Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Overview

If you have some basic plumbing experience, you can replace a water heater yourself and save $200 to $400 in plumbers fees. Well show you how to replace a conventional natural gas water heater. The procedure is the same for a propane heater. If you choose a power vented gas model, all the water and gas connections are the same as we show, but the venting steps are different. For more, search for power-vented water heater above. Replacing an electric water heater is a little easier. All the water connections are the same and you dont have to deal with gas piping or venting. For details on situations different from the one we show here (such as electric models, plastic water lines or copper gas lines) search for replace water heater above.

If you have lots of plumbing experience, you might be able to complete this project in half a day. But we recommend you start in the morning so you have plenty of time to get the job done and not leave your family without hot water overnight. Youll need a helper to carry the old unit out and the new one in. Check with your trash hauler or recycling center to find out how to dispose of the old heater.

A new water heater will cost from $250 to $500, depending on the size, efficiency and warranty. The materials youll need for the installation depend on your situation and local codes.

Even if youve worked with plumbing and gas lines in the past, play it safe and contact your local department of inspections. Get a permit (if required), and go over your installation plans with an inspector.

Shut off the gas by turning the handle a quarter turn. In the off position, the handle is perpendicular to the pipe.

Disconnect the gas at the union fitting. Place the larger wrench on the nut and hold the unions collar with another wrench. Start with the wrenches a quarter turn apart.

Cut the cold water line above the old gate valve to make room for a new ball valve. Cut the hot water line at the same height.

To get started, turn off the gas at the valve near the water heater (Photo 1).

If the isolation valve above your water heater is a gate valve (Photo 3), we recommend that you replace it with a ball valve (Photo 4). Be sure to choose a fullport valve. Gate valves often leak or wont close tightly. To replace the valve, youll have to shut off the water at the main valve (usually near the meter). That means your whole house will be without water until you install the new valve. If you already have a ball valve or if you choose to leave the old gate valve in place, you can simply shut it off. That way the rest of the house will have cold water while you work (toilets will still work!).

With the water and gas off, drain the water heater. Attach a garden hose to the drain valve at the bottom of the tank, route it to a floor drain and open the drain valve. To allow air into the hot water lines and speed up the draining process, go to the highest faucet in the house and turn on the hot side only (on single-handle faucets, push the lever all the way to the left).

If your valve doesnt look like this one, see Old gas valves can leak.

Disconnect the gas line at the union (Photo 2). Then disassemble the threaded tee and drip leg and remove the nipple from the water heater gas control valve. Dont throw them awayyoull need them for the new water heater. If your gas line is copper or a flexible supply line, just unscrew the nut.

To disassemble the vent piping, remove the sheet metal screws. Wear gloves; the ends of the metal piping are sharp. You can reuse the vent pipes if theyre in good shape. But if you find even slight holes, cracks or corrosion, toss them into the trash. New pipe is inexpensive and leaks can allow deadly carbon monoxide to build up in your home.

Next, cut the copper water lines with a tubing cutter (Photo 3). If you have copper corrugated water lines, simply disconnect the nuts at the water heater. If you have galvanized steel pipes, disconnect unions just as we did with the gas union shown in Photo 2. Also unscrew the blow tube from the temperature and pressure (T&P) valve. You may be able to reuse it on the new water heater.

At this point, the old heater should have drained enough so it can be moved off to the side (with a helper). If the heater isnt draining fast enough, sediment may be clogging the valve. Allow it to drain as long as possible and then move the heater outside so you can remove the drain valve from the tank.

Reconnect the water. Install new valves first so you can turn on the water to the rest of the house. Then install nipples, followed by threaded fittings and stubs of pipe. Hold the final section in place to mark the length.

Make the final connections with slip couplers. Be sure the coupler doesnt slide down as you heat it.

Set the drain pan into place with the opening facing the floor drain. Get someone to help you lift and set the heater in the pan. If youre replacing the isolation valve, solder on the new ball valve next.

Screw dielectric nipples into the new water heater. These plastic-lined nipples reduce corrosion and increase water heater life. Some water heaters come with dielectric nipples already installed (buy a set if yours doesnt have them). Be sure to coat the threads with pipe thread sealant or wrap with Teflon tape. Next, solder female threaded copper pipe fittings to short lengths of copper tubing and set them aside to cool. Tighten the cooled fittings onto the nipples. Then add short sections of pipe below the valves (Photo 4) and make the final connections with slip couplers (Photo 5). You must use slip couplersstandard stopped couplers wont work. For tips on soldering copper pipe, search for solder above.

Thread a blow tube onto the T&P valve. If the old blow tube is too short, you can use 3/4-in. galvanized steel pipe or copper pipe (along with a male threaded fitting). If you use galvanized pipe, cut off the threads on the bottom to prevent someone from capping off the blow tube if the T&P valve leaks.

Connect the vent pipe to the hood with sheet metal screws. Never use a reducer, even if the hoods opening is smaller than the vent pipe.

Snap the new draft hood onto the water heater and secure it with sheet metal screws. Check the installation manual for the recommended diameter vent pipe for your new heater. If the recommended vent pipe diameter is larger than the vent hood opening, dont install a reducer. Measure a straight section of new galvanized vent pipe to rise as high as possible before you install the adjustable elbow (the higher the rise, the better the draft). On any horizontal sections of vent, make sure the pipe slopes down toward the water heater 1/4 in. per foot of pipe. Bend out small sections of the pipe and attach it directly to the vent hood with screws (Photo 6). Then continue installing new vent pipe sections and connect to the flue. Most plumbing codes require a minimum of three screws for each vent pipe joint. For tips on cutting metal venting, search sheet metal above.

Reconnect the gas. Hold back the control valve to avoid damaging it. Then screw the drip leg into the tee.

Measure between the union and the tee and add 1 in. to determine the correct nipple length.

Test for leaks by brushing soapy water onto every connection. If you see bubbles, tighten or reconnect the joint.

Apply gas-rated pipe thread sealant or tape (dont use standard white Teflon tape) to the gas nipple and thread it into the new gas control valve. Tighten the nipple using two pipe wrenches (Photo 7). Assemble the tee and drip leg using the same two-wrench technique.

If the old section of pipe below the union no longer fits, youll need to measure for a new nipple (Photo 8). Make sure you assemble and tighten the gas union before you measure the length for the intermediate nipple. Add 3/4 in. to 1 in. to this measurement and buy a new nipple. When the gas connections are complete, turn on the gas and check for leaks (Photo 9). You can buy leak detector in a convenient spray bottle ($3) or mix your own solution (one part dish detergent, two parts water).

Open the water valves and an upstairs faucet and fill the tank. Leave the faucet open until water flows out. Then shut it off and check the new water connections for leaks. Open the gas valve and light the pilot light following the manufacturers instructions. Youre in for a pleasant surprise with your new water heatermanufacturers have done away with the old match-lit pilot system. Instead of igniting the pilot with a match or lighter, you just push a button.

When the burner fires up, test for backdrafting, which can allow deadly carbon monoxide into your home. Close all doors and windows and turn on kitchen and bath exhaust fans. When the burner has been running for at least one minute, move an incense stick around the draft hood. The smoke should be drawn up into the vent. If not, the exhaust may be entering your home. Turn off the gas and call in a professional plumber.

Finally, set the thermostat to a safe temperature. (For help, search for water heater temperature above.) In about two hours, youll have enough hot water for a well-deserved long shower.

The grease-pack valves found in older homes tend to leak as they age. Even if your local code doesnt require replacement, we recommend you install a ball-type gas valve instead ($10). Replacement isnt difficult; you just unscrew the old valve and screw on the new one. But you will have to turn off the main gas valve and later relight pilot lights. If you dont know how to handle these tasks, call in a professional plumber and expect to pay $80 to $150.

Youll find lots of accessories for your new water heater at the home center. Some are required by local codes; others are just good ideas. Plumbing codes vary, so check with your local inspector.

1. Gas shutoff valveAll codes require a gas valve near the water heater. If you have a grease-pack valve, see Old Gas Valves Can Leak section above.

2. Earthquake strapsThese straps prevent a water heater from tipping over and are required in earthquake-prone areas. $12 per pair.

3. Flexible gas lineA flexible gas line can withstand movement and is usually required in earthquake-prone areas. Theyre easier to connect than steel pipe, but theyre not allowed everywhere, so check with your inspector. $15.

4. Drip legAny dust or grit in the gas line falls into this short section of pipe before it can reach the water heaters control valve. The required length of the drip leg varies.

5. Isolation valveAll codes require a valve on the cold water line. Though not required by codes, a second valve on the hot line makes future water heater replacement easier. $10 each.

6. Flexible water linesThese flexible lines withstand movement and are required in earthquake zones. But you may want to use them just because theyre easy to install. $20 per pair.

7. Overflow panMost plumbing codes require a pan and drain pipe in locations where a leak can cause damage. But installing a drain pan is a good idea for any location. $18.

8. Expansion tankSome codes require an expansion tank to absorb the pressure created when heated water expands. $35.

9. Blow tubeThe T&P valve releases pressure, and a blow tube directs the scalding hot water toward the floor. The required distance between the blow tube and floor is usually 18 in. or less.

New Jersey building codes require a bonding wire be installed between the cold/hot pipes and the gas line. The majority of local codes dont require the bonding wires but they do serve a purpose. According to the experts we spoke with, bonding wires may actually extend the life of the water heater by diverting electrolysis from the anode rod and tankeven on electric models. So whether or not your local code calls for the bonding wire, you may want to install one to get more life out of your water heater. This little project is brain-dead simple. It only costs about $10 and takes about 10 minutes.

Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you startyoull save time and frustration.

Even the cleanest homes have the potential for mold. Residential building structures have many areas that offer prime environments for mold to grow. Basements, bathrooms, utility rooms, laundry equipment and kitchens are some of the areas where black mold is often found. Homeowners can take proactive steps to drastically limit mold grown, but unfortunately, its literally impossible to eradicate all together.

Tips for preventing mold growth:

Ventilate

Basements especially should have a ventilation system in place. This can help to bring fresh air in and push water vapor out. Homes that are not equipped with windows should use a dehumidifier or circulation fan.

Fix foundation cracks

The smallest crack or leak can provide a perfect habitat for mold growth. Window frames, doors and corner locations of the foundation can be sealed using a water proof chalk. This is a service that should be performed at the beginning of rainy seasons.

Keep stored items organized

When storing personal belongings or furniture, it is best not to pile items on top of each other. This can cause moisture to get trapped, and it prevents air circulation.

Try baking soda

Baking Soda helps to absorb moisture. By placing a box of baking soda under kitchen and bathroom cabinets and in the refrigerator, it will prevent moisture from forming and creating an ideal habitat for mold growth.

Keep HVAC systems free of mold

Air ducts, heating systems, air conditioning systems and filters should all be cleaned and changed regularly. This will prevent mold from growing and spreading throughout the home. Mold growth in air ducts and HVAC systems allows smells and mold spores to travel quickly throughout a home. Seek the help of a professional HVAC technician or air duct cleaner if you suspect mold or notice mold symptoms in these areas.

Though the Seattle landscape is most well known by outsiders for the Space Needle, and most celebrated by natives for its beautiful place among the water and mountains that surround the city on all sides, the city wouldn't be nearly as beautiful without the trees that adorn both the city proper and the outlying areas. Seattle homes, too, frequently use trees for landscaping and curb appeal. In fact, a few well-placed trees are among the more underestimated factors when it comes to the property value of your home. Well-maintained trees are one of your home's greatest assets, and cannot be simply replaced in a week or even a month.

Other trees, however, can be a nuisance. It may also be necessary to remove ailing or diseased trees before they become an even larger problem. Whatever your Seattle tree service needs, HomeAdvisor can help you find the right contractor for the job. We've recently helped homeowners in Bellevue, Kirkland, Issaquah, Renton, and throughout the greater Seattle area.

Tree Service CompaniesIn and around Seattle, tree service is hardly hard to find. However, some Seattle tree service companies are better than others. There are basically two different kinds of companies who deal with trees: those who have a certified arborist on staff and those who don't. Arborists must go through specific training and pass exams to prove their knowledge of trees before they can be certified. When your tree is being attacked by insects, disease, fungus, or any of a host of other damaging elements, a certified arborist will know the best way to combat the problem.

It is likely that you will find both certified arborists and non-certified tree trimmers in just about any area in or around Seattle. Tree service is not always difficult, and if you simply want a particular branch removed or want your tree "topped" so it doesn't interfere with power-lines, who you hire becomes less important than how much it will cost you. On the other hand, Seattle tree service companies who will send an arborist rather than a trimmer to your home are definitely the way to go when your tree problem goes beyond offending limbs. Though such companies may charge more for their services, that little extra could mean the difference between saving and killing a tree that has stood for generations.

Removal Permits and the Seattle GovernmentIn some cases, who you hire for Seattle tree service is not even up to you! Where you are located within the greater Seattle area will play a role, as will the size, placement, and species of tree. If you have a tree that is designated as a "heritage" tree, you may, in fact, not be allowed to remove it from your property. If you have an emergency situation involving fallen tree limbs blocking your sidewalk, street, or alleyway, for example, you need to talk to Seattle Street Maintenance. Trees growing into overhead power lines are serviced by Seattle City Lights Vegetation Management. The list of issues and the departments you should contact goes on, but when a tree problem arises, the Seattle Department of Transportation is a good starting place, as they can direct you to a number of different governing agencies.

Other Tree ServicesOther than tree removal, tree trimming, stump removal, and treating a damaged tree are among the other common Seattle tree services. Tree trimming can mean a number of different things, depending on the size and type of tree you have. Large trees can require some fairly heavy-duty equipment to do right, and professional contractors will have this equipment along with the knowledge about specifically where, how, and to what extent to trim your trees. Many homeowners are surprised by just how much a professional will trim, but are pleasantly surprised by new growth that ensues in a matter of weeks. If you're unsure about your tree or the services you need, a number of different local contractors can give you invaluable advice that will ensure the continued well being of this landscaping asset.

Cost of Tree Service and Tree TrimmingThe nature of your tree services will also determine the cost. Basic tree trimming services will generally run a few hundred dollars or less. Comprehensive tree removal will cost more along the lines of a thousand dollars, give or take, depending on the size and placement of the tree. Tree trimming is often farmed out by homeowners who don't have the time, the equipment, or the expertise for the project. Tree removal, however, should not attempted by anyone except a professional. Before you settle on a final cost, be sure to determine whether or not the estimate includes hauling away any excess limbs and debris.
