I have no hot water. What should I check first?

Start with the circuit breaker or gas pilot light - 60% of no-hot-water calls are a tripped breaker or extinguished pilot. If both are fine, the heating element or thermostat has likely failed. Most repairs take under two hours. Call us and we can diagnose over the phone before dispatching.

How long does a water heater typically last?

Tank water heaters last 8-12 years; tankless units 15-20 years with annual descaling. Hard water (Dallas averages 17 grains per gallon) shortens that by 2-3 years. If yours is over 10 years and needs a repair costing more than 50% of a new unit, replacement is the better investment.

Is a tankless water heater worth the higher upfront cost?

For a household using over 40 gallons per day, yes - tankless units reduce water heating bills by 24-34% according to the U.S. Department of Energy. The $1,000-1,500 premium over a tank unit typically pays back in 5-7 years. They also eliminate the risk of a 50-gallon tank rupture flooding your home.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

Replace if the unit is over 10 years old, has rust-colored water coming from the hot tap, or if the repair quote exceeds 50% of a new installation. Repair if the unit is under 8 years old and the failure is a single component (element, thermostat, or anode rod). We give honest recommendations - we'll tell you if a repair isn't worth it.

What does water heater repair or replacement cost in the Dallas area?

slab leak repair

"Previous plumber couldn't fix our slab leak after two visits. Nick tunneled in and had it repaired the same day - about three feet off the wall under the master bath. He kept the access small, so drywall was the only thing left to patch. Wish we had called him first."

water pressure repair

"Rural property on well water. Pressure tank kept cycling every few seconds — waterlogged. Nick came out, confirmed it, replaced the tank and gauge same day. Pressure has been steady since. Good straightforward work."

sewer line repair

"Main sewer line was backing up into the floor drain. Nick ran a camera first before doing anything, showed me a root mass about twenty feet down the line. He cleared it with the hydrojetter and the line has drained normally for three months since."
