July 2026
A Knightdale homeowner requested a free whole home plumbing system check and also wanted a quote for water heater replacement.
Nick found the 40 gallon natural gas standard vent water heater in the storage closet at the back of the home to be 11 years old and leaking, and in need of replacement. He showed the homeowner's wife the unit and prepared an email estimate for replacement. The homeowner plans to sign the estimate once he can get to his email, so the installation can be scheduled when he calls.

A Knightdale homeowner reported that the 40 gallon electric water heater in the garage was leaking from the base and needed replacement.
The 40 gallon electric water heater in the garage was leaking from the base. Nick provided an estimate, and the homeowner approved the work the same day. He replaced the 40 gallon electric water heater with a new unit, and added a new expansion tank, insulation, and TNP. The water heater manufacturer warranty is six years and the Element Service Group warranty is one year.
Nick reported that everything went great and the new water heater was functioning properly.

The home warranty plan (AHS) suspected the unit was leaking because it was low on refrigerant and the unit's age and condition were a concern, so the homeowner had the system checked before any replacement was considered.
Leak search found a leak at the indoor coil. Aaron, Tay, Dexter, and Mario performed the leak search on the Knightdale home's system, which had been found low on refrigerant during a tune up.
Tech was very friendly and on time. Job was done neatly and very professional. Very satisfied. Price was reasonable in today's economy. Plan to use Element for future needs.

Plumbing emergencies strike without warning. Learn the 7 critical steps to take immediately to minimize damage and protect your home while waiting for professional help.
Read articleKnightdale homes built between 2000-2012 in subdivisions like Planters Walk and Poplar Creek Estates often have original tank water heaters approaching or exceeding their 10-12 year lifespan, increasing the risk of leaks and failures.
Knightdale receives water from the City of Raleigh system, which has moderate mineral content that causes gradual buildup in pipes, water heaters, and fixtures, reducing efficiency and shortening equipment life.
Some newer Knightdale homes built on slab foundations can develop pinhole leaks in copper supply lines, especially where soil conditions cause settling.
A small number of older Knightdale properties may still have polybutylene piping, which is prone to deterioration and failure, potentially requiring a full repipe.

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Knightdale.
The most common issues we see in Knightdale are water heater failures in homes over 10 years old, slow drains from mineral buildup, and running toilets. Older homes in Poplar Creek Estates may also have aging supply line connections that develop slow leaks.
Tankless water heaters work well for many Knightdale homes, providing endless hot water and lasting 20+ years versus 10-12 for tank models. They are especially beneficial in larger homes in Widewaters and Mingo Creek where demand for hot water is higher.
Knightdale water from the Raleigh system has moderate mineral content. While not severely hard, the mineral buildup over 10-15 years can reduce water heater efficiency and cause fixture staining. A water softener or conditioning system can help protect your plumbing and appliances.
A standard 50-gallon tank water heater replacement in Knightdale costs $1,200-$2,000. Tankless units range from $2,500-$4,500 installed. We offer same-day water heater replacement when available and provide upfront pricing before any work begins.
