WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A LEAKY WATER HEATER!

→ Turn Off Your Water Tank!
If you experience a leak in your water heater, it is recommended that you turn off the water supply to your tank. Your water heater tank should have a dedicated shutoff valve on the cold inlet pipes.

→ Do You Have a Broken Valve?
If the valve is broken, you can shut the water off to your home. Each home should have a main water shut-off valve that would stop the flow of water to the entire house.

→ Can’t Find Your Valve?
If you are unable to locate this shut-off valve, please give us a call, and we can schedule a time to have one of our service technicians out to your home to help you right away.

Standard Water Heaters

Standard water heaters, or tank heaters, store and heat water with gas or electricity. They are popular in Hillsboro, Oregon, and SW Washington for their reliability and cost-effectiveness. Timely repairs for issues like sediment buildup, leaks, or faulty heating elements are essential. Regular maintenance extends lifespan. Frequent problems or wear suggest replacement to improve efficiency and lower costs. Professional plumbing services ensure proper diagnosis, repair, or replacement.

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heater repair and replacement keep your hot water efficient. Unlike tanks, tankless units heat on demand, saving energy and lasting longer. Issues like mineral buildup or faulty parts may arise. Quick repairs restore performance, but old or damaged units may need replacement. Professionals in Hillsboro and SW Washington ensure safe, code-compliant service for reliable, energy-efficient hot water.

When It's Time to Replace a Hot Water Tank

  • Signs the existing system is failing

    Water heaters approaching failure display warning signs, including insufficient hot water supply, rusty or discolored water, unusual noises, and visible leaks around the tank base. We help homeowners recognize these indicators before complete system failure creates emergencies and potential property damage. Our assessment identifies declining performance patterns that signal the need for replacement while also preventing costly water damage incidents.

  • The typical lifespan of a standard hot water tank

    Most conventional water heaters provide reliable service for eight to twelve years, depending on water quality, maintenance frequency, and usage patterns throughout their operational life. We evaluate tank age and condition to determine remaining service life and recommend replacement timing that prevents unexpected failures. Our experience helps homeowners plan replacements proactively rather than reactively during emergencies.

  • How replacing a hot water tank improves energy efficiency and reduces monthly utility bills

    Modern water heaters deliver significantly improved energy efficiency ratings compared to older units, reducing monthly utility costs while providing superior heating performance. We install high-efficiency systems that lower operating expenses through advanced insulation, improved heating elements, and optimized control systems. Our replacements typically reduce energy consumption by twenty to thirty percent.

What to Know Before a Tankless Water Heater Swap

  • Converting from a traditional tank to a tankless system requires electrical upgrades, gas line modifications, and specialized venting configurations that differ significantly from traditional installations. We handle all conversion requirements, including utility coordination, permit applications, and code compliance throughout the swap process. Our expertise encompasses every aspect of tankless conversion, ensuring successful system integration.

  • Tankless systems eliminate bulky storage tanks while providing unlimited hot water capacity and reduced energy consumption through on-demand heating technology. We help homeowners reclaim valuable utility space while reducing monthly energy costs through efficient tankless installations. Our conversions typically free up significant floor space for alternative uses.

  • Tankless conversions often require electrical panel upgrades, gas line sizing modifications, and specialized venting systems that meet manufacturer specifications and local codes. We coordinate all necessary upgrades, including utility connections, permit requirements, and inspection scheduling throughout the conversion process. Our comprehensive approach addresses every technical requirement for reliable tankless operation.
