"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."

You should replace your gas water heater when it’s reached the end of its lifespan, which is a maximum of 12 years in most cases. If your unit is over a decade old and showing signs of inefficiency, leaks, or frequent malfunctions, it may be time to replace your water heater. Research how to best maintain your gas water heater to help extend its lifespan.
The average cost to install a new water heater is approximately $1,300, with a typical price range between $880 and $1,800. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type and size of the unit, its location and accessibility, and the amount of labor required. For example, installing a unit in a tight space like a crawl space can increase labor costs. The type of water heater significantly impacts the price: while a conventional gas heater might cost less than $1,000, tankless models can cost around $2,600 to install (and up to $3,500), and solar heaters can cost upwards of $3,700. Other factors that can affect the total price include the fuel type, vent system requirements, permits, and whether any additional plumbing work or repairs from previous water heater damage are needed.
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.
We recommend you turn off the unit, the power, and the water supply as soon as you notice a leak. Your water heater tank should have a dedicated shut-off valve located on the cold inlet pipes. If the valve is broken or inoperable, use the shut-off valve to your home's main water supply to stop the flow to the entire house.
Avoid touching valves or pipes directly without confirming if they are hot. Wear gloves and other safety gear to keep from coming into contact with hot levers or components when turning off your leaking water heater.
In most municipalities, a license is not mandatory for water heater installation or replacement. However, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed plumber or water heater installer to handle the work. Licensed installers are far less likely to make a mistake during the installation, which means paying for the experience decreases your risk of a leak and other issues. You can use our state licensing tool to find out if a contractor you’re considering in your area holds a plumber’s license.
