Replacing a Water Heater in Baytown
A water heater that leaks from the tank cannot be repaired. The tank has rusted through, and it will only get worse.
We replace gas and electric tank water heaters. The old one leaves with us.
Signs It Is Time for a New Water Heater
Water leaking from the tank itself
Rust in the hot water
It runs out of hot water sooner than it used to
Repairs are adding up
Rumbling that flushing does not fix
Rust or corrosion on the tank and fittings
What a Water Heater Replacement Includes
Drain and Remove
We drain the old tank, disconnect it and carry it out.
Set the New Heater
The new tank is set in a pan where one is required and connected to water and to gas or power.
Bring It to Code
Venting, the relief valve line and the shutoff are brought up to current code.
Haul Away
Removal and disposal of the old water heater are included.
Same Type or Something Different?
Most replacements are like for like: a new tank the same size and fuel as the old one. That is the fastest swap.
If you want more hot water, we can go up a size or move you to a tankless unit. We are a Bradford White Installer and a Rheem Pro Partner.

Water Heater Replacement Questions
A leak from the tank is the clear sign. Rusty hot water and a tank that needs repair after repair point the same way.

If you run out of hot water often, a larger tank or a tankless unit may help. We talk it through before we order.
