"I can't thank the guys enough for coming to the rescue. I started a toilet repair that should have been fairly easy, however….. So after realizing the job was too big for me I turned to Angi's list and they connected me to Garner Plumbing. They showed up that afternoon and had the job fixed within a half an hour or just a little more. I feel very confident in the work they did and they were very nice to work with. Would definitely recommend them to anyone needing plumbing service and the Jefferson, Athens, Winder area ."

"Remedy is the best plumbing company in the Athens area! They truly care for their customers and go above and beyond to make sure they are happy. I switched to a tankless water heater and the work was perfectly executed and for a fair price. I highly recommend them for all plumbing needs and will be using them in the future!"

"Of course my water heater goes out on Sunday! They walked me through the process of turning off the hot water to slow/stop the leak. Came on time the next day and not only installed the new heater but insulated some pipes . Great service!!!"

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Athens, GA

Warning signs include fluctuating water temperatures, a pilot light that repeatedly goes out, unusual noises from the tank, or complete heating failure. You might also detect a rotten egg smell, indicating a potential gas leak, or notice water that never reaches the proper temperature. If your water heater is over eight years old and displaying these symptoms, the gas valve is a likely culprit. Professional inspection is recommended, especially if gas odors are present.

Water heater gas valves are not universally interchangeable. Each valve must match your specific water heater's make, model, and specifications. Important compatibility factors include gas type (natural gas vs. propane), BTU rating, connection types, and physical dimensions. Using an incorrect valve can result in poor performance, premature failure, or dangerous gas leaks. Always consult your water heater's documentation or a professional plumber to identify the appropriate replacement valve for your unit.
