What the customer called about
At this home in Sapulpa, ZIP code 74066, we needed to replace a leaking gas water heater. The existing 30-gallon tank was 16 years old and leaking internally.
What our plumber found
We found the old heater in a narrow closet with a shelf above it. The shelf could be lifted out to give our crew access for the replacement.
How we fixed it
We replaced the old 30-gallon heater with a new 40-gallon gas water heater in the same closet. Our installation included new flexible water connections, a water shutoff valve, water hammer arrestors, a drain pan and a gas flex connector with a drip leg.
What this means for your home
A water heater replacement involves more than the tank itself. We also need room to reach the water, gas and vent connections. If your heater sits beneath a closet shelf, knowing whether that shelf is removable can help us plan access.
