Water Heater Trouble?
Repair it or replace it.
We’ll tell you straight.
Cold showers, rusty water, a rumbling tank, or a puddle around the base all point to a water heater that needs attention. Our plumbers check the burner or elements, thermostat, anode, and venting to find the cause, then walk you through repair and replacement options in plain English.
When a new unit makes more sense, we install tank and tankless models with the details done right: code-compliant venting, drain pans, expansion tanks, and new shutoff valves and supply lines.

FAST ANSWERS
Common water heater questions
How long does a water heater last?
Most tank water heaters last about 8 to 12 years, and tankless units often last 20 years with regular maintenance. Hard water, sediment, and skipped flushing shorten that life.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
If the tank itself is leaking, it needs to be replaced. If a part like a thermostat, heating element, or gas valve has failed on a younger unit, a repair usually makes sense. We give you both prices so you can decide.
Do you install tankless water heaters?
Yes. We install and service tankless water heaters, including sizing the unit, gas piping, and venting so it delivers steady hot water.
Why is my water heater popping or rumbling?
That noise usually comes from sediment built up on the bottom of the tank. Flushing can help, but heavy buildup lowers efficiency and can damage the tank over time.
What is an expansion tank, and do I need one?
An expansion tank absorbs the extra pressure created as water heats. Many homes with a closed plumbing system need one to protect the water heater and pipes, and we will tell you if yours does.
How much does a service call cost?
Our dispatch fee is $49, and it rolls into the cost of the work when you move forward. We use flat-rate pricing, so you approve the price before we start and never pay extra if the job takes longer than expected.
Is your work guaranteed?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a lifetime guarantee, and we stand behind every job with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If something is not right, tell us and we will make it right.
