"Making It All Work" since 1976, Wm. Masters, Inc. has been providing quality service, at a timely manner and at competetive rates for all your plumbing, electrical, heating & air conditioning, and air duct cleaning needs.

"The plumber arrived 1/2 hour late after going to the wrong house. We ended up getting charged for this time. The plumber worked on the sink first. After I explained what the problem was and expressed concern it might be a venting problem, he got out the power auger and proceeded to auger the drain for about 20 minutes. He then said, "let's go to the basement and check the pipes. I hope I didn't put a hole in one of the pipes." Not exactly words to build confidence. He then said the problem was fixed. He said the toilet noise was due to a faulty valve. He did not have the part with him and had to go purchase it. After replacing the part, the noise was gone. Later that day, the noise returned, and I noticed the sink was backing up again. I called, and he came back out, augered the sink again, then said "it was some kind of venting problem." Really? He said he would give me the names of companies who dealt with that issue, but never followed up. He determined the toilet noise was coming from the assembly inside of the tank, and replaced that. The problem was solved, but the assembly has a very slow leak which causes the toilet tank to fill up at various intervals when we are not using it. In short, he misdiagnosed both problems and we essentially paid $270 for a $12 part that was not installed properly. We will not be using this company again."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Electric water heaters typically last 10 to 20 years, though proper maintenance can extend their lifespan. If your unit is over a decade old and showing signs of inefficiency—such as higher energy bills, frequent repairs, or leaks—replacement is a smart investment. Tankless models last over 20 years, which can make them a longer-lasting alternative to traditional tank water heaters.

Water heaters seldom ever burst, but when they do, you should know the warning signs to protect your home. The biggest sign that your water heater is about to burst is a sulfuric smell. If your home inexplicably smells like rotten eggs, then this could be an indication of a gas leak in your gas water heater. If gas leaks out of the unit, it could ignite and cause an explosion, so you should immediately shut off the gas and call a plumber near you to inspect your water heater.

Replacing an older water heater that requires frequent repairs is almost always worth it. If your fixture is nearing the end of its life span—around 10 to 20 years, depending on the model—replacing a water heater might save you money in the long run. Replacing a water heater generally costs less than repairing a fully flooded basement, and some high-efficiency units pay for themselves thanks to energy savings. Plus, installing a new water heater and upgrading to tankless will boost your home value and make your hot water more readily available, improving comfort for your family.

If your system is not vented properly, you could experience what’s called backdrafting. Backdrafting is when your ventilation system isn’t working as it should, and instead of releasing gases outside, they get trapped inside your home. 

Gas and propane water heaters create a few types of combustion gases, but the most dangerous is carbon monoxide. If there’s too much build-up of these gases inside your home, it can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Yes, a water heater can be replaced in a day and can take between two and three hours to install from start to finish. Even if you encounter extra tasks that need to be completed, the job can still be completed in one day.
