What the customer called about
A homeowner in Catoosa, ZIP code 74015, wanted us to replace a 10-year-old, 50-gallon gas water heater in the garage. They also wanted a water sensor and automatic shutoff to help protect against water damage.
The kitchen faucet needed attention too. The homeowner had purchased a replacement sprayer head and hose for us to install.
What our plumber found
We had an existing tank in a narrow garage enclosure, with water connections and vent piping above it. The replacement called for another 50-gallon gas tank, along with a drain pan, expansion tank and automatic water shutoff.
How we fixed it
We removed the old heater and installed the new 50-gallon gas water heater with new supply connections, a drain pan and an expansion tank. We added the water shutoff above the tank, with a moisture sensor routed to the pan and an accessible wall-mounted control box.
In the kitchen, we disconnected the old faucet hose and installed the homeowner-supplied hose and sprayer head. We turned the faucet on and tested it for proper operation.
What this means for your home
A water heater replacement is a good time to discuss leak protection, not just tank size. On this job, we paired the new tank with a pan sensor and automatic shutoff. If you supply faucet repair parts yourself, have us check operation after installation, just as we did here.
