"He was able to quickly diagnose that the water leak from the water heater was a result of a ruptured tank, resulting in the need to replace the entire water heater."
"Elec72I started with using "Richard the Handyman" for a request to replace 2 sets of french door and some other sheet rock work that I had in the house. He did an excellent job on the doors and sheet rock repairs. In fact, I used Richard for about 2 to 4 weeks straight to make repairs to a rental house. Between Richard's work and the landscaper, the leasing agent wanted to sell the house due to the fact that it looked too good to be marketed as a rental. Ultimately, It was rented. What I can say about Richard that his word is good. He charges you what he says, shows up when he is suppose too, and finishes the job or jobs before moving onto his next client. I used Richard to do the following and I thought all of his work was very good and some of it was pure excellent. He did the following; 1) Replaced 2 sets of french doors. The doors did not fit right that I had ordered. He worked around the problem and came up with a great solution, 2) replaced a 32" basement door, 3) repaired sheet rock in walls, 4) repaired 3 or 4 spots in stippled ceilings. Out of the 4, only one was the repair obvious. You could not see the repair on the other 3. 5) He leveled a tub for me and repaired all damage to sheet rock and tile. 6) He painted the living room and ceiling. His paint work is excellent. 7) He repaired appliances for me. 8) He installed a microwave, bathroom fan, security light, repaired a wiring issues, 9) installed 2 toilets and snaked the pipes for me. 10) He replaced a water heater and repaired an outdoor bid hose faucet. 11) he installed a sump pump in my crawlspace to deal with water problem. 12) He repaired carpet, cleaned carpet, and did a touch up job on the house to make it more appealing. 13) He pressure washed the exterior. Overall, Richard did a great job and will do about any job that you have. He is honest and never deceived or took anything from me and kept his word through the 4 weeks. When he could find a way to save me money, he did. What else is to be said."

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.
Traditional gas or electric water heaters last an average of six to 11 years. However, with excellent maintenance, they can last up to 15 years. Heat pump water heaters, on the other hand, last an average of between 12 and 15 years and potentially longer with proper maintenance. In both cases, your home's water quality can be a determining factor regarding the lifespan of your water heater.
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.
Any item that can hold on to moisture and encourage mold growth should be discarded and replaced following water damage. Upholstered items, such as armchairs and couches, and soft items, such as mattresses, usually must be thrown away once they've taken on a lot of water. Soft furniture is difficult to dry out, creating an inviting environment for mold.
You may also need to replace hardwood furniture following water damage if you're unable to fully dry it out. If you have appliances and electronics that have been fully submerged in water, particularly sewage, you'll need to replace those, too.
The amount of time it takes to replace an electric water heater will depend on the skill level of the individual who is replacing it. For example, if you replace it yourself–and you don’t have much experience–you can expect the project to take a full day.
However, if you have a certified plumber or water heater contractor install your new water heater, it can take as little as 2 to 3 hours.
