Water Heater Replacement in Pleasant Hills
Most tank water heaters last about 8 to 12 years. Once a tank starts leaking from the bottom, producing rusty water or running out of hot water faster than it used to, replacement is usually the smart move. Our plumbers handle water heater replacement from start to finish:
- Size the new unit to your household so you get enough hot water without paying to heat more than you use
- Remove and haul away the old tank
- Install new gas or electric units to code, including venting, gas connections, expansion tanks and relief valves
- Test the system and walk you through the controls before we leave
Most like-for-like replacements are finished the same day. If your water heater is newer and just acting up, our plumbers also provide water heater repair for thermostats, heating elements, gas valves and pilot problems.
Tank or Tankless?
Replacing a water heater is a good time to consider tankless. A tankless unit heats water on demand, so you don’t run out during back-to-back showers, and it can last 20 years with regular descaling. It costs more up front and may need gas line or venting upgrades, so we’ll price both options and help you decide. Flexible financing is available on qualifying equipment.
To get the most life out of a new tank, schedule water heater maintenance once a year. Flushing sediment keeps the burner or elements working efficiently and helps prevent the rumbling and early leaks that sediment buildup causes.
Trenchless Sewer Repair in Pleasant Hills
Many homes in the area have older clay or cast iron sewer laterals. Over the years, tree roots push into the joints, pipes crack or settle, and drains back up again and again. Traditional sewer repair means digging a trench through your lawn, landscaping or driveway. Trenchless sewer line repair fixes many of these problems through small access points instead, so your yard stays mostly intact.
How it works
- A sewer camera inspection shows the exact location and type of damage
- Hydro jetting clears roots, grease and scale so the pipe can be repaired
- We repair the line from the inside or replace it along the same path, depending on its condition
- A final camera pass confirms the line is flowing freely
Not every line qualifies for trenchless repair. Severely collapsed pipes or lines with major grade problems may still need traditional sewer line repair or replacement. The camera inspection tells us which approach fits, and you get a flat rate price before any work begins.
