Water Heater Repair & Replacement
No hot water, not enough hot water, or a leaking tank? A licensed plumber will talk through repair versus replacement.
When the hot water stops, or the tank starts to leak
A water heater is easy to ignore until the shower goes cold or you find water on the floor. We repair residential water heaters when a repair will actually solve it, and we replace them when the tank itself is leaking or the unit is worn out.
- No hot water, or water that doesn't get as hot as it should
- Not enough hot water to finish a shower or a load of laundry
- Rusty or discolored hot water
- Popping or rumbling from the tank
- Water around the base of the heater, or a relief valve that keeps dripping
When you call, tell us whether the heater is gas or electric and what you're seeing. We'll let you know what it will take.
Repair or replacement?
Repair often makes sense when
The tank isn't leaking and a part has failed — a heating element or thermostat on many electric units, an igniter or related part on many gas units, a valve, or a dip tube. Those can often be replaced without replacing the whole heater.
Replacement is usually the honest answer when
The tank is leaking. A leaking tank isn't something you patch for the long run. An older heater that has already had several repairs, or that no longer keeps up, is also a candidate for replacement. We'll say so plainly.
Safety valves
The temperature-and-pressure relief valve is a safety device. If it drips steadily or has been leaking, don't cap it. Call us and we'll look at whether the valve or something else is the problem.
Water heaters in this part of Florida
Many Treasure Coast and Space Coast homes keep the water heater in a garage or an outside closet. Sediment can settle in the tank and make it rumble or heat less efficiently. None of that is a reason to panic, and none of it is a promise about how long a tank will last — tanks fail on their own schedule. If yours is acting up, call and describe it.
We don't push a particular brand on this site, and we don't quote replacement prices here because every install is different (size, location, electric or gas, and what it takes to get the old tank out). Our trip charge is credited toward your repair when you go ahead with the work.
Water heater questions
Do you repair and replace water heaters?
Yes. We repair residential water heaters when a repair makes sense, and we replace them when the tank is leaking or the unit is at the end of its useful life. Call and tell us what's going on — no hot water, not enough hot water, rusty water or a leak — and we'll talk through the next step.
Do you work on gas and electric water heaters?
We work on residential water heaters in the homes we serve. When you call, tell us whether yours is gas or electric and what's going on. We'll let you know what it will take.
How much does a plumber cost?
Every job is different. It depends on what's wrong, what it takes to fix it and the parts involved. Call us to talk through your job and pricing. Our trip charge is credited toward your repair when you go ahead with the work.
