Q: How do you know if your water heater is about to burst?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What are the pros and cons of electric water heaters?

• <div><p>Every type of water heater has its advantages and disadvantages. Understanding those can help you decide the best type for your situation and budget. </p><p>Pros</p><ul><li><p>Safer than gas or propane</p></li><li><p>Doesn&rsquo;t require extensive venting systems</p></li><li><p>Lower upfront costs</p></li><li><p>Simpler to operate</p></li><li><p>No pilot light</p></li><li><p>Easier installation</p></li><li><p>More efficient heating than gas models</p></li><li><p>Available as point-of-use (POU) and whole-house units</p></li></ul><p>Cons</p><ul><li><p>Slower to heat water</p></li><li><p>Longer recovery time</p></li><li><p>Possibly higher operating costs</p></li><li><p>Doesn&rsquo;t work during a power outage</p></li><li><p>Costs can increase without a 240-volt connection</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Are hybrid water heaters noisy?

• <div><p>Yes, hybrid water heaters can be noisy &mdash; noisier than traditional water heaters. The sound they produce is often compared to the hum of a dishwasher. Its noise comes from the heat pump&rsquo;s fan and compressor as they work to pull in and compress the air. While it&rsquo;s not totally disruptive, especially if the unit is installed in less frequented areas, like a basement or garage, it&rsquo;s something to keep in mind if you&rsquo;re sensitive to noise or if the unit will be placed near bedrooms or living spaces.</p></div>

Q: What do I need to replace after water damage?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can you use a boiler and a water heater interchangeably?

• <div><p>No. Boilers and water heaters are not interchangeable because they serve different purposes. A water heater will never be able to supply warm water or steam for your central heating system. In most homes, a boiler and a water heater may be combined to provide heating and daily use of hot water. Other homes may opt for a furnace over a boiler for their heating needs.</p></div>

"Chris underdelivered. I hired him based on his Angie rating and Certified Pro badge. Chris bid on replacing a section of sidewalk, installing a stone path, and pouring two concrete pads: one 13 ;x23; pad and the other 19'x30' (change order to 21 x36 ). Chris is pleasant and works hard. His bid was the highest, but I support small businesses. The large pad ended up 21 ;x35 ; (a foot (*21 sqft*) less than agreed and paid) and spalling in large areas. It has not been a month since it was poured, and the pad has yet to be used. I will have to epoxy once I can afford it. In response to the pictures, Chris texted, That is the spot up front we were trying to smooth up with the wet leftovers. Kinda figured that might happen. The concrete is fiberglass just a low spot there. He said he would protect the retaining wall against spillage. Many red-colored wall caps are now stained gray and must be cleaned or replaced. Lessons learned."

"The man who came to do the work was professional and did the work as directed by his supervisor who didn?t know basic electrical knowledge. He was instructed to use smaller wire and much bigger breaker than is required and not what we asked for nor what was quoted. What he installed was extremely dangerous and fire hazard particularly since it was under the house in the crawl space where a fire would go undetected till too late to save lives. The electrician who came here had to replace everything he did to our specifications turning a hour and half job into a six hour job. It doesn?t appear that the electrician in charge is an actual licensed electrician and clearly doesn?t know what he is doing. We worry about the young apprentice sent out to do the work will end up killing somebody from following instructions from his incompetent boss. "

"We had to reschedule my radon mitigation system install a couple of times, but Chase was super easy to work with on this, and still the job was finished less than two weeks after first contact. He found a way to do the job in the least disruptive way possible, and I appreciate that. The area was tidied up afterwards. The system has been up and running for over a week and I've seen an immediate improvement, with measured levels in my home down from an average of 8.3 pCi/l to an average of 0.38. If you have elevated radon levels in your home, I highly recommend you give Safeguard Solutions a call."
