FAQs
What should I do first if my water heater is leaking in Englewood?
Turn off the cold-water supply valve located on the water heater’s inlet line, shut off power to the unit (electric breaker or gas shut-off), and call our 24/7 emergency line. Quick isolation limits water damage and allows our technician to repair or replace the unit safely once on site.
How fast can an emergency plumber reach my Englewood home?
Because we keep fully stocked service trucks in and around Arapahoe County, a licensed plumber can usually be at your door within 60–90 minutes of your call—often faster for addresses inside Englewood city limits.
Are emergency water heater services more expensive than scheduled visits?
Emergency service rates are slightly higher to cover overtime labor and immediate dispatch, but we cap our after-hours diagnostic fee and always provide a written quote before work begins. If a full replacement is required, we credit the emergency fee toward the installation cost.
Can you repair all types of water heaters during an emergency?
Yes. Our technicians carry common parts for gas, electric, tankless, and hybrid heat-pump water heaters. We can handle thermostat failures, relief-valve leaks, burner or element replacements, ignition issues, and venting problems on the spot. If specialty parts are needed, we install a temporary solution to restore hot water until the part arrives.
What are signs I should call for emergency service instead of waiting?
Call immediately if you notice: water pooling around the tank, hissing or boiling sounds, a rotten-egg or gas smell, water above 140 °F at the tap, visible rust on the tank seam, or a tripped T&P valve. These conditions can indicate tank rupture, scald risk, or gas leaks and require rapid professional attention.
Do you offer any warranty or guarantee on emergency repairs?
All emergency repairs carry the same 1-year parts and labor warranty as our regular work. New water heater installations include manufacturer warranties (6–12 years) plus our own 2-year labor guarantee. We also offer optional maintenance plans that extend coverage and include annual flushes and safety inspections.
