"Hunter and Sean are the real deal! My water heater crapped out suddenly on New Year’s Eve. I went to Angi and filled out the info and less than 10 minutes later, Hunter calls me! Told me he’d be out the next day….new year’s day!! Showed up when he said he would, diagnosed the issue quoted me a price and said he’d be there “tomorrow morning”. Showed up, just like he said he would for the price he quoted. Everything went well, and I wholly recommend Foothills Plumbing."

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

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.
