"While visiting my father, I found out the pilot light on the hot water heater wasn't staying lit. I found out a different company (I didn't
get the name, otherwise, I'd add a negative review on them) had come out and had apparently banged a wrench against the heater in attempt to and quot;fix it.and quot; They said if it continued to act up, it would have to be replaced and quoted $2,000!!! for the job. $2,000 to replace a hot water heater isn't just steep, it's insane. I heard that they had also been out several times at $200 per visit but didn't replace the thermocouple and instead just re-lit the pilot light each time.
I found North Valley Plumbing through Angie's list and called. I spoke with the owner who said he'd have someone come out to the house. I assumed that meant much later in the day, so when their van pulled up about 20 minutes later, I was very pleasantly surprised.
So right from the start I was impressed. But that was just the beginning of how impressive North Valley Plumbing is and how impressed I was with their service.
Robert was very professional and listened to our tale of woe. He identified the problem and got right to work. He explained what he was doing and was very courteous and friendly. He didn't have the correct size part with him and said he had to go pick up a new one and would be right back. He kept his word and was back very quickly. He charged what the part cost him.
Since I don't live in the area, I told Robert if more work is needed, I'll definitely call North Valley Plumbing again. Definitely a great shop with great people.

"The yearly service works out to be $50 a month. We've had two water heaters replaced through them because of a fault in them. They're usually very responsive. I like that I can request the service online. The only thing is, I wish that there was a better avenue for emergency services. If something doesn't work right away usually it takes a couple of days to get someone out and sometimes you can't wait two days without water."

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

The chemicals in a water softener can wear down the anode rod in the heater and shorten its life span. However, for most people, the benefits of the softener outweigh this potential drawback.

Have a plumber inspect the anode rod annually for damage, as replacing the anode rod is far less expensive than replacing the entire water heater.

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.

No. Expansion tanks must be installed on the supply side (where heated water flows out) of the boiler. There’s also a list of other requirements for most boilers, including being above the pressure relief valves, being on the inner side of any circulator, and more. Your installation manual should have more information on expansion tank installation requirements and what sort of tank the system is made for.

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.
