I'm Davitt M. Armstrong -- "jack-of-all-trades and Master of One"; with a Master Plumber's License here in the great State of Colorado. I'm engaged in highly custom plumbing and hydronic heating applications for discerning clients; with thirty-five years of highly pleased customers. I also provide utterly unbiased and extremely comprehensive home inspection services for buyers and sellers, for a select group of local real estate agents.

"Davitt was out within a couple of hours of calling. He is a really great guy. I do a lot of my own repairs, but after doing a bunch of troubleshooting on the in floor system, I knew it was time for a pro. He took time to work through explaining the system to me as this was the first house we have had an integrated furnace, water heater and flooring heat. It turns out he was the sub on the original 2015 construction. The issue was a bad control panel that operate the zone valves and furnace. Rather than go get the parts himself and incur more costs, he allowed me to go get the parts for him. That allowed him to spend the time pulling the old unit out. One thermostat needed replaced in addition which I did while he was putting the new control panel in. Yep, just see how many contractors would work with you to save costs by you working with them. He also provided the contact info for the other original subs on the house which is awesome info. The parts costs were very reasonable. They could have been easily inflated to double the material line item amount as control panels are typically very expensive components to any specialized system. To address the D rating review. You should have told him this was an insurance claim in the first place. Good luck getting folks to give you itemized materials list. Would you expect a carpenter to give you a materials list on every size board, nail and screw. Your expectations were unrealistic. After all this was supposedly an insurance claim. They are the ones to take it up with unless you were trying to pocket the difference. We are planning to construct another building on the property and will be strongly supporting Davitt as the sub for plumbing and heating."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

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.

Whether to repair or replace your water heater is determined by your water heater’s age and condition. If you have an older model reaching the end of its life expectancy or if your water heater has been having problems more frequently than usual, replacement might serve you better. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading to a tankless water heater, then you may not want to spend any further on repairing your old one, either.

It’s important to find the type of water heater that fits your needs and budget. Depending on the type of water heater, size, brand, and the type of energy you use to heat the water, costs range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand. Some of the most common types of water heaters include:

  • Electric: $600–3,500

  • Gas: $700–$2,700

  • Propane: $700–$2,500

  • High efficiency: $1,500–$3,000

  • Indirect: $1,200–$3,500

  • Hybrid heat pump: $1,200–$3,500

Typically, only a high-efficiency water heater with an inducer fan can be vented outside the house. Otherwise, your water heater needs to be installed on the inside and vented through the roof. However, certain areas may allow a standard-efficiency water heater to be vented outside. Check your local building codes to be sure.

A single shower consumes an average of over 17 gallons, while brushing your teeth with the water running uses up to four unnecessary gallons. Watering the lawn spreads hundreds of gallons of water across the yard each time. Limiting water usage in these areas can significantly cut down your water bill.
