ASAP Drain Guys & Plumbing was previously called out to this location to perform a leak detection behind the store. The tech found that there was a water leak on the 2″ brass flange and recommended replacing it to a rubber gasket or replacing the entire flange if the gasket could not be matched.
This job required a two-person team. The water was turned off to the building and the system drained out. The techs dug down to remove meter box and dug around meter to fully expose the water meter and pipe. The leaking gasket was removed. A new gasket was installed and reconnected to the 2″ PVC pipe with mechanical coupling.
ASAP turned the water back on and checked for leaks. They flushed out air from the system. There are no leaks at this time. The techs back-filled the soil around the meter box.
Also while on this property, ASAP also replaced a 3/4″ hose bib behind a neighboring store.
