As conventional storage water heaters age, sediment will build up inside. When the pressure inside of the tank changes dramatically or the water temperature changes, the sediment will make loud popping noises. Although these popping noises can be alarming, it isn’t a cause for emergency. These sounds are often a sign that your water heater is reaching the end of its life. Here in the Pacific Northwest, hard water can contribute to problems with your water heater. Learn more about hard water at USGS.gov.

WHY CHOOSE D & F?
"We had D&F replace a kitchen faucet at a rental we own in SE Portland. Teena was terrific on the phone, getting us scheduled quickly, and Tyler showed up on time and did a great job. Throughout, communication was excellent. We would recommend them to anyone, and will definitely use them again both at the rental and at our own house."
Ethan S.
D&F plumbing is the best! I probably use them a few times a year and have never been disappointed with either the service or pricing. The Plumbers are always so nice, respectful and incredibly helpful! Jesse came out today and was awesome! Randy in office is the absolute best as well!! D&F is the plumbing company I’ll use and I recommend them to everyone."
Rachel A. "I called D and F to help me figure out how to turn the water back on that was accidentally turned off. They were supposed to call me back, but instead showed up within minutes and fixed the problem free of charge. I'm very happy with how they handled this issue and I'll definitely be using them on the next job."
