What it usually is
A pilot that will not stay on may be a worn thermocouple, a dirty pilot assembly, or a gas valve problem. If the tank is old, replacement may be the better value.
What to do first
If you smell gas, do not relight it: leave the house and call your gas utility. Otherwise, follow the label on the tank only if you are comfortable, or call us.
The flat rate that covers it
- Diagnosis / service call (plumbing or electrical): $79
- Water heater install, 40–50 gal tank (your unit): $500 labor
South Hill, around Puyallup, is mostly newer subdivisions, townhomes and apartments built in recent decades along with some older homes. Newer South Hill homes usually have modern supply lines and fixtures, so calls tend to be fixtures, water heaters and breaker or outlet work rather than failed pipe.
