Signs Your Water Heater Needs Attention
Your water heater will give you warning signs before it fails completely. Watch for: water that doesn't get as hot as it used to, inconsistent water temperature, discolored or rusty hot water, a popping or rumbling noise from the tank (usually sediment buildup), water pooling around the base of the unit, or a water heater that's over 10 years old. Addressing these issues early can extend the life of your unit or help you plan for a replacement before an emergency occurs.
Tank Water Heater Repair & Replacement
Traditional tank water heaters store 30 to 80 gallons of pre-heated water. When repairs are needed — replacing a heating element, thermostat, anode rod, or pressure relief valve — our technicians handle the job efficiently. When replacement is more cost-effective than repair (generally when the unit is over 10 years old and needs a major component), we carry top-brand replacement units on our trucks for same-day installation in most cases.
Tankless Water Heater Installation
Tankless (on-demand) water heaters heat water instantly as it flows through the unit, eliminating the standby energy loss of traditional tanks. They last longer (20+ years vs. 10-12 for tank units), provide unlimited hot water, and can reduce water heating energy costs significantly. Advantage Plumbing installs and services all major tankless brands. We'll assess your home's hot water demand and recommend the right unit size.
Water Heater Maintenance
Annual water heater maintenance extends the life of your unit and maintains efficiency. Our maintenance service includes flushing sediment from the tank, inspecting and replacing the anode rod if needed, checking the pressure relief valve, inspecting connections and gas lines (for gas units), and testing the thermostat. Regular maintenance can add years to your water heater's service life.
