"The Roto-Rooter plumber was able to replace the hot water heater effectively and efficiently the same day I requested their service, several hours after I requested it. I was very pleased with their prompt attention to this matter as the water heater was leaking into my kitchen. Great job."

"It went great. I first noticed the problem when I went to take a shower the Thursday night before the Memorial day weekend. I had to work the next day and ICE COLD shower awaited me! So after I suffered through hypothermia ... The next morning I contacted a company via their website about my problem but the website and quot;request for serviceand quot; page was not working. Then I did a quick search to see who else in the area might be able to help me. I noticed Golden Rule was close to my house and put in a request for service on their website just like the first company. Within an hour I has a call back and a service technician at my house within 4 hours, and this apparently is not rush service, if they are available they come, even on weekends or holidays and it's not extra $$$. Also, I was at work the day after the hot water heater stopped working they gave me a window between 12 and 4pm they could be there but said they would give me a 30 minute courtesy call, which was perfect because it takes me about that long to get home from work. Made arrangements at work, got the call, headed home. Technician arrived shortly after greeted me friendly and looked me straight in the eyes asked me about the problem, wrote stuff down, put on some shoe covers to protect my house against dirt from his shoes and asked me to show him the water heater.
I took him to the heater and he looked at it, looked at the manual, made some phone calls, watched it got through a cycle of trying to light but not lighting the pilot light. I asked him some questions about what he thought was going on, I'd already sort of explored what might be happening/ not happening. We answered all my questions, gave me some options what he thought was going on, quoted some estimate prices and estimated times for repair. I also have a cat that is very and quot;personableand quot; and she came down to see the technician. I offered to put her away but he said it was fine she stayed and he even patted her and he acted like it was no big deal. Then he went to his car to make some calls to find the part I needed, then went and got it across town. He returned, replaced the part and it started working. I had hot water by the evening :) It took about 3.5 hours in total. This was same day service! I was very impressed at their professionalism, quality, friendliness of the technician! I would highly recommend!

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in De Soto, IA

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.
