"On Friday evening I contacted Anchor Plumbing and talked to Danny about getting out new sink installed, made an appointment for Monday for him to come out and give me an estimate and if I okayed that they would install it, and that is what happened. He was right on time, did exactly what he said, and with Carlos, they carried out the extremely heavy old sink, but didn’t mention anything about how heavy it was. (I knew because my brother told me). The new sink is installed and everything works great and looks great. I couldn’t be more pleased. Also they were very pleasant, polite."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Salem, OR

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.
