Customer Reviews: Kansas City, KS

Water Heaters in Kansas City Kansas may have a very short tank life if there is a check valve in the water meter. Water meters installed between 2003-2015 most likely have check valves installed and will wreak havoc on your appliances and water heater. 

Water meters in Kansas City Kansas were installed with a check valve for several years throughout KCK. Recently, they have switched back to the meters that all for an open loop.

Breaker
After further investigation the inside of the tank had been flaking away and pieces of metal were floating around inside the tank causing the breaker to trip. Installed new 50 gallon Electric water heater along with a new supply line for a fridge. Main shutoff valve was also leaking which was replaced with a new valve. Also repaired a leaking outside faucet by replacing the washer.
