"Saved by Ehrhardt Brothers Quality Plumbing (a.k.a ColumbiaPlumber)! (West of Baltimore) Our gas water-heater failed! It’s 30° outside! (Mar 2026). It was leaking, so we shut off the gas, the pilot, and the water inlet, to lessen damage if it burst. Ehrhardt offered a price based on our descriptions and photos, of course with caveats for anything unexpected. A water-heater costs a pretty-penny, but less than we expected. A fair price. They came the next morning, and had the water heater replaced in 90min. Impressive. But the manufacturer sent a unit with a bad pilot! Ehrhardt returned immediately and in 30min, they figured it out. They had a replacement part over-nighted. The next morning, in 30min, done. Hot water. AAAAAHHH :-) The problem was the manufacturer’s fault, and Ehrhardt handled it flawlessly: Excellent communication by Ehrhardt, priority attention to our problem, no excuses, just fast resolution. Great service staff. Perfect! "

"I called several companies to price the installation of a water heater and chose Modern Plumbing not only because the price quoted was very competitive but because Brian, the owner, gave me frank and sensible advice on what type of water heater was best for my particular situation. We ultimately decided to install a standard tank water heater, rather than rolls our tankless unit, given the high cost and complexity of work needed to properly install another tankless unit. Brian also provided several references for me to check, so that I would better understand my options. Brian and his helpers were prompt on their arrival time, took care to ensure that our hardwood floors were protected during the work, and explained the work that had been done. Brian and his team were courteous and friendly throughout the job. I highly recommend this company."

"Well let me start by saying I called several water heater companies to inquire about an estimate for my hot water heater that was not getting real hot. He was the ONLY repair person to come out that gave me the feeling he was trying to fix my hot water heater and not trying to sale me a new hot water. I never had a hot water heater water heater issue before therefore i was not familar with pontential problems. Everbody tried to get me to buy something called elements without actually trying to fix my heater. Wallace plumbing was able to identify some pressure thing or something with the thermostat that he fixed and saved me pontially thousands of dollars that other companies tried to sales pitch me. I then called Wallace plumbing because my toliet kept running and Wallace came out and fixed my toliet in minutes and his prices are very affordable. I will be using Wallace plumbing for any future needs and I recommend them!"

"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."

Great coordination and teamwork from their entire team. We would not hesitate to use this company again!"

"Worker arrived in a timely manner responding to a late-night call (~10pm); properly assessed the situation; was professional in his demeanor and approach to the work; provided a temporary fix for the night; scheduled to return the next day to complete the job; also offered sound advice to fix a likely future problem, which he did the next day. Only less than satisfactory issue was pricing. It cost $650 for two hours of labor and parts to repair the damage and install some new pipe. They are a 24-hour service, so that may increase the price, and I don't know what a competitor would have charged for the same service, but they did a good job and I would use them again. Plumbing repair just costs a lot, apparently."

"Pohlman responded quickly when my water heater leaked and quickly replaced it at a competitive rate. I asked for multiple quotes and they were one of the first to respond. I appreciate the work, although I would have preferred to know which water heater was being installed before they put it in."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Odenton, MD

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.
