"What a nightmare! I had a leaky stop valve behind my toilet. The pipes are cpvc and it was using a compression ring designed for copper pipes and i could not get that thing off. He first said he could remove for $150. After trying for a few minutes he said he had to make a hole in the wall and cut pipe and extend it. They also had to remove my toilet for space. When removing the toilete, they didnt cut the seal around the base and they savagely lifted the toilette along with the floor about 1 foot off the ground. (Floor is vinyl placed over tiles) They were able to get the pipe fixed but they didnt patch the hole before putting my toilete back with its original seal (no new toilet ring). A few days later I noticed water would seap up through the vinyl floor board. I thought maybe some water go 8n between when they lifted the toilet off the ground and I assumed the water would drain through the grout in between the tiles under the vinyl floor. But the water never drained, in fact I noticed even more water each day. Until one day I realized it wasn't water. It smelled like pee. The water is coming through the toilet ring they never replaced. Anyways I got some work to do thanks to the incompetent a holes. Do yourself a huge favor and don't let these guys near your pipes"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

It usually takes a professional water heater installer between two and three hours to remove an existing water heater and install a new tank heater. However, it could take four to five hours if they have to work in a small utility closet or another tight area, like a crawl space. Tankless water heaters have a more complicated installation process, so they will take a bit longer. Additionally, a gas water heater requires a connection to a gas line, and that alone can add about an hour to the installation timeline compared to installing an electric water heater.

Water expands when heated and also when freezing. When water is heated, it expands by around 4%. For a full water heater, this is one of the main reasons malfunctions occur—the hot water has nowhere else to go but out. Due to the constant expansion and reduction in volume, it’s recommended (required in most places) that an expansion tank be installed.

Venting a gas water heater out of the roof is preferable in most cases. Heated exhaust gases naturally rise, so a vertical vent pipe is efficient. If you’re trying to vent through a pipe exiting a wall, the angle of the pipe may be more horizontal than vertical, making the venting system less effective. If you go through a wall, you may need to add a fan to ensure a successful expulsion of the gases outdoors.

There are pros and cons to tankless water heaters. They are more efficient than traditional tank water heaters, and maintenance costs are lower. These units are also much more compact. On the other hand, they cost about twice as much to install as traditional tank water heaters and are more limited in terms of flow rate.

When the water expands in a hot water heater, it puts pressure on your hot water pipes and can cause leaks or a rupture in the hot water tank under certain conditions. Pipes or water heaters may split due to the pressure where there is a backflow preventer that prevents the hot water heater from diffusing pressure by releasing water back to the public water line.

In these scenarios, a hot water heater expansion tank provides a place for the hot water heater to relieve pressure and prevent bursts and leaks.
