Water heater leaking, failed, or making a gas smell? We dispatch 7 days a week for emergency water heater repair and same-day replacement when the unit can't be saved.

A water heater crosses from "inconvenience" to "emergency" in three situations. First: the tank is actively leaking from the bottom — the internal tank has corroded through and failure is imminent. A 50-gallon tank release can cause significant water damage. Second: you smell gas (rotten egg odor) near a gas water heater — a gas leak at the supply line, gas valve, or burner assembly is an explosion risk. Third: the T&P (temperature and pressure) relief valve is discharging hot water or steam — the tank pressure is too high, indicating a thermostat failure or a blocked expansion tank. All three situations require immediate professional attention.
For a leaking tank, the plumber shuts off the water and gas/electric supply, drains the tank if possible, and assesses whether repair is viable (rarely for a bottom-leaking tank). For gas smell, the plumber tests for gas leaks with a combustible gas detector, locates the source, and makes the repair — or shuts off the gas and isolates the unit if the repair can't be made immediately. For T&P discharge, the plumber checks the thermostat setting, expansion tank, and T&P valve to identify and correct the cause. When the water heater needs replacement, we source a matching unit from local suppliers and install it the same day in most cases.
Describe what's happening — leaking, gas smell, no hot water. If you smell gas, leave the area and call from a safe distance. We dispatch immediately.
The plumber shuts off water, gas, or electric supply to the unit, stabilizes the situation, and assesses the failure.
If the unit can be repaired (gas valve, thermostat, element, T&P valve), it's fixed on the spot. If the tank is compromised, we source a replacement and install it the same day when possible.
The repaired or replaced unit is tested for proper operation, checked for gas leaks if applicable, and the temperature is set correctly.
