"Same day service without any extra fees. They arrived quickly and were able to fix my water heater in no time. It's an older unit so they did quote a replacement, good info for the future. They were super knowledgeable, professional, answered all my questions and explained the issue/ solution. Stayed to make sure everything was working, I'm happy to have hot water again! Quoted price was the final price but I wish there was an option to tip."

"As a Realtor, having reliable contractors I can confidently recommend to my clients is incredibly important, and Eric with Tight Lines Plumbing is always my first call. He recently installed a new water heater at my home in Wilsonville, and the experience only reinforced why I trust him so much. Eric is honest, knowledgeable, responsive, and does exceptional work. He takes the time to explain everything, offers fair pricing, and truly cares about his customers. My clients have always had great experiences with him, and I never hesitate to send his name their way. If you’re looking for a plumber you can trust, whether it’s a water heater, repairs, or a larger plumbing project, I highly recommend Tight Lines Plumbing!"

"Well, it's fixed. A learning experience ? get many bids and make sure the company wants your business. Pros ? Technicians were polite and respectful of my home while I worked in meetings all day. ? The pooling water issue in the basement was resolved, and the floor is now dry; the work was ultimately completed. ? Initial estimate visit was free, but not thorough ? Senior staff came out later to apologize and review the work. Cons ? Pricing was far higher than industry norms based on later bids. ? Avoidable scope changes and price increases after work began; two other plumbers said the job could have been done as originally quoted. ? Communication issues (delayed quotes, unclear explanations, forgotten site details). ? Work quality/finishing didn?t match the premium price; two professionals asked if we had done the work ourselves. Added pictures because I don't know plumbing, so you decide if you'd want this. ? Extra fees add up: 10% financing fee (Synchrony) and 4% credit card fee."

"Wilson from Wolcott Plumbing did a very fine job of replacing 2 toilets in our house. He answered all our questions, explained everything in a friendly, efficient manner and did a speedy job. If we ever have plumbing needs in the future we'll call Wolcott and request Wilson to do the work. Very happy with Wilson's attitude and work."

"Axiom got my job done quickly and correctly. My home water main burst, and I hired them to drill in a new one. The soil conditions and other challenges made the job very difficult. Their team ended up working 16 hours straight to get my water back on. It was surreal to see them still having a good attitude at midnight after such a long day. Every person on the job was friendly, respectful, professional, and hard-working. Obviously I am impressed with their service, and would definitely hire them again in the future. Thanks Axiom for giving it 110% for my family to have running water again!"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Due to the high temperature, using stainless steel vent pipes for your tankless water heater’s exhaust vent is best. Also, it is safe to use a flexible vent duct as the exhaust fan. If installing the exhaust fan yourself, make sure you are using heat-resistant silicon to connect the exhaust vent and the duct on your water heater.

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.

No state requires you to vent an electric water heater. Other installation requirements for water heaters will vary, though, depending on the state and local jurisdiction in which you live. Some places require permits, while others don’t. Some may force you to place the appliance a certain distance from any walls or other appliances, while others don't. When you find a local professional to install a water heater, this expert will ensure you follow all the local regulations.

Every city and state will have its own set of installation codes and laws. Some won’t require you to obtain a permit before replacing your water heater, though we recommend you do, regardless of the local codes. On the other hand, some cities and states might require secondary permits for plumbing and electrical work related to the installation. Check with a local water heater installation company and local building codes to confirm which permits are required and what the specific laws are.

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.
