Gas Water Heater Code Compliance in Charleston, WV
Any repair involving gas appliances must meet strict local and state plumbing codes.

Pilot Light Repair in Charleston
A pilot that will not light or will not stay lit is the most frequent gas water heater call. Causes include a worn thermocouple, a clogged pilot orifice, a bad piezo igniter or a tripped thermal cutoff. We test the thermocouple output with a meter and clean or replace the pilot assembly. Most pilot repairs are finished in about an hour.
Burner Assembly and Venting System Repair in Charleston
A worn burner assembly can result in insufficient heating or unusual noises. We closely inspect the burner for blockages, corrosion or wear. We also check the venting system for proper draft and obstructions, which is essential for safe operation and preventing carbon monoxide buildup in your Charleston home. Proper venting is a critical safety consideration.
Venting and Draft Repair in Charleston, WV
Atmospheric gas water heaters rely on a properly sloped metal flue to carry exhaust out of the home. Disconnected sections, rusted draft hoods and poor slope can let combustion gases spill back. We repair or replace vent sections and confirm draft with a test. Proper venting is critical for your family's safety.
Gas Control Valve Replacement in Charleston, WV
The gas control valve controls temperature and shuts off gas if the pilot goes out. Newer valves from Honeywell and White-Rodgers use status lights that blink codes when something goes wrong. If the valve itself has failed, we replace it with an exact match or listed universal model. We leak test and verify temperature control afterward.
Gas Water Heater Repair Cost in Charleston, WV
Thermocouple and pilot repairs typically cost $150 to $350. Gas control valve replacement often runs $350 to $700, and power vent blower repairs can range from $400 to $800. A new gas tank installed typically costs $1,600 to $3,000 depending on size and venting. We help you decide based on tank age and condition.
