"Paul and T. J. were courteous and competent. Not only did they replace the leaking pipe, but they also rerouted it so that I wouldn't have that problem again. They changed a light bulb that had burned out and cleaned up the mess the leaking pipe had caused. I recommend them highly."

"I went on line and stated I was looking for a plumber in my area. I seen a review for Bay City Plumbing..I then stated what the problem was and this information was given to him. Was then asked if the plumbing service could give me a call. I stated yes, and Mr Stan called me immediately.. I stated I was at work and wouldn't be home until late.. He came out late that very evening to look at my faucet.. said he would be back the next evening to get it fixed.. He showed up promptly the next evening and got it fixed promptly.. was very grateful. New faucet, looks great, works great. I will recommend Bay City Plumbing to friends and family."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

While a water heater explosion is rare, it is a serious danger. Be aware of these critical warning signs:

  • Sulfur or Rotten Egg Smell: This is a major red flag, especially for gas water heaters. It can indicate a gas leak, which could ignite and cause an explosion.

  • Leaking Pressure Valve: If the temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve is leaking, it may not be able to properly regulate internal pressure, creating a risk of bursting.

  • Shaking or Rumbling: Loud rumbling or shaking from the tank can be a sign of extreme pressure buildup.

  • Excessive Heat: If the exterior of the water heater feels unusually hot to the touch, the unit may be overheating dangerously.

  • Rust-Colored Water: This can be a symptom of severe internal corrosion that compromises the tank's integrity.

If you notice any of these signs, especially a gas smell, you must act immediately. Shut off the gas supply to the water heater and call a professional plumber right away to prevent a potential disaster.

An average-sized empty water heater weighs around 150 pounds. Tankless water heaters are much lighter, weighing between 10 and 50 pounds. The smaller size and added convenience come at a price, though—tankless water heaters average about twice the price of their traditional counterparts.

Price variations arise from size, type (tankless or tank), efficiency grades, and installation complexity, including labor and materials.

A leaking water heater could potentially last for a few weeks or months before you need to repair it. However, it's not advisable to wait too long. Once your water heater starts leaking, it's likely that the underlying cause of the leak is getting worse as time goes on. Without immediate repair, your water heater could fail. Instead of using a leaky water heater, you should turn it off and call a pro to fix it.

Yes, hybrid water heaters can be noisy — noisier than traditional water heaters. The sound they produce is often compared to the hum of a dishwasher. Its noise comes from the heat pump’s fan and compressor as they work to pull in and compress the air. While it’s not totally disruptive, especially if the unit is installed in less frequented areas, like a basement or garage, it’s something to keep in mind if you’re sensitive to noise or if the unit will be placed near bedrooms or living spaces.
