"When our basement's pipe and water filter unexpectedly burst, Delroy from Pipe Works Services came to our rescue. He arrived promptly, assessed our situation, and helped us choose a cost-effective yet highly functional solution. Delroy swiftly installed new piping, pressure valves, and a water filter with great attention to detail. We wholeheartedly recommend Pipe Works Services for all your plumbing needs, including their 24-hour emergency services—be sure to request Delroy!"

"I called All Weather to give me a quote for replacing my gas boiler. They set up a time for their salesperson to come over and give me a quote. The appointment was only a few days later and a man named Joe showed up on time. He spent some time with me, I told him I was looking for a new boiler and a new hot water heater, but I wanted to see what options I have (since I was debating going to a tankless water heater). He told me going indirect hot water tank is the best option and they always use this brand that's the "best one out there". Even though he may have been right, he didn't tend to my questions or concerns very well. I felt like he was getting annoyed that I had questions and eventually I just let him run the show just to get him out of my house faster. Especially when he gave me a quote of $8600, it was much higher than I was anticipating. One thing I really didn't like was when he said I'd have to get a permit since I live in an incorporated village, which would be an extra $500, meanwhile I already had another plumber tell me a permits only $200. So I went with another company. So even though I can't rate All Weather on their work quality, I didn't get a good feeling from their salesperson."

"They did a fantastic job, however I believe the labor cost was a little steep. And they should share the maintenance on the water heater with the customer."

"PlunbWell and Bruno are an excellent choice for my difficult situation. I was getting the air in my hot and cold water lines and could not figure out where it was coming from. He called me in the morning and arrived promptly on time later in the afternoon. He determined that the storage tank was waterlogged, which meant that the blatter was broken and that was allowing air into the system. With further inspection and knowing the history of my submersible water pump, it was probably time to replace that also while he was here. He gave me three different estimates for different projects. I chose the best fit for me. Bruno spent probably double the time he should have two replace the holding tank and submerge pump that it should have taken because the well was an odd size, but maybe typical back in the late 50s early 60s. I would highly recommend PlunbWell and Bruno to repair any plumbing that you have in your house or business at a very reasonable cost."

"I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received. From the moment I called, the team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. They arrived right on time, diagnosed the issue quickly, and took the time to explain the repair process clearly. The quality of the workmanship is top-tier. They were efficient, tidy, and made sure everything was functioning perfectly before heading out. It’s rare to find a service provider that balances technical expertise with such great customer care. If you’re looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled plumbing team, I highly recommend giving them a call!"

"Great! Cory provide estimate the same day. Once the parts I ordered arrived, Don was able to move up my appointment to better fit my schedule. Cory and Don arrived early on the day of the job after giving me a call ahead of time. They completed all work originally and cleaned everything up. Original estimate right on target. I liked that they answered their phones when I called and/or returned calls within 24hrs after leaving a message. Cory and Don were very polite and wore masks. Thanks for a doing a great job!"

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Dover, NJ

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.
