What Every Homeowner In [geoip-city] Should Know
(But Most Don’t)
[geoip-city], [geoip-region]: There is something water heater companies don’t want homeowners to know. This is because if enough homeowners find out, the water heater companies would lose millions of dollars.
Amy recently moved to [geoip-city] because she wanted to be closer to her aging parents. Amy said:
When You’re a Kid, You Don’t Realize
You’re Also Watching Your Mom & Dad Grow Up
Amy said, “One of the hardest things about reaching adulthood is seeing your parents less and less, and seeing them age more and more each time you see them. I had to move back to [geoip-city].”
About a month ago Amy’s parents came to stay at her new house for the weekend. Amy was excited to have them over and show off her new place so she spent days preparing for her parent’s visit.
Her guest arrived and everything was going great until that night. Amy happened to walk by the guest bathroom as her Mom was washing her hands. Amy was slapped in the face with the smell of rotten eggs. She figured her Mom went #2 and didn’t turn on the vent so she just kept walking.
A few hours later Amy took her young son to the guest bathroom to help him wash his hands. When Amy turned on the faucet she was again assaulted with the smell of rotten eggs. Her son reacted by saying,
“Pee-ew You Mommy! You Need To Say Excuse Me?!”
Amy was happy her son reminded her of the importance of manners but she was embarrassed her parents had to deal with this odor coming from the faucet. However, things would only get worse.
Later her parents took showers and told Amy the hot water was off and on, but mostly off. So her parents had to take mostly cold showers. Amy worked so hard to take care of her guest only to have their experience ruined by the bathroom issues. Amy’s Dad was a retired general contractor. He asked Amy a simple question. “When was the last time you got your water heater serviced?” Amy looked at him like he had 2 heads.
“What do you mean” she replied. He told her the rotten egg smell and intermittent hot water may mean she needs her water heater serviced and her anode rods changed. Amy said, “What the hell is an anode rod?” Her Dad said anode rods are like a filter for your water heater. They attract all the bad stuff so that it doesn’t corrode your water heater and get in your water system. He said the rods should be changed every 4 years. Amy’s water heater was over 15 years old and she was pretty sure it had never been serviced.
Amy’s Dad called up a local contractor friend, got a list of the 3 best plumbing companies in [geoip-city] and then he gave the list to Amy. He told her to do her research on the plumbing companies, pick one and have them come service her water heater.
Amy was grateful for his help but was intimidated by having to do the plumbing research. Her husband would usually handle these things but since he was traveling for work, she had to handle this duty. After her parents went back home she did her research. She picked Bluefrog Plumbing of West Houston. Based on Amy’s research this company had the best reviews and was the most affordable. She called Bluefrog, they came out the next day serviced her water heater, and replaced the anode rode at an affordable price.
Her parents came back a couple of weeks later. This time there was no rotten egg smell and a constant flow of hot water. Amy thanked her Dad for his help and advice.
After hearing this story I decided to get my water heater serviced. Based on Amy’s research and recommendation, I called Bluefrog. She was right about them. They were affordable, nice, and professional. If you:
- Live in [geoip-city]
- Own a home
- Have a water heather that is over 4 years old & it’s never been serviced
Then I highly recommend you give them a call. We’ve noticed not enough homeowners in [geoip-city] maintain their water. Getting your water heater serviced is not only important to your wallet, but it’s also important to your health.
