Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Utah?
Yes. Utah requires a plumbing permit for water heater replacements in most jurisdictions, and licensed contractors are required to pull the permit on your behalf. Be cautious of any company that offers to skip the permit process — unpermitted work can void your homeowner's insurance and create issues when you sell the property.
Why does my hot water smell like sulfur only after it sits unused?
When water sits in a warm tank for an extended period -- like after a vacation -- anaerobic bacteria can multiply and produce hydrogen sulfide. This is more common in homes with well water, softened water, or a depleted anode rod. Running hot water for a few minutes often clears it temporarily. A longer-term fix involves replacing the anode rod with a zinc-alloy version and, in persistent cases, sanitizing the tank with a diluted chlorine solution. Ask a Salina plumber for the best approach for your situation.
I smell gas near my water heater — what should I do?
A faint gas smell immediately after lighting a pilot is normal and should dissipate quickly. A strong, persistent gas odor is an emergency: do not turn any lights or switches on or off, do not use your phone inside the house, leave immediately, and call your gas utility from outside. Rocky Mountain Power and Dominion Energy Utah both have 24/7 emergency lines. Do not re-enter until a gas company technician has cleared the property. After the gas company clears it, a licensed plumber should inspect all fittings before you use the water heater again.
Is my landlord required to replace my water heater in Utah?
Yes. Under Utah Code Section 57-22-3, landlords are required to maintain rental units in a habitable condition, which includes functioning hot water. A broken water heater is considered a habitability issue. If your water heater fails, notify your landlord in writing and keep a copy. If they fail to act within a reasonable time frame, you may have legal remedies including repair-and-deduct or lease termination.
