If your emergency involves a leak, sewage, or water, eliminate the source by shutting off the incoming water immediately. Call our team right away. Do not get distracted by the catastrophe and wait to call until later. It is often a good idea to shut off your water heater. If your water heater is electric, and if it is safe to do so, shut off the power to the heater. This can help preserve the heating elements. While you are waiting for service and cleanup, go ahead and fight the little leaks. If you can plug up a leak with towels or put a bucket under a drip, do so. According to the EPA, 10% of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more per day. If you're experiencing water leaks, try to get water out of your pipes by turning on an outdoor spigot or hose. Always enlist the help of plumbing companies to make sure that the problem is fully resolved, not just patched up. Call to learn more.

The average lifespan of a hot water heater is between 8 and 12 years, according to our team. After this time, you may start to notice the hot water running out prematurely, rust in your water, a leak, or loud noises. Our experts recommend planning for your water heater to be replaced about every ten years. Keeping rust, silt, and other debris flushed from your water heater will help ensure it lasts past its warranty period.
