Water Heater Leak in Knightdale Garage
The Problem
A Knightdale homeowner discovered their 40-gallon electric water heater was leaking from the base in the garage.
What We Found
Nick found that the water heater was leaking due to a failure at the base, indicating it needed replacement.
The Fix
Nick replaced the faulty 40-gallon electric water heater with a new model, complete with an expansion tank and insulation. He ensured everything was properly installed and provided a six-year manufacturer warranty along with a one-year service warranty.
The Result
The new water heater was functioning properly, providing reliable hot water to the home.
Pro Tip
A leaking water heater often signals the need for replacement. If you notice water pooling around the base, it's time to consider a new unit to prevent further damage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heater Installation in Knightdale
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Knightdale
How long does a water heater installation take?
A standard tank-to-tank replacement typically takes 2 to 3 hours. If we need to upgrade the gas line, modify venting, or switch from electric to gas (or vice versa), the project may take 4 to 6 hours. We provide a time estimate before starting.
Should I get a gas or electric water heater?
It depends on your home's utility infrastructure and your priorities. Gas heaters have faster recovery rates and lower operating costs in most Triangle-area rate structures. Electric models are simpler to install and maintain. Hybrid heat pump electrics offer the lowest operating costs overall but need space and ambient warmth to perform optimally.
What size water heater does my family need?
For a household of 2 to 3 people, a 40-gallon tank is typically sufficient. Families of 4 to 5 should consider 50 gallons, and larger households may need 65 to 80 gallons or a tankless system. We base our recommendation on fixture count and peak usage patterns, not just family size.
Do I need an expansion tank with my new water heater?
Yes. North Carolina plumbing code requires a thermal expansion tank on any closed plumbing system — which includes most homes with a backflow preventer or pressure-reducing valve on the main water line. We include expansion tank installation as a standard part of every water heater replacement.
