Water Heater Services

Drain State Plumbing

Need help with a leaking, failing, or outdated water heater? Drain State provides water heater repair, replacement, installation, and tankless water heater services based on the problem and the type of system.

Water Heater Repair, Installation & Replacement

Water heater problems do not all require the same service. A unit that suddenly stops producing hot water may need a repair, while a leaking or unreliable heater may need to be replaced. Other properties may need a completely new installation or a tankless system.

Drain State provides water heater services for traditional tank and tankless systems. We start with what the property needs and what the existing water heater is actually doing before deciding which service makes sense.

Our water heater services include repair, replacement, new installation, and tankless water heater service for residential and commercial properties.

01
Water Heater Repair

No hot water, changing temperatures, leaking, or another problem with an existing heater? We start by finding out what is failing.

02
Installation & Replacement

When an existing heater needs replacement or a property needs a new unit, the installation should match the plumbing and hot water needs of the property.

03
Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless systems have different installation and service requirements from traditional storage-tank water heaters.

Our Water Heater Services

The right place to start depends on whether you are trying to fix an existing heater, replace a failed unit, install a new system, or work with a tankless water heater.

01

Water Heater Repair

If your water heater is not producing hot water, is heating inconsistently, leaking, making unusual noises, or having another performance problem, start with our water heater repair service.

02

Water Heater Installation

For a new tank water heater installation or replacement of an existing unit, see our water heater installation and replacement service.

03

Water Heater Replacement

A leaking tank, repeated failures, or a heater that is no longer dependable may make replacement more practical than another repair.

04

Tankless Water Heater Service

For tankless repair, replacement, or a new tankless installation, visit our tankless water heater service.

05

Gas Water Heaters

Gas water heaters have their own heating and installation requirements. The service needed depends on whether the existing unit is being repaired or replaced.

06

Electric Water Heaters

Electric water heater problems and installations involve a different heating system from gas units, so the type of heater matters when diagnosing or replacing the system.

Which Water Heater Service Do You Need?

A water heater that has stopped working does not automatically need replacement. Likewise, an older heater does not automatically make repair the wrong choice. The symptoms and condition of the unit help determine where to start.

01
Existing unit has a problem

Start With Water Heater Repair

If the heater still appears repairable and the problem involves hot water, temperature, leaking, controls, or another component, begin with water heater repair.

02
Existing unit needs to be replaced

Water Heater Replacement

If the tank itself has failed, the unit is no longer reliable, or another repair does not make practical sense, our water heater installation and replacement service covers the next step.

03
Property needs a new system

New Water Heater Installation

A new installation should account for the property's plumbing, available utilities, installation location, and normal hot water demand.

04
Considering or servicing tankless

Tankless Water Heater Service

Tankless systems should be handled according to the requirements of the unit and installation. See our tankless water heater installation and repair service.

Tank vs. Tankless Water Heaters

Traditional tank and tankless water heaters both provide hot water, but they do it in different ways.

A tank water heater stores heated water so it is ready for use. A tankless water heater heats water as it moves through the system instead of keeping a storage tank full of hot water.

That difference affects installation, repair, replacement, available space, and how the system needs to match the property's hot water demand.

If you are considering changing from a tank system to tankless, see our tankless water heater service for more information about installation and repair.

Common Water Heater Problems

Some symptoms are useful starting points when deciding which water heater service may be needed.

  • No hot water
  • Hot water runs out faster than usual
  • Water temperature changes unexpectedly
  • Water is leaking around the heater
  • The heater has started making unusual noises
  • The same problem keeps returning after previous service
  • The existing unit needs replacement
  • A new water heater needs to be installed

For troubleshooting and repair of an existing tank unit, visit our water heater repair page.

Water Heater Repair or Replacement?

Repair may make sense when the problem is limited to a serviceable part and the rest of the heater remains in usable condition.

Replacement becomes more relevant when the tank itself has failed, the unit repeatedly needs significant repairs, or fixing the existing heater would not leave it dependable.

The decision should come from the actual condition of the water heater rather than simply from its age or the fact that it stopped working.

For replacement and new installation information, visit our water heater installation and replacement page.
