Questions and answers
Either the valve is worn and no longer seals, the water pressure is too high, or the tank is overheating. We test all three before replacing anything.
A slow drip mostly wastes water and energy. Steam, spitting or a stream can mean the tank is overheating, and that needs a plumber straight away.
It depends on the valve rating your tank needs, how easy it is to reach, and whether a pressure limiting valve or drain line work is needed too. You get the price in writing before we start.
No. Legally, homeowners can only do minor plumbing like a tap washer, and a relief valve on a pressurised tank of hot water is well beyond that.
Usually not. We check the existing tempering valve when we replace the relief valve and tell you if it needs work.
Leave it to us. Makers' booklets often call for the lever to be eased now and then, but the water behind it is scalding, and an old valve that hasn't moved in years may not reseat once it opens. We ease it as part of a service and replace it if it won't close.
