"Matt and his employee did a great job for us.  They were polite, professional, and easy to communicate with.  We had originally tried to schedule our install through the big box store where we bought the items but used Matt instead since a plumber was required to change out the under-the-sink valves.  Matt even agreed to take away our old sink and dishwasher, and we appreciated that.  We would absolutely hire him again.   "

"I called Pipesmith (Kent) on a day when the temperature suddenly dropped to 12 degrees and the water supply to our house stopped. I suspected a frozen pipe somewhere and called Kent. Driving conditions were potentially dangerous, but Kent agreed to come and investigate our situation. He quickly identified the issue (a pipe exposed by the neighboring construction) and defrosted it. We had water back on within an hour of his arrival on a day when the other plumbing companies I called refused to come out due to poor driving conditions. I commend Kents dedication to fixing our problem and will use him in the future."

"I hired Big Vals to check out a chemical smell coming from my bathroom. They found that my shower floor tile grout was leaking water into my sub floor, which had dry rot. While Big Vals didn't do the type of restoration work I needed, they put me in contact with a company that does. The other company was out to look at it and give me a repair estimate the next day."

"Wanted to charge me 600$ just to replace a shower faucet cartridge. So I paid the 100$ appointment fee and had them tell me the part number so i could order it off amazon for 30$ and replace it myself. I already did the disassembly of the faucet myself and they still wanted to charge me 600$ for 10 min replacement"

"Wyatt was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to work with. His estimates were very reasonable compared to other quotes we received, and he took the time to explain our options clearly. He made honest, practical recommendations on plumbing fixtures that helped us avoid unnecessary costs while still getting quality results. We really appreciated his transparency and expertise. Travis arrived on time to fix our plumbing issues and install a water filtration system. He completed the work efficiently without rushing and was very careful with the fixtures. After installing the water filter, he clearly explained the next steps for proper usage and what to watch for to identify any potential issues. He encouraged us to reach out if anything came up and assured us he would come back promptly if needed. His attention to detail, professionalism, and willingness to help really stood out. Highly recommend this team for reliable, professional, and trustworthy plumbing services."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Vancouver, WA

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.
