Installed new elements and thermostats in existing 8 year Bradford white electric water heater, heater is working it should at this time with no issues. The bottom element is still at the bottom of the heater because it was severely corroded and broke off when I attempted to pull the element out. The water in this home is VERY VERY hard. Vern’s plumbing cannot guarantee how long this repair will last and will NOT be responsible for any future issues. If this issue occurs again in the near future we will have to replace the entire unit. Emailed copy of invoice and estimates to homeowners email.
