Water heater pilot lights go out more often than you might expect. Temperature swings, draft issues, or simply a thermocouple reaching the end of its life. This Gardnerville homeowner tried relighting it themselves. No luck. Understandable, really. Gas appliances can feel intimidating, and there's good reason for caution. Riley Plumbing & Heating responded the same day, checked the thermocouple and gas valve operation, then got the pilot burning steadily again. Hot water restored, and the homeowner learned what to watch for next time. If your water heater pilot won't stay lit, Call Now. We'll sort it out safely.
