Due to Blocked Drain Pipe Neglected by Handyman
- The unlicensed plumber did not check whether the drain pipe in the wall was obstructed. This prevented pressure from releasing and the pressure continued to build up until the water heater exploded.
Due to Improper Installation of Pressure Relief Valve by Handyman
Some handyman do not install the drain pipe at all. When the water heater releases steam, water droplets can land on the ceiling, causing wet patches.

As a result, the pressure will continue to build up until the water heater explodes.
5 Reasons
Paloma Gas Heater No Hot Water
- Pilot light is out: The pilot light is a small flame that ignites the gas burner in the heater. If the pilot light is out, the heater will not produce hot water. The pilot light may have gone out due to a draft, a clogged pilot tube, or a faulty thermocouple.
- Gas supply issue: The gas supply to the heater may be interrupted or insufficient, preventing the burner from igniting and producing hot water. This could be caused by a gas valve that is turned off or a gas line that is blocked or damaged.
- Thermostat malfunction: The thermostat in the Paloma gas heater controls the temperature of the water. If the thermostat is not working properly, it may not signal the burner to ignite, or it may cause the burner to shut off prematurely, resulting in no hot water.
- Blocked or damaged flue: The flue in the Paloma gas heater is responsible for venting exhaust gases outside the building. If the flue is blocked or damaged, it can cause the heater to shut off automatically to prevent the buildup of harmful gases, resulting in no hot water.
- Faulty burner or heating element: A faulty gas burner or heating element can prevent the Paloma gas heater from producing hot water. The burner may be clogged or damaged, preventing gas from reaching the flame, while the heating element may be burned out or damaged, preventing the water from being heated.
