Pride Plumbing was called out for a water leak at a 30-gallon electric Whirlpool MHE2F30HS035V water heater. We found a leak on a copper water supply line. After shutting off the water, we cut out the leaking section of pipe and repaired it with new PEX piping and fittings. We then cut the water back on, drained out any debris at an outside hose bib spigot, and tested for leaks with no further issues. We also provided a cost estimate to replace the water heater with a new 40-gallon electric model. This would include removing and disposing of the old water heater; installing the new water heater, ball water shut-off valves, PEX and stainless steel water supply lines to the water heater's water connections, a brass drain valve, connecting the unit’s electrical connections (adding a Romex connector), bleeding the air out of the water lines, ensuring that the unit is properly vented, and setting it to its appropriate operating temperature.
