The call we get most in Carbon Cliff is failing water heaters strained by cold inlet water.

Often just the failed section. If the surrounding pipe is still sound and the leak is isolated, a spot repair on your Carbon Cliff line is far cheaper than a full repipe.

When the pipe is old galvanized steel throughout, we'll walk you through why repiping pays off long term.

First check the basics: on a gas unit, see whether the pilot or burner is lit; on an electric unit, check the breaker and the reset button on the thermostat.

For a burst pipe, shut off your main water valve first, then call us — but repairs on gas water heaters, sewer lines, and pressurized supply lines are best left to a licensed plumber.
