Founder | Writer | Water Heater Enthusiast
Sohel Rana is an expert writer on plumbing, HVAC, and appliance repair & troubleshooting. Since 2020, he has written on these specific topics, though his writing journey began in 2018.
As a homeowner, he often faces problems with daily usage appliances, aka water heater, washing machine, coffee maker, and others.
It’s impossible to call a certified plumber every time to shell out for a simple problem like why the water heater won’t heat or the fan isn’t spinning.
From this sense, he started joining forums like TerryLove, Reddit, and participating in several plumbing events.
His eyes were opened by joining those online communities and emerged with this idea: Why don’t I do something meaningful that helps thousands of homeowners?
On 27 December 2021, he launched Lil Dutch-Uncle to help his readers- solve plumbing-related problems. Here are some screenshots of his readers’ comment, which proves how he helped them:
