Rheem EH-40M Water Heater Replacement With Rheem EHG-40S Water Heater at The Peak @ Balmeg on 4 May 2024

The homeowner at Beacon Heights reported a leaking Rheem EH-55M storage water heater located above the ceiling, which had caused visible water damage to the ceiling. Upon contacting Homeone for a solution, we conducted a thorough site assessment to determine the source of the leak—whether it was due to faulty fittings or a pressure relief valve (PRV), both of which are repairable, or if the tank itself was compromised. Our assessment confirmed that the tank was leaking, necessitating a full replacement. The customer opted for a new Rheem EHG-40S storage water heater.

The replacement process was carried out in full compliance with PUB regulations by our Licensed Plumbers. The project was completed with the required PUB submission, ensuring adherence to all regulatory standards.
