A customer from Hayward reached out to us with a request to replace a leaking water heater. The estimate was prepared based on the photo of the old water heater provided by the customer. As always, we recommended replacing it with a Bradford White water heater due to its proven reliability.
Just one hour after the price was agreed upon, we were on-site and ready to start the job. Upon closer inspection, we identified the cause of the leak: a poorly connected water connector. Over time, this small issue had led to the water heater tank rusting at the top and eventually causing a significant leak. It appeared that this slow leak had been going on for several years, gradually causing more and more damage.
In just under two hours of work, we successfully replaced the old water heater with a new one. Additionally, we took care of replacing the water shutoff valve and installed an expansion tank to ensure the new system would function efficiently and safely for years to come.
If you notice any signs of a leak or corrosion on your water heater, it’s essential to address the issue as soon as possible. Even a small, slow leak can cause significant damage over time, as it did in this case. Ignoring these problems can lead to a complete system failure and even potential flooding in your home.
We recommend regular inspections of your water heater connections and components. If your water heater is more than 10 years old or shows signs of wear, it may be time to consider replacing it with a more reliable, energy-efficient model like a Bradford White.
