Rules and utilities worth knowing
In Missouri, water heater work is licensed locally as plumbing work. Replacing a water heater usually needs a permit from the Building Division, since venting, gas lines and relief valves all have to meet code.
What St. Louis housing means for water heater repair
Summers are hot and humid, and winters bring regular freezes. St. Louis treats Mississippi River water at Chain of Rocks and Missouri River water at Howard Bend.
Ameren Missouri and Spire offer a joint program to finance energy upgrades through utility bills. In older buildings, the water heater may sit in a tight basement corner with old venting, which affects what can replace it.
Incoming water is much colder in winter than in summer, so a heater that kept up in July may fall short in January. MSD Project Clear is a $6 billion, 28-year program to improve the region's sewers.
Before the visit
Clear the area around the water heater so the tech can reach the valves and the vent.

Quick answers
Can I relight my own pilot?
Many older gas heaters have relighting instructions on the label. If it will not stay lit, or you smell gas, stop and call for help.
What is the relief valve for?
The temperature and pressure relief valve releases water if the tank gets too hot or pressurized. It should never be capped or plugged.
Do you cover Central West End and Tower Grove South?
Our network reaches Central West End, Tower Grove South, Shaw and The Hill and the rest of St. Louis (63101, 63102, 63103, 63104, 63106 and others). Whether a pro can come depends on their schedule, and we will let you know quickly either way.
How often should a tank be flushed?
Once a year is a common rule of thumb, more often where water is hard. Ask the pro to show you the drain valve so you know where it is.
Keep receipts and notes from the visit. They help if the same problem comes back.

VendorReach is a referral service, not the company that does the work. Your request goes to an independent water heater specialist, and that company decides its own prices and is responsible for its work. It is fine to ask for a written estimate first.
