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

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.
