Water Heater Installation & Repair – Epic Plumbing and Maintenance

Few things disrupt a household like a cold shower or a water heater leaking across the garage floor. Your water heater works silently every day until it doesn’t. When that moment comes, Epic Plumbing and Maintenance delivers fast diagnosis, honest recommendations, and expert installation or repair—all at fair, upfront pricing.

We work on all major brands and types of water heaters, including:

• Traditional tank water heaters (30, 40, 50, 75+ gallons)
• Tankless (on-demand) water heaters – gas or electric
• Heat pump water heaters (hybrid)
• Point-of-use water heaters (for sinks or remote bathrooms)
• Commercial/residential light-duty units

Water Heater Repair – We fix what’s broken

Not every problem requires a full replacement. We’ll honestly tell you if a repair makes sense or if replacement is the better long-term investment.

Common issues we repair:

• ❄️ No hot water or insufficient hot water
• 🔥 Fluctuating water temperatures (sudden cold bursts)
• 💧 Leaking tank or connections
• 🔊 Rumbling, popping, or hissing noises
• 🦠 Rusty or foul-smelling water
• ⚠️ Pilot light won’t stay lit (gas units)
• 🔌 Tripped reset button or blown element (electric units)
• 📉 Low water pressure from the heater

What a repair typically includes:

1. Complete diagnostic testing (thermostats, elements, gas valve, dip tube, anode rod)
2. Clear explanation of the problem and your options
3. Repair with manufacturer-approved parts
4. Safety check of pressure relief valve and venting (gas)
5. Final temperature adjustment to your preference (typically 120°F)
