"I was referred to Superior Plumbing and within 3 years of contacting them their employee was at my home and working on the back up in my storm water drain running to the street. Angel was quickly able to trouble shoot and assess my problem and solve the issue. He was extremely patient and pleasant explaining the problem and resolution. I would definitely recommend Dean and his team to friends, family and co-workers. Pendleton NY resident"

"Immediate call back, out to assess within a few hours.  Immediately recognized that having water in the radiators could be a major problem and had us drain them (something that was not told to us by a company the prior day), and also that we could be at risk for our water pipes to freeze.  They came out the following morning at 8 am, on time, replaced the system, vented it out of the side of the house, temperatures sub zero the entire morning.  Finished work by 5:30 pm.  Professional, courteous.  Covered their shoes inside the house.  Installed all new CO monitors and fire alarms.  Good prices.  Couldn't have asked for better service.

"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

While a water heater explosion is rare, it is a serious danger. Be aware of these critical warning signs:

  • Sulfur or Rotten Egg Smell: This is a major red flag, especially for gas water heaters. It can indicate a gas leak, which could ignite and cause an explosion.

  • Leaking Pressure Valve: If the temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve is leaking, it may not be able to properly regulate internal pressure, creating a risk of bursting.

  • Shaking or Rumbling: Loud rumbling or shaking from the tank can be a sign of extreme pressure buildup.

  • Excessive Heat: If the exterior of the water heater feels unusually hot to the touch, the unit may be overheating dangerously.

  • Rust-Colored Water: This can be a symptom of severe internal corrosion that compromises the tank's integrity.

If you notice any of these signs, especially a gas smell, you must act immediately. Shut off the gas supply to the water heater and call a professional plumber right away to prevent a potential disaster.

The lifespan of a water heater depends on its type, usage, and maintenance schedule. Traditional tank-style water heaters typically last between 8 and 12 years, though the range can be as wide as 6 to 15 years. Within this category, gas models often last 8-12 years, while electric models may last 10-15 years. In contrast, tankless water heaters have a significantly longer lifespan, often lasting up to 20 years or more. Factors like heavy usage, hard water, and sediment buildup can shorten a unit's life. To extend its lifespan, it is crucial to perform regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank annually and scheduling professional inspections. If your unit is over a decade old and shows signs of rust, leaks, strange noises, or inconsistent heating, it is likely time for a replacement.

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.

Tankless water heaters heat water as it passes through the unit instead of storing heated water in the tank. Their ability to produce hot water on an as-needed basis makes them more efficient. However, they are generally more expensive than traditional units. Is a tankless water heater worth it? Most homeowners will save money with a tankless unit in the long run by using less energy.

A thermocouple is a pretty simple device. It simply tells the control valve if heat is present. Most water heaters can use a universal thermocouple, provided it's the correct length. Getting one that's long enough for your appliance is crucial for success. However, some water heater models require model-specific thermocouples, which is why it's essential to take your existing one to the store to find the right match.
