My hot water outflow pipe on my water heater began leaking due to corrosion. It caused my water heater to fail on a Friday. I had just moved to Corpus from CA 2 years ago. I contacted my realtor and he said he'd have a plumber that he knew contact me. He never did. When I called my realtor again he said he'd try a different plumber all to no avail. After several days of no hot water I bought a water heater at Home Depot. I tried to have them arrange for installation with a Home Depot certified contractor. Finally, the day after I bought the new water heater, Home Depot called & said that they could install my new water heater in 2 or 3 more days. Finally, even though I'm a 71yo retired surgeon, I decided to remove my old water heater, & I install the new one myself. Despite the fact that I replaced its washer, Unfortunately the corroded pipe leaked even more after I installed my new water heater.
Finally a neighbor recommended I call Anchor Plumbing. Boy am I ever glad they did! 3 hours after I called, they arrived & replaced the corroded pipe segment. I now have hot water & a happy house again. Anchor's fee was more than reasonable.
