Water heaters usually give some warning before they fail: not enough hot water, rumbling, discoloured water, or a small pool at the base. Knowing what those signs mean helps you decide whether to repair or plan a replacement before the failure becomes an emergency.
If the leak is at a valve, fitting, or T&P valve, it is usually repairable. If the tank itself is leaking, it needs replacement. On a heater near or past its expected life, replacement is usually a better use of money than repeat repairs.
A specialist assesses the problem on site before any repair work is priced. Repair options and pricing are explained before approved work begins.
A leak from the tank body is. A drip from a valve or fitting can often wait for a normal appointment. Shut off power/gas and the cold-water inlet and call to confirm.
Water heater installs involve gas or electrical work, venting, and permits in many areas. It is a licensed trade job.
A like-for-like tank replacement is usually completed in a single visit. Tankless conversions and gas-line upgrades take longer.
