Step-by-Step: Hot Water Tank Replacement in Maple Ridge
01
Initial Assessment
We begin by assessing your existing hot water system. This includes:
- Type of unit (gas, electric, hybrid)
- Tank size and capacity
- Location of the tank and any potential space limitations
We’ll help you choose the best replacement unit based on your home’s needs, the local climate, and your water usage habits.
02
Shutting Off Utilities
Safety is our top priority, so we ensure all utilities are turned off before starting:
- Disconnecting the gas or electricity
- Shutting off the cold water supply
This eliminates the risk of electric shock, gas leaks, or water damage during the replacement process.
03
Draining the Old Tank
To ensure a clean and safe removal:
- We drain the remaining water from the old tank using a hose.
- This prevents any spills or damage during the removal process.
If your old tank is rusty or leaking, we take extra care to protect your floors and walls from potential water damage.
04
Disconnecting & Removing the Old Tank
Once drained, we:
- Disconnect the water pipes, gas or electric connections, and venting systems (for gas models)
- Safely remove the old tank from your home and dispose of it properly
We aim to make the process as hassle-free as possible by handling all disposal and recycling of the old unit.
05
Preparing for the New Tank
Before installing the new hot water tank, we:
- Inspect the floor and wall for stability and ensure the tank will be properly supported
- Ensure proper ventilation (important for gas models)
- Flush the pipes if necessary to remove mineral buildup or corrosion that may have accumulated over time
We also verify that everything is in compliance with the latest building codes.
06
Installing the New Tank
Once everything is prepped:
- We position the new tank in place and connect the cold water inlet and hot water outlet.
- We hook up the electrical or gas lines depending on the type of tank.
- We install the temperature and pressure relief valve (TPR valve) and make sure the system is level and secure.
Everything is carefully tested and double-checked before turning the system on.
07
Filling and Testing the Tank
Once the tank is installed:
- We open the water supply to fill the tank, then bleed any air from the system by running a hot water tap.
- We check each connection point for any leaks.
- We turn on the power (for electric units) or ignite the gas burner (for gas units), and then check the thermostat settings.
- We ensure the tank heats water properly and is functioning as expected.
08
Final Safety Check & Walkthrough
Before we finish, we:
- Perform a comprehensive safety inspection of the new system
- Walk you through the user manual, warranty information, and how to adjust settings
- Show you how to spot any early warning signs of issues
- Clean up the work area so your home is left spotless
