This proposal outlines the plumbing labor and materials required to add a functional utility sink setup to your basement utility boiler room. To avoid the massive mess, expense, and concrete jackhammering associated with traditional basement plumbing, we will utilize a premium macerator pump system. This advanced technology grinds and pumps the waste upward, allowing us to safely tie your new basement fixtures directly into the home's existing overhead main waste line. Scope of Work Waste Discharge: We will route a 1-inch PVC discharge line from the powerful macerator pump, running it up and tying it safely and securely into your home's main overhead waste line. 2. Utility Sink & Water Lines The Sink: We will supply and install a heavy-duty Mustee 20-inch utility sink, equipped with a reliable basic chrome faucet. Drainage: The utility sink will be piped to drain directly into the Saniflo macerator pump, utilizing the pump to efficiently eject the sink's greywater. Water Supply:

Because your tank is currently covered under the manufacturer's warranty, the physical cost of the new tank itself is covered.

Scope of Work 1. Demolition & Warranty Processing Removal: We will safely drain, disconnect, and remove your existing failed water heater. Warranty Handling: GSMS will handle the logistics of returning the failed tank and will cover the $100 warranty processing fee charged by the distributor on your behalf. 2. Equipment Installation & Code Upgrades The New Tank: We will supply and install your new warranty-replacement 40-gallon Bradford White power-vented natural gas water heater in the exact same footprint.

Based on our initial water test, elevated levels of bacteria were found. The first step prior to treatment is to shock the well and collect a follow-up bacteria sample 7-10 days post-shocking. Once we confirm bacteria is removed from the water system, we can design a solution to treat the other water quality concerns, including a UV light to provide protection and peace of mind for future bacterial growth.
