    What Our Clients Say

    Best plumbing service I’ve dealt with in a long time. Chris is superb. I was recommended by a family friend. Best to book ahead as he is very busy, but worth the wait. He took into account my mother’s arthritic needs as she had issues with turning the kitchen sink handles and resolved the leaking issue, and took the time to show and explain everything. Thank you, Chris. Hope to deal with you again for further plumbing solutions.

    Suzie Ferreira

    We had a Saturday morning plumbing emergency, with water backing into our downstairs bathroom. Chris arrived within an hour and was able to sort the issue quickly. He explained and demonstrated what the problem had been and provided great advice for possible long term solutions. I chose Civic based on being local and great google reviews and I’m glad we did.

    Ingrid Johnston

    Awesome service. Called up and had my hot water tank replaced. Chris the plumber even helped me out by removing a rusty screw. Great service, from first call to problem being fixed was less than 45 minutes.

    Is a 15-year-old water heater considered old?

    Yes, a 15-year-old water heater is generally considered old. Most water heaters have an average lifespan of 10-15 years, so if your unit is nearing or exceeding this age, it may be time to consider a replacement.

    Can I extend the lifespan of my hot water system?

    While you can take steps to maintain your water heater and potentially extend its lifespan, a 15-year-old unit is already nearing the end of its usable life. Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank annually and checking the anode rod, can help prolong the life of a newer water heater.

    What type of water heater should I choose for replacement?

    Choosing the right type of water heater for your replacement depends on your specific hot water needs, available energy sources, and budget. Options include electric storage, gas storage, solar water heaters, or continuous flow systems. It’s best to consult with a hot water specialist to determine the best fit for your situation.

    What are the signs that my water heater needs to be replaced?

    Several signs indicate your water heater may need to be replaced. These include a decrease in hot water supply, frequent repairs, leaks or pooling water around the unit, rust or corrosion, unusual noises, or an increase in energy bills.

    What are the benefits of replacing my old water heater?

    Replacing your old water heater can offer several benefits. Newer models are more energy-efficient, which can result in lower utility bills. They may also provide better water heating performance and reliability, giving you consistent hot water when you need it.
