Not likely. Modern water heaters are different from those a few decades ago.  They’re safer, more efficient … and more complicated.

Most leaks are caused by worn or misaligned parts. This might be seen in your home as a dripping faucet, a running toilet, a puddle coming from your water heater, or water damage under the sink or elsewhere. If you can’t locate the leak yourself, call Water Heater Express for help.

This is where you really want an expert! There are countless regulations on home renovations and building codes which change frequently. It is especially important that your specialist knows and understands the law. You don’t want to find out the hard way that your “expert” wasn’t up to code!

Silicone is the sealant of choice today because of its ease of application and its low cost. Unfortunately, as the old saying goes, “You get what you pay for”.

Can he identify the part and the problem by description alone? Can he give you an estimate over the phone and stick to it at billing time? Does he answer or return every phone call or request for service within hours, not days? Has he been in business in the same community for decades, not just a few years? If your expert possesses all of the above traits and has personally trained 90% of the area plumbers and others that have gone on to own hugely successful and far-reaching corporations, yet still shows up to work every day because he loves his work, you have more than a pro. You have Homer Williams!

See What Our Customers Are Saying

I cannot sing enough praises for Water Heater Express. Jeremy was prompt, honest, professional, and articulate. I inherited a broken water heater and Jeremy was such a godsend during a sad time for our family. He examined the unit, provided me with an estimate, and fixed it promptly. He didn't try to upsell me or exaggerate a straightforward repair. I will be calling Water Heater Express for ALL of my plumbing needs.

Great service! I called to ask about a malfunctioning water heater, and within 2 hours Jeremy was at my house explaining exactly what the problem was. He was great at communicating with me and explaining my options. When we decided to go ahead and replace the unit, he had the new one installed and working great in no time at all. I was very pleased with his professionalism and commitment to serve the customer!

Outstanding! This is truly a well oiled business. Replaced my daughter's and my water heaters. Jeremy Wheeler is a beast! Former Marine and all business.

Jeremy will not disappoint! Please give him a call if you need this type of service. He is extremely helpful, Explains everything in great detail in terms that you can understand. A very genuine business that you can count on.
