"We were very happy with Eckhart Plumbing! They went above and beyond to find a uniquely sized water heater for our very unique space, and they did it quickly, with great care, and under budget! 10/10 will call again for future plumbing needs."

"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)."

"We have a very small space for our water heater. He was able to get us the water heater, install, and all in one day! No other company could, or would beat his price. No other company was willing to do it as fast. He also gave me a quote over the phone. He found a water heater that would fit, but it was $300 more than the original quote. He kept to his word, and charged what he quoted me. AMAGING."

"What a forgettable experience. And that’s a good thing! I needed a new water heater. I called. They supplied a bid. I was away from my home when the work was done. When I got home there was a splendid new water heater installed perfectly, and no other evidence that anyone had been there at all. How could it be better?"

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.
