Routine water heater inspections are crucial for preventing costly repairs, maintaining energy efficiency, and ensuring the longevity of your system. A well-maintained water heater operates more efficiently, which can lead to lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint—a key consideration for eco-conscious homeowners in Bend. Inspections help identify early signs of wear or malfunction, allowing you to address minor issues before they turn into major problems that require expensive repairs or even full replacement. Additionally, regular inspections enhance safety by ensuring all components, such as the pressure relief valve, are functioning properly, which helps to prevent hazardous situations like overheating or tank explosions. At ALL-WAYS PLUMBING in Bend, we stress the importance of annual water heater inspections to keep your system in peak condition, helping you avoid the inconvenience and expense of unexpected failures.
Knowing when to schedule a water heater inspection can save you from dealing with sudden disruptions and costly repairs. Common signs that it’s time for an inspection include fluctuating water temperatures, strange noises like banging or popping sounds coming from the tank, visible rust or corrosion around the heater, and small leaks near the base. These issues often indicate underlying problems, such as sediment buildup, worn-out heating elements, or internal corrosion, which can lead to decreased efficiency and increased energy costs. By addressing these warning signs early with a professional inspection from ALL-WAYS PLUMBING in Bend, OR, you can ensure your water heater continues to function smoothly. Regular inspections not only catch these issues before they worsen but also provide an opportunity to optimize your water heater’s performance, so you can enjoy reliable hot water whenever you need it.
When you schedule a water heater inspection with ALL-WAYS PLUMBING in Bend, OR, you can expect a detailed, step-by-step evaluation of your unit to ensure it’s functioning safely and efficiently. Our technicians begin by checking the exterior of the tank for signs of corrosion, rust, or leaks, as these can indicate deeper internal issues. Next, we examine the pressure relief valve—a crucial safety component that helps prevent excess pressure buildup within the tank. We also assess the thermostat and heating elements, verifying that they are in proper working order and capable of delivering consistent hot water at your desired temperature. Additionally, our Bend-based team inspects the anode rod, which protects your tank from rust, to see if it needs replacing. For gas water heaters, we check the burner assembly and pilot light to ensure they’re operating safely and efficiently. Lastly, we flush the tank to remove any sediment buildup that may be affecting performance and energy efficiency. By the end of the inspection, you’ll receive a clear report detailing the current state of your water heater and any recommended repairs or maintenance, allowing you to make informed decisions for your home.

Professional, prompt and friendly. I had a great experience with All-Ways Plumbing when they came out to my home to replace an aging water heater.

I love my new hose bibs. So happy that after years of struggling with my landscape watering timers I finally have NO DRIPS. Thank you!!

If you want reliability, efficiency and good old school integrity see Jake at all-ways plumbing.

Jake did a phenomenal job for me. Had water heater changed out exactly when he promised and charged what he quoted no extras. Living in another state you never know how things will be handled. Tenant said the job went great and Jake was very polite and easy to work with.

Friendly, transparent, prompt with communication. I recommend Jake's business.

Jake and Elisa were wonderful to work with in their installation of a new hot water heater (to replace our 20-yr old one) for us. Their standards of communication prior to the installation: about our needs concerning the new unit, scheduling, updates, delivery of the heater and arrangement for proper conditions for the installation were excellent. They were on time, worked efficiently and gave us a very thorough introduction to the improved features of the new hot water heater concerning typical use like relighting the pilot light, the vacation setting, error codes provided a function light and what to check for about anything that usually might need to be adjusted by them after installation, and were fun to talk to.

Jake was on time & kept me informed on the repairs to our water heater. (Our dip tube deteriorated after 20+ years) He used language I could understand, not a lot of jargon. He let us know what other potential problems might come up with the water heater. He is very professional. He cleaned up after the repairs. Yay! I highly recommend All-Ways Plumbing.

Highly recommended! I’ve used All-Ways plumbing a few different times, and each time they were prompt, well-priced, and thorough. The work done is top notch and you can rest easy knowing whatever is being fixed or installed, is done with perfection! That’s what’s most important to me when I need any plumbing work done.

Jake is extremely professional and an expert in his field. He has helped us with urgent situations, as well as providing us with solutions long term. In addition to being so knowledgeable, he is also a pleasure to work with… just a great person- Salt of the Earth. We would recommend him and ALL-WAYS PLUMBING to absolutely anyone and everyone. FIVE STARS!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jake was on time, efficient and informative. He was very conscious about being neat and tidy. I will definitely make this my number one plumbing choice.

Jake arrived as scheduled and quickly repaired the bib leak under the house. I had another issue I asked him to look at and he took care of that as well.

All-Ways plumbing from my very first experience has been exemplary!, all my questions and concerns were taken care of in a very polite and professional manner, my mind was eased and assured. I would recommend All-ways plumbing to everyone!, professional top notch honest company.

Jake was very professional and friendly. My plumbing project was a bit of a challenge, but he overcame the obstacles and I ended up with a very professional job. I highly recommend Jake and All-Ways Plumping.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these folks. I'll use them again for sure. Personable, professional in every way.

Jake was able to get us scheduled for the next day. He quickly and easily fixed our water heater and was very pleasant to work with. Would highly recommend and easily call again if another issue appears in the future

Jake came out the same day, knew exactly how to fix our problem, had all the parts in his work truck, and even gave us some pointers on how we could fix another issue for ourselves. I recommend highly!

Good communication, fast work, and takes the time to tell me what he needs to do and why. I would highly recommend.

Several years ago, we had a plumbing issue and Jake came out to fix it. Several days ago, we had a different plumbing issue. Jake arrives on or ahead of time, is efficient, and guarantees his work. Very pleasant to work with and as well as competent. The job was more complicated than I'd expected and included work behind the kitchen sink. There were two items repaired. Granted, it's easy to lump contractors into the same group, but I can't tell you how many times we've been told by a contractor that they were going to come at a specific time and they didn't - or when they did come, they didn't end up fixing the issue. All-Ways Plumbing is a refreshing change. Now if only he knew how to build outbuildings ... (:

All-Ways Plumbing was very responsive and I appreciate that they were able to schedule a timely appointment for a non-emergency repair. Once on site, they were able to quickly resolve our issue with our garbage disposal. They also took the time to explain the issue and offer preventative tips for the future. Throughout the experience, they were courteous and professional.

Jake was very professional and helpful in solving our pressure issues. We received a quick appointment time and Jake was on time and called when he was on his way. Overall great experience and would definitely recommend All-Ways Plumbing for your plumbing needs.

Jake with Central Oregon Water Heaters was very professional, communicative, and listened to our issues. Jake demonstrated what he repaired and provided proof of the repairs to the water heater. Jake found other potential serious issues with the plumbing that saved us future problems and saved my family money. Jake stated to call anytime if we have any other issues and called the next day to follow up. Amazing service!

Jake was professional, on time and arrived next business day! He was very knowledgeable and found the issue quickly and resolved it on the spot. He also provided photos of the work. I would highly recommend Jake and All-Ways Plumbing.

I had a pipe burst as I did not winterize properly before the cold weather hit. Lucky for me Jake from All-Ways Plumbing showed up quickly to handle the situation. He took care of the problem quickly and efficently (also went into my crawl space to check for water) and was also very kind and professional. Afterward he showed me how to turn off the main water valve as I had forgotten where it was. He also made some recommendations on what to do next with winterizing. I will definitely use All-Ways in the the future for all of my plumbing needs. They were competitively priced and the service made all of the difference in what could have been a terrible situation. Thank you Jake!

We would highly recommend using All-Ways Plumbing. The owner Jake is a real nice guy to work with. He installed our water heater 10 years ago and did a great job. Then 6 years ago, we had another plumbing issue and Jake resolved the issue very quickly. Then just the other day, we had another plumbing issue. I called Jake and left a message. He called right back and came out the same day. So if you have any plumbing issues, don't hesitate to call Jake at All-Ways Plumbing. Steve &Luanne

The plumber arrived on time, and he was very clean and well-groomed. I was impressed with the knowledge he had about the business and the way he approached his work. I would definitely recommend this company to my friends.

Outstanding service for our new water heaters. Jake is professional, friendly and communicated clearly every step of the way. His high-quality knowledge and expertise truly stands out. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for reliable and top-notch service. Thank you Jake & Elisa!!!

Jake contacted us soon after we made the service call. He communicated frequently and arrived ahead of schedule. He did a thorough job and was respectful of home by putting booties on his shoes when he entered. He was neat & tidy while working and did an outstanding job. I will definitely call him again when we have our next plumbing job.

Jake was great! Honest about the extent of the job, upfront about the price, and did quality work!

I recently had the pleasure to use ALL-WAYS PLUMBING & CENTRAL OR WATERHEATERS, and they were amazing! I managed to drop my wedding ring down the shower drain, and was honestly having a bit of a panic. From my first call, Jake was super helpful and understanding. He gave me a fair quote and was confident about getting the ring back - which definitely helped in reassuring me that my wife wouldn’t divorce me. He was great about keeping me updated, arrived right on time the next day, and got my ring out with no problems at all. I'm impressed with how professional and efficient the whole experience was. If you ever need plumbing work done, I definitely recommend these guys. Thanks so much, Jake, you're a lifesaver!

When my hot water heater went out I started searching for plumbers. I got a few bids and then ran across Jake and Elisa with Always Plumbing. I went with them because their prices are reasonable, they are straightforward and very knowledgeable. Because I hadn't had hot water for a while, they did some creative scheduling to get me in as soon as possible. In less than a day I had a new hot water heater installed. Everything was completed efficiently, neatly and very professionally done. It was a snowy/wet day and they took pains to make sure to leave everything nice, dry and clean. I believe you can trust them to determine what you need and get the job done right.

Called Jake to unclog a bathtub. He was prompt. He was professional. He is "Always" like that! That is the reason I "Always" call Always Plumbing when I need a plumber. Thank you!

I am exceedingly pleased with All Ways Plumbing's response to my service request. It was a leaking toilet. I called Jake and from the outset he was helpful and straight forward. I appreciate that he described the likely fix and quoted a price up front. Jake was on time, professional, knowledgeable, and kind. He also described each of the steps as he made the repair. This helped because being new to homeownership every little thing I learn helps me take better care of my home! The price was fair. Yes, skilled services are expensive. And yet, having a licensed, experienced tradesman do a job right is actually a good value. I whole heartedly recommend All Ways Plumbing and will call again.

Did a great job swapping out our toilets. Very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient.

The service and quality of work is great! Had a new kitchen sink, faucet and disposal installed. It looks and works great. I would prefer an hourly rate rather than the per job rate.

Jake was amazing! Called me first thing in the morning after a weekend! Got me scheduled right away! Communicated every step of the way! And had a plumbing leak fixed in less than 24 hours! You don’t see that anymore! He communicated when he was done with an explanation of the work completed. I’d use him again and refer him to my clients and friends.

They showed up on time, put on their booties and got straight to work. Very friendly, local and definitely would use again.

A super great guy. You cant go wrong with this one! Thank you Jake.

I called three plumbers and Jake with All-Ways Plumbing was the first to respond. He was professional, courteous and a pleasure to have in your home. He will be my first and only call the next time we have any plumbing issues.

Jake helped diagnose the problem and helped develop a solution. Once the flange was modified, he came back and helped reinstall the toilet. Verified the problem was fixed. Fast, very knowledgeable, trustworthy. All-Ways will be my plumber for any plumbing needs going forward.

Jake was on time, very quick, and professional. Highly recommended!!

I am absolutely thrilled with the work Jake at All-Ways did for my kitchen faucet and garbage disposal replacement. I had a leaking/broken disposal that needed to be completely replaced, and the faucet hoses were leaking quite a bit as well. Jake was able to replace the disposal same day. The faucet was in worse shape than I had realized, so Jake came out a few days later and replaced it for me after I picked the new faucet. Everything is working perfectly and looks fantastic! I also looked up what prices to expect for these kinds of repairs, and their prices are absolutely fair and on point with the current market. I am so happy and highly recommend All-Ways!

Wondering if you need a professional water heater inspection? Bend’s trusted experts at ALL-WAYS PLUMBING are here to answer your questions and guide you through the process.
Water heater inspections are essential to maintaining safety, efficiency, and longevity. For Bend, OR, residents, these inspections are especially important due to hard water, which can lead to sediment buildup that affects performance and causes corrosion over time. Regular inspections by ALL-WAYS PLUMBING can identify issues before they escalate, helping prevent sudden breakdowns, costly repairs, and water damage. Inspections also ensure the water heater’s safety features, like the pressure relief valve, function correctly, reducing the risk of dangerous pressure buildup.

ALL-WAYS PLUMBING’s expert team in Bend provides comprehensive inspections designed to keep your water heater running smoothly, helping you save on energy costs and reduce the need for premature replacements, which makes regular inspections a smart investment for any homeowner.
A typical water heater inspection by ALL-WAYS PLUMBING in Bend, OR, involves a thorough check of key components to ensure optimal performance and safety. Our technicians begin by inspecting the tank for signs of rust, corrosion, or sediment buildup, which can affect efficiency. We also examine the anode rod, a crucial part that helps prevent corrosion in the tank, the pressure relief valve to ensure it functions properly to release excess pressure, and the dip tube which delivers incoming cold water to the bottom of the tank . Additionally, we test the thermostat and heating elements on an electric unit, ensuring they’re calibrated and working efficiently to provide consistent hot water. Our Bend-based team checks for leaks, assesses the connections, and verifies that all safety features are in good condition. By conducting a comprehensive inspection, ALL-WAYS PLUMBING ensures your water heater operates efficiently and safely, helping you avoid unexpected repairs and energy inefficiencies, and extending the life of your water heater.

Regular inspections allow our technicians to flush out sediment, check key components like the thermostat and anode rod, and address any signs of wear before they become major issues.

During water heater inspections, ALL-WAYS PLUMBING commonly detects issues like sediment buildup, corroded anode rods, faulty thermostats, and worn pressure relief valves. Sediment buildup is particularly prevalent in Bend, OR, due to hard water, and if left unaddressed, it can reduce efficiency. A corroded anode rod can lead to corrosion in the tank, a failing dip tube can keep the incoming cold water from distributing to the bottom of the water heater correctly. On an electric water heater a faulty thermostat or heating element can affect the water temperature and on a gas unit the burner assembly and thermostat position can indicate an efficiency issue. Worn pressure relief valves, if not functioning correctly, can pose safety risks by failing to release excess pressure. Leaks or minor corrosion may also be detected during inspections, allowing for timely repairs that prevent further damage. By having ALL-WAYS PLUMBING perform these inspections, Bend homeowners can ensure their water heater runs safely and efficiently, addressing small problems before they escalate into costly repairs or replacements, which promotes the unit’s long-term health and performance.

During this time, our skilled technicians perform a comprehensive assessment of the water heater’s essential components, including the tank, anode rod, thermostat, pressure relief valve, and heating elements. We also flush the tank if necessary, to remove sediment buildup that commonly affects water heaters in Bend due to hard water in some areas. Our team is thorough yet efficient, ensuring each inspection covers every aspect of the water heater’s functionality and safety without taking up too much of your day. By completing these inspections promptly, ALL-WAYS PLUMBING helps Bend homeowners stay proactive in their water heater maintenance, catching potential problems early and allowing for quick solutions to keep your water heater running smoothly and efficiently.

Our comprehensive inspection service offers peace of mind, knowing that your water heater is operating safely and efficiently, making it a wise practice for any homeowner.
While some basic maintenance, like checking for visible leaks or testing the water temperature, can be done by homeowners, a full water heater inspection is best left to professionals like ALL-WAYS PLUMBING in Bend, OR. Professional inspections cover complex elements, such as the anode rod, thermostat, and pressure relief valve, which require specialized knowledge and tools to assess and maintain properly. Bend’s hard water (in some areas) can cause sediment buildup inside the tank, which needs to be flushed regularly to prevent corrosion—something that an experienced plumber can handle more thoroughly. Attempting a complete inspection without training can lead to missed issues, reducing your water heater’s efficiency and lifespan.
