"We pay yearly but we have this is included with our rental property. They are pretty good on most things. We had a hot water heater replaced and they did an excellent job on that. They are very quick on their response. They dont come out here. It is all done on the internet.  I just like the idea that one time service charge is so much better than trying to hiring someone to come in. It is more about convenience. It pays for itself."

"The gutters on my home started sagging last year during a brutal ice storm.  Large icicles formed that pulled them down and away from the roof in places.  Rainwater would pour out of the gutters in these areas, creating a waterfall effect.  I don't know why I put off calling to get them repaired.  
I contacted Mr. Machen, who was very friendly on the phone, approximately two weeks before the work was actually performed.  We made an appointment for a few days later for him to come out and give me an estimate.  There was a problem the day he was supposed to come out and we rescheduled for a few days later.  When he came out, he was again very nice and polite.  He took a look and gave me an estimate for the work which I thought was a great price.  He was back less than a week later to repair and clean the gutters.  He and his helper re-attached the parts of the gutters that were coming loose and then cleaned the gutters.   They made sure there was no debris left anywhere on my property after cleaning them too.  When I took a look at the gutters (from the ground), you couldn't even tell which parts had been sagging.  The work was excellent.  I paid exactly the estimated price.  It's been a week since the work was done and it has rained A LOT since then.  The water drains the way it's supposed to now.  I am very pleased with the job that was done and will definitely call these guys up again for more work.
In fact, while Mr. Machen was here giving me the estimate for the gutter work,  I asked if he would take a look at my bathtub too.  I need to have the faucet replaced and have the entire surrounding area re-grouted and re-caulked.  I think the estimate he gave me for that work was fair and I will be contacting him within the next few weeks to schedule an appointment."

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Several things can void the warranty for your water heater. Many water heater manufacturers state that installing your own will void the warranty. However, even if you get away with performing the task yourself, incorrect installation, lack of a building permit, and improper repair work, regardless of licensing status, can all render your water heater unprotected by both the manufacturer's warranty and any installation warranties. 

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.

If your system is not vented properly, you could experience what’s called backdrafting. Backdrafting is when your ventilation system isn’t working as it should, and instead of releasing gases outside, they get trapped inside your home. 

Gas and propane water heaters create a few types of combustion gases, but the most dangerous is carbon monoxide. If there’s too much build-up of these gases inside your home, it can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

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.
