We had a 3rd floor condo bathroom, where the hot water pressure was barely a trickle. Showering, was incredibly refreshing, but with the really cold weather, it became impossible.
The issue was not a building-wide issue (the hot water risers had been replaced a few years ago), so this was something within our unit. We called plumber #1 who said they'd have to rip out the tile, break into the wall, replace all of the pipes at a cost of about $2,500-$3,500. Yikes! $150.00 for the visit.
The building's management company gave us the name of plumber #2 who said nonsense! 'Dis is a Chicago Faucet... we do 'dis kid of 'ting all da time... no problem! They came out, pulled the faucet, pulled the handles and valves... and in the long run ($350.00 later) they couldn't fix it.
Each of these visits from plumbers #1 and #2 we had to have the water turned off in the tier... (no small feat).
The building maintenance guy told us to give Pressure Pros a call. Jay came out quickly... we didn't have to have the water turned off. He was on time, he was a nice guy... he lugged this unusual home-grown device, on two wheels, up three flights of stairs... plugged it into the shower nozzle, spent 20 minutes pushing pressure back and forth, back and forth... while we sat and talked.
When he pulled the device back off the nozzle, miraculously... without turning off the water to the tier... without damaging the bathroom tile, and without needing to use our Home-Equity-Line-of-Credit... we had more hot water pressure than we'd ever had. And all for less than $100.00. He didn't accept credit cards... but he said he'd mail me a bill.
I can't say enough nice things about Jay and Pressure Pros. They saved us thousands, they were professional, nice, neat and showed up on time. What more can you ask!?
