Customers say: Quality work

"Joe, came to my home to because I had no water. We had agreed upon 8:00 am he text and said he would be there by 7:30. When he arrived I showed him the garage where the house equipment was located. The first thing he noticed was that the water tank switch was installed incorrectly (the switch has been there for 27 years) I had the home built. Then he notice something not up to code. Showed him the well pump and he assess the pump. Joe then tells me my pump failed and would need to be replaced. The price would be 3,500 for the pump and 800.00 to replace the electrical components inside the well. I kindly paid him the $60.00 service fee and said good bye. The next company came at 10:00 am and replaced my pump in about 40 minutes and saved me over $2,000.00! This company stated my wiring was good and everything was fine inside the garage. Folks do your research- if something does not seem right it?s NOT! He left my breaker switch off and turned my range off breaker off!"

"Erik provided absolutely stellar service. He was always prompt, professional, respectful and absolutely knowledgeable about his field. He also came quickly for a semi-emergency, with a better response than any service worker I have ever encountered. I was very fortunate to have him recommended to me, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. Definitely hire Erik!"

"This was my first time using Angi's list. I'm so glad I ended up with CLX Plumbing fulfilling my service request to install a water heater. The service provider was extremely responsive. He was able to answer all of my questions. Once he came out, he worked so efficiently that I didn't even realize he'd finished up the job in such a timely manner. The technician was very knowledgeable and professional. I would definitely use CLX's services again."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Richmond, 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.
