"Bob Larson is a scam. I bought a $10,000 on-demand water heater in November 2023. Bob Larson Plumbing recommended and installed the unit; at first, it was great. Since December 2024, the system has been having issues randomly turning itself off. It was more of a nuisance than a real issue at first. I could turn it back on. Bob Larson was called and came out twice but could not resolve the issue. In March of 2025, the problem got worse, and hot water was random at best, even if I reset the heater manually. Instead of resolving the issue or exchanging it, Bob Larson Plumbing is trying to sell me another unit. I am still under warranty. My original receipt shows a 5-year warranty on parts and labor. Bob Larson is an upselling scam. They will not be getting any more of my money."

"My elderly mother is partially blind and disabled. On November 1, 2021 her washing machine broke leaking water in her home. In desperation she called rotor rooter. Roto rooter came out, stopped the leak, and put dryers in and left. They returned a few days later to remove the dryers. The technician quoted my mother a cost of about $3000.00. My mother signed a contract but could not see what she was signing. After Roto rooter Reno removed the dryers they sent a bill to my mother for $9000.00. The contract she signed stated Roto rooter would remove walls, roofing, insulation, baseboard, tile etc. Roto rooter didn’t do any of those things. Roto rooter is price gauging and took advantage of an elderly disabled woman. Roto rooter technicians were in the home no more than 3 hours total. First my mother did not have capacity to enter into a contract as she couldn’t see what she was signing. 2 Roto rooters technicians told her the cost would be about $3000.00. 3 Roto rooter did not do the work in the contract. I believe Roto rooter is commuting elder abuse and fraud."

"Extremely Disappointing Experience ? Overpriced and Poor Quality Work I had a very frustrating experience with this company and would not recommend their services. I requested a simple job?re-piping the connection between a new sink and the drain. The work took about 15 minutes, yet I was charged $900, which is completely unreasonable for such a basic task. More concerning than the price was the quality of the work. The technician left old components in place, including a worn P-trap connection that should have been replaced. When I raised concerns, I was reassured everything was fine?until it wasn?t. After reconnecting my disposal, it became obvious the pipe was misaligned. When the technician returned, his attitude suggested he was doing me a favor rather than fixing his own mistake. Later, when I tested the system, the P-trap started leaking. No matter how carefully I tightened it, the leak persisted. When I contacted the company again, I was told the issue was somehow my faul"

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Gig Harbor, WA

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.
