A homeowner in Spokane Valley contacted us after discovering their water heater had started leaking. Water heater leaks are often an early warning sign of a more serious problem, and in this case inspection revealed that the tank had ruptured.
Once a water heater tank fails, replacement is typically the safest solution. A ruptured tank can allow water to escape continuously, which may lead to flooding and property damage if it is not addressed quickly.
Removing the Failed Water Heater
After confirming the problem, the leaking unit was removed so a new system could be installed. Tank failures can occur due to age, internal corrosion, or pressure issues inside the water heater. Once the tank itself is compromised, repair is usually not possible.
Our team removed the damaged unit and prepared the area for the installation of a replacement system that would provide reliable hot water for the home.
Installing a New Bradford White Water Heater
The new system installed was a Bradford White 50 gallon natural gas water heater. Bradford White units are well known for their durability and performance when installed correctly.
In addition to the new water heater, a thermal expansion tank was installed to help manage pressure within the plumbing system. Expansion tanks help protect plumbing fixtures and appliances by accommodating pressure changes that occur as water heats.
Professional Water Heater Installation
Proper installation is important for safety, efficiency, and long-term reliability. Our water heater services include installation, replacement, and maintenance of both traditional and tankless systems.
This project was completed at a home in Spokane Valley, where we regularly provide plumbing services for homeowners throughout the area. You can learn more about the services we offer locally on our Spokane Valley plumbing page.
