"EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE Eddie visited our house the very day we called about our water heater. He came out, inspected the very tough location where the water heater is located and delivered an estimate with 3 options on the spot. We decided which direction to go and let Eddie know at which time he promptly scheduled our installation. On the day of install he arrived when he said he would, put down every type of floor protection you can imagine and proceeded the very difficult task of manipulating a 50 gallon water heater out of a small closet 10 feet up in the air. He worked with his partner to remove the old one, replumbed and installed the new one, again in a very tight space. Eddie ran all new venting to the outside, added electronic monitoring, and crawled under the house several times to make certain the drains were all functioning properly. We could not ask for better service and the attention to detail was amazing. This is our second experience with Excalibur Plumbing and they have both been wonderful experiences. Great customer service!!!!"

"On 10/27/2027, I had to find a plumber to repair my water heater that had stopped heating water. I went online to Angi?s website and received 3 different plumbing companies in the Austin, TX area. One of the companies was 5-Mile Plumbing Co. The owner of the company, Elvis Bernal, contacted me. We discussed the issue with the water heater. Mr. Bernal gave me his assessment and provided me with a bid proposal on the cost of the repair. Mr. Bernal came to our house the next day and immediately started work on the water heater. I watched Mr. Bernal from a distance and asked questions regarding the procedure. Mr. Bernal went out of his way to answer my questions. During his work, Mr. Bernal also saw something else that needed replacement on the water heater and immediately left the house to go purchase the part. Mr. Bernal replaced the part, continued the repair and verified one of the heating elements had gone out. A new heating element was installed and Mr. Bernal ?bled? the"

"I was disappointed that he arrived late because as he said "he forgot". If he is tech savvy enough to use Apple Pay (which was really great firme) the one would think he should be able to set reminders for his appointments so he doesn't forget. I now seem to be having issues with my water heater and I'm vacillating about calling him again?"

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in San Marcos, TX

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.
