Your water heater is dumping water. Call now and we'll shut it down and replace it.

What's going on

Why they fail suddenly

  1. 01Tank corroded throughHard water and a spent anode rod rust the tank from inside. When it goes, it goes without warning.
  2. 02T&P valve dischargingExcess pressure or temperature. It's the safety working, and it means something else is wrong.
  3. 03Failed control or valveNo hot water with a dry, sound tank is usually a control, thermocouple or element — often a same-visit repair.
Honest options

We diagnose first, then you choose

If the tank is dry and a control failed, we repair it and you have hot water back. If the tank itself is leaking, no repair exists — and we'd rather tell you that in the first five minutes than bill you for a diagnosis you already suspected.

Emergency replacement

Best when the tank is leaking. Common sizes stocked, code strapping and venting, old unit hauled away.

Emergency repair

Best for a sound tank with a failed control, thermocouple, valve or element.

How a visit goes

Shut down, then replaced

  1. 01

    Call and shut it down

    A crew member answers and walks you through the supply valve and gas or breaker if needed.

  2. 02

    Diagnose and quote

    We determine whether it's the tank or a component, and give you written pricing on the spot.

  3. 03

    Repair or swap

    Part replaced, or old unit drained and removed and a new one set, strapped, vented and connected.

  4. 04

    Test and clean up

    Unit fired, temperature set safely, water cleaned up, old heater and packaging hauled away.

What it costs

You'll see the number before we start

Even after hours, the price is written before work starts and includes haul-away on replacements. What affects it:

  • Repair versus replacement, and tank size and fuel type.
  • Whether venting, strapping, pan or expansion tank need updating to code.
  • Location — garage swap versus attic or a tight interior closet.
  • Whether water cleanup or a new drain line is part of the work.
Our water heater failed on a Saturday and they replaced it the same day. Clean install, fair price, and they took the old one with them.

FAQ

Questions we get on the phone

The cold water valve on top of the tank stops it refilling, and the gas control or breaker stops it heating. Those two things turn a flood into a puddle, so do them first and then call.
