Water heater replacement
in Little Rock, AR

Your water heater is 10 years old or older. Even if it seems fine now, start planning for replacement. Water heaters this age can fail without much warning, leaving you without hot water and potentially causing water damage. Replacing it before it fails gives you time to choose what you want instead of rushing into an emergency purchase.

The tank is leaking water. Small amounts of water around the base mean the tank has corroded through. This will only get worse. Once a tank starts leaking, replacement is your only option. Don't wait - a small leak can become a flood that damages your floors and belongings.

You see rust in your hot water or on the outside of the tank. Rust means corrosion has set in. The inside of your tank is deteriorating, and leaks will follow soon. Rusty water also means you're bathing in and drinking water contaminated with rust particles.

You're constantly running out of hot water. Sediment has filled so much of your tank that there's less space for hot water. Flushing might help temporarily, but in older tanks, sediment has often hardened into a thick layer that won't flush out completely.

Your energy bills keep climbing. Old water heaters lose efficiency as sediment builds up and parts wear out. The heater works harder and uses more energy to heat the same amount of water. A new efficient unit brings your bills back down.

You've had multiple repairs in the past year. Frequent repairs mean your water heater is dying piece by piece. The cost of constant repairs quickly adds up to more than replacement would cost, and you're still stuck with an old failing unit.

Strange noises are getting louder. Popping, banging, and rumbling sounds mean sediment has hardened at the bottom of your tank. This sediment damages the tank from the inside and makes the heating process less efficient.

Replacing your water heater eliminates the constant worry about when it will fail. You get a new unit with a fresh warranty covering you for the next 6 to 12 years depending on the model. No more wondering if today is the day your water heater floods your garage.

You get reliable hot water again. A new water heater heats water properly, maintains consistent temperature, and provides enough hot water for your household's needs. Your showers stop running cold halfway through, and you can run the dishwasher and washing machine without depleting your hot water.

Your energy costs drop significantly. Modern water heaters are much more efficient than units from 10 or 15 years ago. Better insulation, improved heating elements, and smarter thermostats all combine to use less energy. Many homeowners see their water heating costs drop 20 to 30 percent with a new unit.

You eliminate leak risk and potential water damage. Old water heaters can dump 40 to 50 gallons of water on your floor when they rupture. This damages floors, walls, stored items, and anything else nearby. A new water heater removes this threat for the next decade.

You can upgrade to better features. Maybe you want a larger tank so you never run out of hot water. Or a tankless system that heats water on demand. Or a high-efficiency model that saves even more on energy bills. Replacement is your chance to get exactly what your household needs instead of just keeping what you had.

The new unit requires less maintenance. Modern water heaters are built better and last longer. They still need annual flushing and basic maintenance, but they're more reliable and have fewer problems than older units had.

Let's talk about water heaters. Most people don't think about them until they stop working. But here in Arkansas, with our humid summers and cold winters, a working water heater isn't just about comfort. It's about your daily life functioning the way it should.

We install all types of water heaters in Little Rock and the surrounding areas. Whether you live in the Heights, West Little Rock, or out near Maumelle, we can get to you. Tank water heaters, tankless systems, gas or electric. We handle them all.

Here's what most people don't know: your water heater probably needs replacing before it completely dies. If your unit is over 10 years old, making weird noises, or taking longer to heat up water, you're on borrowed time. Many people wait until it fails completely, which usually means coming home to water damage or having no hot water for days while waiting for parts.

When we install a new water heater, we don't just swap the old one for a new one. We check your home's setup, talk about your hot water needs (big family? guests often? lots of laundry?), and help you pick the right size. A water heater that's too small means you run out of hot water. One that's too big wastes energy and money every month.

The Hillcrest neighborhood has a lot of older homes with original plumbing. The process for replacing water heaters usually takes about 3-4 hours. Newer homes in Chenal Valley or Maumelle sometimes need different setups, especially if they have specific builder requirements.

If you need a full replacement, a new water heater can usually be installed within 24-48 hours.

Some plumbing problems can wait until Monday morning. Others can't.

A toilet that won't stop overflowing? That's an emergency. A burst pipe spraying water everywhere? You need help now. A backed-up drain flooding your basement? That needs attention right away.

We handle emergency plumbing calls for Little Rock homeowners. We're not available 24/7, but we respond quickly during business hours and can often get to you same-day.

The thing about plumbing emergencies is they always happen at the worst time. Saturday night before you're hosting Sunday brunch. Right before you leave for vacation. Five minutes after you put your kids to bed.

When you call, we'll ask you some questions about what's happening. Sometimes we can walk you through a quick fix to stop the immediate problem until we can get there. Other times, you need to shut off your water right away to prevent damage.

If you've got water spraying everywhere, find your main water shut-off valve. In most Little Rock homes, it's near where the water line comes into your house, often in the basement or on an exterior wall. Turn it clockwise until it stops. That turns off all the water to your house and stops the flooding.

Nobody plans for their toilet to overflow or their drain to back up. But when it happens, you need someone who can get there fast and actually fix it, not just temporarily clear it so it backs up again next month.

We work all over the greater Little Rock area. From the historic homes in Quapaw Quarter to the newer developments in Maumelle and Conway. Each area has its own plumbing quirks.

Older neighborhoods often have galvanized pipes or cast iron that's reaching the end of its life. Newer areas might have builder-grade fixtures that need upgrading. And everywhere in between has water heaters that eventually wear out and drains that eventually clog.

Your plumbing keeps your home running. Hot showers, clean dishes, flushing toilets, washing clothes, all of that depends on everything working right. When something goes wrong, you need someone who can fix it quickly and do it right the first time.

That's what we do. No fancy marketing language. Just reliable plumbing service from people who actually live and work in Little Rock. Give us a call when you need a new water heater installed, when your drains are acting up, or when you've got any plumbing problem that needs fixing.
