"Found Chris on a Sunday as our water heater died while we were on vacation. He called right back and initiated the conversation. He didn't have our specific model in stock, but he was able to get it and he was at our house at 8AM for the installation. Job well done!"

"This is the company you want to handle your plumbing needs. Dylan is an honest, hardworking and ethical business owner. After dealing with companies due to a home warranty issue and finding no success with a water heater install, All-Star plumbing stepped up made sure everything was taken care of for me. His pricing is transparent and straightforward. He literally saved me multiple hundreds of dollars compared to these other companies who put the importance of helping the customer second and squeezing every dime out of you as their first concern. Dylan took the time to listen to what my concerns were, and did not try to upset anything. In fact, I have already started to make arrangements to hire him for a second job to install a water purifier system in my home. Great work. This is a company you want to do business with."

"I've used Raecon Plumbing many times over the years. They are always very knowledgeable, and competitive price wise vs. other companies. Services I've used include water heater replacement , tub and shower remodeling, sewer clogs, drain replacements on sinks and toilets. Other drain lines buried both under my house and in the ground outside. I recommend to my friends and family as I'm a firm believer that once you find someone you can trust you don't need to look elsewhere."

"Mr. Kachurick installed a gas line for a fireplace in my home. He was extremely knowledgable, friendly, and professional. The service he provided was top tier. He made sure I understood everything he would be doing and even showed me how he checked to make sure the gas line wasn’t leaking after installing it. Not only did he provide us with excellent service in terms of the line installation, his expertise also gave me peace of mind, knowing that we were provided with high quality work."

"Timely responses to information. Punctual service. Friendly personality. Professional work. They constructed outside water sewage trap which was a major project involving excavation, camera analysis, reconfiguration of existing pipeline as well as new pipeline assembly; and had the work inspected by a county plumbing inspector for final approval. The work was completed on time, professionally handled and at the exact cost I was quoted. I would highly recommend Brickhaas for any plumbing needs of any kind. This is the 2nd time I have hired this group and they have never disappointed no matter how small or how big the project"

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Pittsburgh, PA

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.
