What Lenoir homeowners want to know about water heater replacement — answered by our licensed plumbers.
Replace your water heater in Lenoir when it is over 10 to 12 years old, produces rusty or discolored water indicating internal corrosion, leaks from the tank body, requires frequent repairs, or no longer meets your household hot water demand. A water heater approaching these conditions often fails unexpectedly — replacement before failure avoids an emergency.
Tank water heaters cost less upfront and are simpler to install. Tankless units provide endless hot water on demand and typically have lower operating costs, but cost more initially.

"Had a slab leak that three other plumbers could not find. These guys located it in under an hour with their detection equipment and had it repaired the same day. Excellent work, fair price."
"Sewer line was backing up into my basement drain. They ran a camera and found tree roots 40 feet in. Hydro-jetted it clean and it has been flowing perfectly for months. Thorough diagnosis saved me a costly replacement."
"Gas line extended for a new outdoor grill connection. Permitted, inspected, done correctly. They explained the pressure testing process and made sure everything was up to code before leaving."
