A leaking tank cannot be repaired. Once the steel is through, the only question is whether you replace it on your schedule or after it empties across the basement floor.

How water heater replacement works, step by step

  1. Size it correctly

    Household size and peak demand set the capacity. An undersized tank means cold showers; oversized means paying to heat water nobody uses.

  2. Quote it flat, all in

    Unit, connections, permit where required, haul-away. One number.

  3. Install to current code

    Proper venting, correct T&P discharge, expansion tank, and drip pan where the location calls for it.

  4. Fill, purge and test

    We fill, purge the air, light and verify temperature before the truck leaves.
