Water Heater Installation FAQs for West Bend, WI
Answers to common questions about water heater installation, repair and upkeep for West Bend homes and businesses.
Should I flush my water heater, and how often?
Flushing a tank water heater typically once a year drains out the sediment that settles on the bottom of the tank. Hard water, which is common in Wisconsin, makes that sediment build up faster, so some homes benefit from flushing more often. Sediment reduces efficiency and can shorten the tank's life. A water conditioning system can also cut down the minerals that cause the buildup.
Why does my water heater make popping or rumbling noises?
Popping, rumbling or crackling from a tank water heater usually comes from sediment on the bottom of the tank. Water trapped under that layer heats up, turns to steam and bubbles through it, which makes the noise. Flushing the tank often quiets it. If the sounds continue after a flush, or come with leaks or inconsistent hot water, it is a good time to schedule a water heater repair visit.
What size water heater does my household need?
Sizing depends on how many people live in the home and how much hot water you use at the same time. For tank models, the first-hour rating on the label shows how much hot water the unit can deliver in a busy hour, and it should match your peak demand, such as back-to-back showers while the dishwasher runs. A proper water heater installation starts with sizing the unit to your household.
Why does my hot water smell like rotten eggs?
A sulfur smell that shows up only in the hot water usually comes from a reaction between bacteria in the water and the tank's magnesium anode rod. It is more common in homes on private wells. Flushing the tank and replacing the anode rod with a different type often solves it. If the smell is in the cold water too, the source is the water supply, and well water conditioning may help.
What does the relief valve on a water heater do?
The temperature and pressure relief valve is a safety device that opens if the water inside the tank gets too hot or the pressure climbs too high. It releases water through a discharge pipe that runs toward the floor. A relief valve that drips or discharges regularly is a warning sign that needs attention, and it should never be capped or plugged. Testing it during routine maintenance helps make sure it works.

I built a new home and Wilkes was great from start to finish. Caroline in the office was always helpful when I had questions. Jerry went above and beyond in not only taking care of the plumbing, but also to coordinate with other contractors to make sure all of the small details were handled correctly by all. I would highly recommend. Thanks for a great experience!

Very friendly staff, very professional. For some reason I trusted them right after my initial phone call regarding my issues at my house, Robert showed up when me and my wife were at work I opened up my garage door and he did his thing and closed my garage when he was finished. Would highly reccomend them to anyone and definitely use them again in the future for my household needs!

What a fantastic company! Not only did they come out and fix our sink drain and install a water heater in a timely fashion, they just went above and beyond to help us out! We just recently moved to a new house and they were more than understanding with our needs both financially and for the house. I recommend Rob highly for any plumbing needs! Thank you again for everything

Wilkes did a great job and coordinated with the biz doing our new flooring (Ideal Custom Flooring). We had 2 plumbers out that were friendly, efficient and patient with working around all of us being in the house as well. Highly recommend but they are a very busy shop so your best bet is scheduling well in advance of your plumbing needs, excluding emergencies.
