FAQs
What should I do first if my water heater starts leaking?
Turn off the water and power to the unit immediately. Locate the cold-water shut-off valve (usually above the heater) and close it. For electric models, switch off the circuit breaker; for gas models, turn the gas control knob to the off position. Then place towels or a bucket to catch water, and call our Mulberry emergency plumbing team. Quick action limits water damage and makes repairs faster and safer.
How fast can your technicians reach my home in Mulberry during an emergency?
Our on-call plumbers are stationed within Polk County and can typically arrive anywhere in Mulberry in 60 minutes or less—day or night. We dispatch the closest certified technician as soon as your call comes through and keep you updated with an accurate ETA via text or phone.
Should I drain my water heater before you arrive?
Only drain the heater if the leak is severe and you can do so safely. If you are unsure how to attach a hose to the drain valve or the unit is too hot to touch, wait for our technician. Incorrect draining can cause scalding, damage flooring, or worsen sediment issues.
What warning signs mean my water heater needs emergency service?
Call us right away if you notice any of these: a sudden lack of hot water, water pooling around the base, popping or banging noises, rust-colored or foul-smelling water, a burning smell near the unit, or the temperature & pressure (T&P) relief valve continuously discharging. These symptoms can point to pressure buildup, electrical faults, or tank failure—issues that can’t wait.
Are emergency water-heater repairs covered under my manufacturer warranty or homeowners insurance?
Most manufacturer warranties cover parts that fail within the warranty period but may not cover labor for after-hours service. Homeowners insurance usually covers water damage from a sudden rupture but not the cost of replacing a worn-out heater. We provide detailed invoices and can help you document the incident so you can file any eligible claims.
Do you handle both gas and electric water heaters, including tankless models, after hours?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers are trained to service conventional tank-type, tankless, hybrid heat-pump, and both gas and electric units 24/7. We travel with common replacement parts—thermocouples, heating elements, thermostats, valves, and flex connectors—to complete most emergency repairs on the first visit.
