"Wicked Plumbing was very responsive in comparison to other plumbers I had called during a weekend emergency. Water was at the inch or so level in a three inch drip pan (with no overflow drain) for a leaking electric water heater. Nick was great to deal with and had the job completed in a short time period. Replace your water heater before this happens. It was a ten year old water heater (second floor condo). It could have been a disaster if someone wasn't around. Highly recommend!!"

"My water heater died (leaked) late Wednesday nite. Thursday I called numerous plumbers-left messages, Burke's called back and by Friday afternoon I had a new water heater installed. I am in a mobile home and some plumbers said they don't service mobile homes."

"Blanchard Plumbing Services could not have been any better to do business with. They are an awesome company! They came out same day to check my old water heater because it was leaking. Told me right away that they would have another water heater in place the next day. Gave me a totally reasonable quote I didn’t hesitate at all. They were here at 8:00am by 3:00PM (one glitch because it was installed in my mobile home the first water heater didn’t fit it was to wide) but no problem they got another new water heater within an hour to my home now my new water heater is installed and working exactly like they said they would. I could not say enough about how professional all the plumbers I talked to were!! I would have Blanchard Plumbing Services, Inc come back for any future plumbing work I need to be done and I would recommend them 100%. Denise Plouffe"

"Henri Emery provided excellent work, clear communications and a very reasonable price for my recent water heater replacement and associated plumbing work. He was very prompt and responsive, explained his observations and recommendations, and completed the work quickly and with a high degree of professionalism. Throughout the work, he checked in often to make sure that I was comfortable and had a thorough understanding of his work. His pricing represented a saving compared to other vendor quotes for the scope of the project, and he didn't engage in any upsetting. I highly recommend Emery Plumbing."

"I appreciated being able to speak with someone in the office to explain my situation (leaking water heater), and having someone come to my home so quickly to go over my options for dealing with the problem. Dylan, Aaron and the entire crew were so professional and knowledgeable about the on-demand hot water system we chose to install. They were a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend them to friends in need of similar services."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in New Bedford, MA

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.
