What we can help with
- Gas and electric tanks: We work on the 40 and 50 gallon units in most homes here, and we stock the common parts.
- Thermostats, elements, gas valves and thermocouples: These are the parts that fail, and replacing one often buys years.
- Flushing and anode rod service: Draining the sediment and checking the anode rod keeps a tank from rusting out early.
- Drain pan, expansion tank and relief line: A replacement goes in with the safety parts your plumbing needs.
- Venting and gas connections to code: We bring the installation up to current code.
- Old tank hauled away: The old unit goes with us when we leave.
What to expect
A tank that has rusted through can't be repaired, and almost anything else can. On a heater worth keeping, we drain and flush the tank, check the anode rod, and replace the parts that have failed. We tell you how much life the unit likely has left so you can plan for the replacement rather than be surprised by it.
On a replacement, we match the tank size to your household and set it in a drain pan with a proper relief line. An expansion tank goes on where the plumbing calls for one, and the venting and gas connection come up to code. Where the county requires a permit and an inspection, we handle both and include them in your price.

Frequently asked questions about tank water heaters
How long does a tank water heater last?
Usually 8 to 12 years. Flushing the tank and replacing the anode rod on schedule stretches that out. Once the tank itself leaks, the unit is finished.
Gas or electric?
Most homes stay with what they already have, since that's where the gas line or the circuit already runs. Switching is possible, and we can price it out if you want to compare.
Do I need a permit?
In some counties, yes. We pull it where it's required and include the permit and the inspection in your written price.
