"I had to replace a water heater quickly. Gave me a competitive quote with a water heater with desirable specs within a day and scheduled me the day after. Technician was knowledgeable and efficiently performed the work. Water heater performs just fine. Cleaned up workspace and took a few mins to walk through water heater and maintenance after."

"My actual problem was my well not providing water after a power outage. I think my previous review describes my experience. Iâ m not sure why you are requesting another review? The experience of using this app is worse than having the problem itself, due to the constant inundation of emails and texts even though Iâ ve hired someone and marked the job completed!"

"Thank you so much for excellent service. Osman was prompt, professional, and clearly explained what needed to be done. I called Saturday morning, by early afternoon the problem was fixed.

"I called Plumb Magic primarily to see if my hot water heater could be repaired.  I made an appointment between 1 and 3.  I received a call from the company about 2:10 stating that they would be down before 3:00.  They diagnosed the hot water heater problem and told me that it had to be replaced. They also diagnosed the pressure tank problem.  I set up an appointment for the pressure tank for Saturday morning. I was trying to hold out for the hot water heater in order to claim it on my insurance.  Before leaving on Friday, the technician stated that if I changed my mind concerning the water heater, to please call and he emphasized that the price would be the same.  The next morning I turned on the water and the hot water heater, but had no hot water.  This was about 8:00 AM.  I knew the technician would be leaving soon.  I called and left a message that I also wanted the hot water heater.  I got a call back within 15 minutes  and he said that he would pick it up and bring it with him.  He arrived about 0930.  He replaced everything including the hot water heater and pipes connecting pipes the water heater plus other pipes.  He added cutoff switches to the pipes going into and out of the hot water tanks, in case I ever needed to bypass the heater; I am on a well.  He replaced the regulator switch for the pressure tank, ensured all joints were sealed and not leaking, and the tank was producing hot water and left within two hours.  He added that if I ran into any problems, to please call day or night.  I was very pleased with the service and the price charged, and will not hesitate to call in the future,

"jLarry was prompt, responsive, professional, and honest. We had to replace our 16 year-old water heater. He had a preferred brand that would have been easier for him to acquire, but was honest and flexible when we decided to go with another brand we thought was a better choice based on our own research. He was able to get the water heater we wanted with only a few days' notice.  He was also honest with us about what would/wouldn't be possible for him to do, even though it meant the job would be less lucrative for him. We were considering replacing the diverter cartridge in one of our showers which had begun to leak hot water from the bathtub faucet when the shower was running. He was up front with us right away that he couldn't do the job without embarking on an expensive rebuild of the valve & fixture (the screw to access the diverter cartridge was completely rusted and wouldn't budge -- its been in place since the late 70s when the house was built). We would definitely use his services again.

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Montross, VA

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.
