When a homeowner in South Seattle noticed their 20+ year-old Rheem water heater finally giving out, they reached out to Bee’s Plumbing for a solution they could trust. Having worked with the customer before, our team had already provided estimates for both the water heater and a pressure reducing valve—making it easy to move forward quickly when the unit began leaking. Plumber, Blake, and his apprentice, Noah, arrived ready to get the job done efficiently while honoring the previously quoted pricing and applying an additional promotional discount.
The team completed a full installation of a new 50-gallon gas water heater, including updated connections, a new expansion tank, and a pressure reducing valve to address previously high water pressure levels. Before the work, the home’s water pressure measured at 115 PSI—well above the recommended range—but was safely brought down to 75 PSI after installation. The system was thoroughly tested to ensure proper function and zero leaks, with the water temperature set to a safe and efficient 120 degrees. The old unit was also hauled away, leaving the space clean and ready for reliable use.
Just as important as the technical work was the overall experience. Blake and Noah approached the job with professionalism, clear communication, and respect for the home—ensuring everything was left clean and in order before wrapping up. With a manufacturer warranty on the tank and additional coverage on installed components, this installation provides reliable hot water and peace of mind for years to come.
