"Went well. Had to run out a couple times to find the right size items for a very old house (built in 1920s). This two foot of old pipe was responsible for all our water pressure problems. Inside the old galvanized pipe was found almost an inch thick of rust/buildup."

"Excellent! The plumber was very careful about not making a mess and explained everything that he was doing. He even asked permission to run the hot water for between 3-5 minutes to make sure the line was flushed. He was very polite and professional on top of it!"

"Knowledgeable, dedicated to the project now matter obstacles, i.e. hired to replace 42' of 55 year old clay waste tile. Had to deal with recently cut large tree removing stump, gas line recently installed somewhat On top of a water line on top of the waste line 7.5' deep...and then 5 hours of rain. The only organization to use for such a plumbing job. Thank you to all involved."

"Robin and crew did a very nice job. They were very polite and punctual and were able to get my broken hot water tank replaced pretty quickly in the dead of winter. They accommodated moving my new water heater to a different/preferred area of the basement. They worked hard all day without a lunch break and the work was very tidy- things were done quite cleanly and efficiently. They cleaned up afterward and everything looked great. Robin's communication with me was always prompt and excellent, including a follow-up call after installation. I can't write a review yet about the tankless brand itself because it's still quite new, but so far so good- we're enjoying the instant hot water and not worrying about running out of hot water!"

"I purchased a deal through Angie's List for one hour of home services from Kevin's Home Services.  When I opened the spigots to outdoor faucets, I found the valve stems leaking on the indoor shutoff, and on the outdoor hose faucet.  The interior shutoff was old and corroded, and sweat soldered in line.  I was afraid of trying to repack the valve stems because of the difficult location, and the corroded fittings.  Geoff, from Kevin's home service called and arranged to check the lines.  After checking the work, he came back the next day and soldered in a new in-line valve on the interior, including replacing part of the water line to make the valve more accessible. He replaced the exterior faucet fitting. 

  The work was very neat, Geoff was thorough and friendly, and we are very satisfied with the result. The interior shutoff is much more convenient and accessible. The work took a bit over the one hour included in the deal, but we were charged only for the hour.  Geoff supplied the parts, and charged an additional $30 for parts, which I think was very reasonable.

  A neighbor had a similar problem and on my recommendation she made arrangements for Geoff to come to her house the following day.  He replaced two interior shutoffs with in-line valves, and charged her for one hour and parts.  She, too is very satisfied with the service.

   After a week or so of use, we noticed that the new exterior faucet was very difficult to turn on or off, and dripped unless we put a lot of effort in turning it off.  I called and Geoff came out later in the day and switched out the exterior faucet with a different style which is much easier to turn on or off. There was no charge for this follow up.

  I recommend Kevin's Home service, and will use them again when needed. They are very easy to do business with, and provide excellent service at a reasonable price.

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Yes, most municipalities have codes that require water heaters to have pans. A pan is necessary when a water heater or hot water storage tank is installed in an area where water leakage could cause damage, such as an attic, second floor, or finished basement. Tankless water heaters are not required to have a pan since there is no storage tank.

Several signs indicate your water heater may be failing or in need of replacement. Key indicators include:

  • Age: A water heater older than ten years is approaching the end of its typical lifespan.

  • Water Quality: If you notice rusty or discolored water from your hot water faucets, or a foul odor similar to rotten eggs or sulfur, it can signal internal corrosion.

  • Unusual Noises: Banging, rumbling, or popping sounds from the tank often mean sediment has built up, causing the unit to overheat.

  • Leaks: Any water pooling around the base of the tank or visible leaks are clear signs of failure.

  • Performance Issues: A decline in performance, such as water not getting hot enough, taking longer to heat up, low water pressure, or decreased efficiency, suggests the unit is struggling.

  • Visible Damage: Obvious rust and corrosion on the exterior of the tank can indicate a more serious internal problem.

While these signs often point to replacement, some issues may be fixable. It's best to consult a professional plumber to diagnose the problem before investing in a new unit.

Yes, this would be an appropriate choice. In order to comply with the National Electric Code’s rules, you'll need to install a circuit breaker that's 125% larger than the intended load. In this case, you'll multiply 30 amps by 1.25 to find the necessary breaker size. Plugging that equation in for your 30-amp water heater will leave you with a 37.6-amp breaker. If your current water heater keeps tripping the breaker, it might be time to talk to a plumber or electrician about upgrading your water heater's setup.

Most hot water heater manufacturers recommend replacing the anode rod about once every three to five years. Anode rods sacrifice themselves by collecting iron, limestone, and other minerals that would otherwise corrode your hot water heater tank. This abuse wears them out long before your water heater does. Check the rod when you remove it and replace it if more than 50% of the metal has been consumed. Check the rod more frequently if you have hard water or use a water softener. 

Depending on the brand of water heater, you may need to install an expansion tank in order to meet the conditions for warranty coverage. It’s important for consumers to read the fine print of the warranty to see if an expansion tank is necessary. Even if an expansion tank isn’t required for the warranty, it’s usually mandated by building codes—although not for tankless water heaters.
