Water Heater Repair
Not every problem means a new water heater. We’ll find the cause and explain your options before any work begins. Common issues we help with:
- ♦ No hot water or not enough hot water
- ♦ Water that runs lukewarm or runs out quickly
- ♦ Leaks around the tank or connections
- ♦ Rusty or discolored hot water
- ♦ Popping, rumbling or other unusual noises
- ♦ Pilot, burner or heating element problems on gas and electric units
Water Heater Replacement & Installation
When a water heater is leaking from the tank or is near the end of its life, replacement is usually the better choice. We’ll help you choose the right size and type for your home, remove the old unit and install the new one to code. We pull the required permits and haul away your old unit.
Tank and tankless options. Tankless units heat water on demand and can save space. We can talk through whether tank or tankless makes sense for your home.
Emergency Water Heater Service
A burst or leaking water heater can damage floors, walls and belongings quickly. Our emergency plumbing service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. If your water heater is leaking, shut off the water supply to the unit and call us.
Water Heater Maintenance
We offer water heater flushing and maintenance. Routine care such as flushing out sediment can help a tank water heater run more efficiently.
Is It the Water Heater or the Pipes?
Low pressure, discolored water or recurring leaks can sometimes trace back to aging pipes rather than the water heater. Many older Florida homes still have polybutylene or galvanized piping. Since 1991, our team has repiped more than 30,000 units. Learn more about our repiping services and our leak detection work.
Water Heater FAQ
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
It depends on the age of the unit and the problem. A leaking tank usually means replacement; parts like thermostats or elements can often be repaired. We’ll walk you through it during a site visit.
