"Douglas and his assistant arrived at promised time (after confirmation phone call) and confirmed the old water heater was leaking and needed to be replaced. They removed leaking unit and replace with a Rheem tank water heater. The work was completed in a timely manner and the old water heater taken. They explained how the water heater worked and how to adjust and maintenance I could perform to assure peak performance. The work quality was excellent and professional."

"I usually do not write reviews for anything unless they really leave an impression on me and I felt obligated to leave a review after what a phenomenal job Jim’s Plumbing Now did on my water heater. The gentleman’s name was Malik from JPN that replaced my water heater located in the attic which we all know is miserably hot!!! I did not hear one complaint or even a sigh of having to work in an attic in this Texas heat but rather he did the job with a smile on his face and had an incredible attitude the whole time. He was professional and had great work ethic and knowledge in the business. I would highly recommend Jim’s Plumbing Now to anyone and will be happily returning as a customer in the future. Thank you for your hard work"

"This guy was extremely nice. He was very helpful. He came in and took care of the water heater pretty quickly. He gave me some pointers on how to keep the water heater better. He cleaned up after himself, something that a previous company never did. He was courteous and treated me with respect. I would recommend him to other people."

"Carlos was hired through a home warranty claim for gas water heater replacement. He was professional, courteous and did a very clean install; no putty all over the place and properly insulated pipes. There was also disconnect between warranty company estimate and actual cost and he adjusted cost accordingly. Tough to find that kind of integrity. He clearly takes pride in his work and highly recommend to anyone looking for plumbing service."

"I highly recommend DilMak Services ! They replaced the entire duct work of a house built in 1957. Another company said it could not be done without cutting through the ceiling since there was only 12â Attic crawl space. They quoted me the price to tear into the ceiling where the ducts would be installed, the price to install along with the price to repair the ceiling. DilMak came to the rescue and made one hole in the ceiling and magically changed all ducts. They were finished in one day and the price was significantly less since they didnâ t have to tear through the ceiling ! They were very respectful and courteous as well! Did I mention I highly recommend them? :) Donâ t waste anymore time looking! Hire DilMak!"

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Universal City, 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.
