Question 1

What should I do if I have a major water leak?

Accepted Answer

If you have a major water leak, close the main water inlet valve of the house, which is usually located in the basement or crawl space. Turn it clockwise to close. Then, contact us immediately. We can also help you with various situations like unclogging your toilet, finding and repairing leaks, or replacing your water heater.

Question 2

How long does a water heater typically last?

Accepted Answer

Water heaters have an estimated lifespan of 7 to 10 years. If your water has a brownish color, it indicates rust and the unit should be replaced urgently. Even without visible rust, it's advisable to replace a water heater after 10 years as a preventive measure.
