Water Heater Codes Currently Enforced in Medina, WA

Permits Required

A plumbing permit is required when replacing an electric water heater; a mechanical permit is required for gas. We handle the permit process efficiently to avoid delays. Medina Permit Application

Earthquake Strapping

Water heaters must be strapped at two points — within the upper and lower thirds of the tank — to resist seismic displacement. A 4-inch clearance must be maintained from controls at the lower strap.

Expansion Tanks

An expansion tank or approved thermal expansion device is required on any closed plumbing system to prevent pressure buildup that can stress the tank and piping over time.

Approved Locations & Venting

Fuel-fired heaters in bedrooms or bathrooms require a sealed enclosure. Proper venting is required for all gas and fuel-fired units to prevent carbon monoxide buildup using approved materials and clearances.

Pressure Regulating Valves

A pressure regulating valve is required when incoming water pressure exceeds 80 PSI. Excessive pressure can damage fixtures, connections, and the water heater itself.

Drain Pans & Bonding

A drain pan connected to an approved drain is required where leaks could cause property damage. All metal water and gas piping must be electrically bonded to the grounding system.

Sediment Traps & Shutoff

A sediment trap (drip leg) is required on the gas supply line. A dedicated cold water shutoff valve must be installed to allow the unit to be isolated for service without disrupting the whole house supply.

Pipe Insulation

Under the Washington State Energy Code, hot water piping must be insulated to a minimum of R-3. Heaters in unconditioned spaces must be placed on an R-10 insulated surface. WA State Energy Code

Medina Water Heater FAQs

Answers to the questions , homeowners ask us most.

Don’t see yours? Call us at the number above or request service online.

Do you offer same-day water heater service in Medina?
Yes — Fast Water Heater Co. provides same-day water heater installation, replacement, and emergency repair throughout Medina, Hunts Point, Yarrow Point, and Clyde Hill when you call before noon. Most Medina addresses are within a 1.5–2 hour response window.
What permits are required for water heater replacement in Medina?
A plumbing permit is required for nearly every water heater replacement under the Washington State Plumbing Code. The City of Medina Development Services / Building Department issues permits (medina-wa.gov/284). We pull the correct permit for your address and coordinate the inspection.
Do I need seismic strapping for my water heater in Medina?
Yes. Medina sits along the Seattle Fault zone and is within the Cascadia Subduction Zone risk area. WA Plumbing Code requires two seismic straps on every tank water heater (upper third and lower third), anchored to wall studs or masonry. We install code-compliant straps on every job.
What rebates are available for water heaters in Medina?
PSE offers strong rebates on heat pump water heaters ($800+) and high-efficiency tankless. The federal 25C tax credit covers up to $2,000 for HPWHs. The IRA HEEHRA point-of-sale rebate (up to $1,750 for income-qualified households) is rolling out via the Washington State Department of Commerce.
How does Medina water hardness affect water heaters?
Medina is served via Cascade Water Alliance / Bellevue Water, which sources from the Cedar River (Seattle Public Utilities). Cedar River water is exceptionally soft (1.3–2.6 grains) — among the softest municipal water in the country. Even with soft water, annual flushing on tank units and quarterly descaling on tankless protects sediment buildup and longevity.
Can you install a tankless water heater in older Medina homes?
Yes — we install Rinnai, Navien, Noritz, Rheem, and Bradford White tankless units in older lakefront and Old Medina homes. We handle gas-line resize, dedicated 120V outlet, condensate drain, and Category IV venting required for condensing units.
Can you install large-capacity water heaters for Medina estates?
Yes. Medina has many large lakefront estates with high hot-water demand. We routinely install 75 and 100 gallon tank units, twin-tank manifold setups, and high-output Rinnai/Navien condensing tankless cascades sized for 4+ bath demand. Sizing is matched to fixture-unit count and recovery demand.
Do you handle gas, electric, and tankless water heaters in Medina?
Yes — full lineup. Standard gas tank (40, 50, 75, 100 gallon), electric tank, gas tankless (condensing and non-condensing), and heat pump water heaters. We are authorized installers for Bradford White, Rheem, AO Smith, Rinnai, Navien, and Noritz, with the most common Eastside sizes stocked for same-day swap.

Water Heater Repair in Medina — Quick Overview

Constant Operation

Water heaters work continuously to provide hot water. They’re durable but may need repairs for leaks or heating issues.

Warranty Check

Water heaters typically have a 5–15 year warranty on parts. Check your model and serial number to see if it’s still under warranty. Our Medina technicians are familiar with all major brands.

Replacement vs. Repair

If your water heater is over 10 years old, consider replacing it instead of repairing — it may be more cost-effective in the long run.

Thermocouple Replacement

Often needed when the heater isn’t heating water. This part helps control gas flow and is a common repair.

Anode Rod Replacement

Essential for preventing tank corrosion from minerals and pressure. Installing new or dual anode rods can significantly extend the heater’s life.

Pilot Light Issues

A frequent repair need. The pilot light might need to be re-lit or the entire assembly replaced to restore normal operation.

Draining the Tank

Older models require yearly draining to prevent sediment build-up, which reduces efficiency and shortens the heater’s lifespan.
