"I had my hot water heater fail on me on a weekend. He came out on a Sunday afternoon and replaced my hot water heater without any problems. He was friendly, professional, and efficient. I could not ask for more. This was the most painless water heater replacement I have ever had. I highly recommend his service"

"We had our sewer line spot repaired due to root encroachment. This is an expensive repair, no matter what company you use. They gave us a competitive bid, got us on the schedule, and did the work as promised (showed up when agreed upon, left the area cleaned up, and sent us a photo/video of the work done)."

"Mountain View plumbing came out to look at my water heater that was leaking, they found that the water flexes were both bad and the water heater nipples were rusted and leaking as well. They gave me a estimate for a brand new 50 gallon gas water heater with all needed accessories and a thermal expansion tank for half of the price of the other three plumbing companies that quoted me for the same product and work. The customer service this company provided makes me feel safe and comfortable calling a professional for any plumbing needs in the future."

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.
