"We had to replace our sump pump in the basement One of the quickest appointments ever! Jacob came in 2 hours on a Saturday as promised. Very pleasant and professional! He happened to have just the pump we needed and right away did the job! He also told my husband where to get a faucet part my husband was looking for! Very good service. Can’t say anything about the pricing since we have no quotes to compare with since we were getting appointments days or weeks later!!! But didn’t seem outrageous There was also no pressure Would highly recommend this company Thanks Jacob. Now we shall wait for a heavy downpour to see the sump pump work!!!"

Water heater repair or services FAQs

Flushing your water heater helps prevent mineral deposits from building up. It removes sediment that would otherwise insulate the heating element and slow heat transfer. Proactive maintenance ensures that your water heater maintains a consistent temperature while operating efficiently and extends its lifespan so you have a long-term, dependable hot water source.

Plan on flushing your water heater once a year. If you have hard water with high calcium levels, consider flushing it twice a year to keep it running smoothly. Regular flushing helps prevent sediment buildup, ensures that reliable hot water is readily available, and extends the life of your water heater.

If you notice unusual noises from your water heater, inconsistent water temperatures, rusty or cloudy water, leaks near the drain valve, or higher utility bills, it's time to flush your water heater. These signs indicate that sediment buildup is affecting your heater’s performance. Professional flushing service can help restore your water heater’s efficiency and prevent further issues.
