"My initial experience with GRS Plumbing was a number of years ago when I called on them to correct some botched work by another contractor. I expected some long, messy repairs, but GRS corrected the problems quickly and efficiently. Since then I have called on GRS to install toilets (best ones ever), clean dryer exhaust vents, and diagnose the cause of a foreboding dripping like sound from inside the house walls. The sound turned out to be the natural ticking caused by the expansion of pipes when hot water is draining. In every case I have received, at very reasonable cost, prompt, courteous, and professional service from my initial call to their receptionist, Courtney, to the completion of the job. I give GRS Plumbing my highest recommendation."

"I needed a vent pipe rerouted in my attic, as the original design was not installed to let the water drain. Mike from Tom Drexler called to let me know he was on his way, gave me the estimate before starting work, and explained what he was doing and why. He was very knowledgeable and fixed the pipes quickly and made sure it was working properly before leaving. I was very satisfied with the service. The price was more than I was expecting but I am happy to have this fixed, as it was causing leaks in my kitchen ceiling and I should not have any other issues. I will be requesting Mike for any future plumbing issues."

"The best plumbers ever!! I had a broken pipe and had no idea what to do. I searched for a plumber and found Damman's Plumbing. After talking on the phone I felt relieved knowing the pipe would soon be taken care of. They arrived so quickly and fixed the pipe even faster! It's a family business and they were so nice and professional. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Lexington, KY

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.
