"Burst pipe at 11 p.m. on a Sunday. They answered live, gave me a 45-minute ETA, and the tech (Mike) was at my door in 38 minutes. Quoted the repair flat-rate, fixed it, and cleaned up. Easy 5 stars."

What you get
Signs your water heater is failing
Rusty water, popping or rumbling sounds, water pooling under the tank, lukewarm-only showers, or a unit older than 10 years. Any one is a yellow flag; two is a near-certain replacement before it leaks across your basement floor.
Repair or replace?
If the tank is under 8 years old and the issue is a thermocouple, igniter, or heating element, repair almost always wins. Past 10 years, the math flips — efficiency loss and failure risk usually justify replacement. Your tech will show you both numbers in writing.
What we install
We stock 40 and 50-gallon gas and electric tanks from Bradford White, A.O. Smith, and Rheem on every truck, plus high-recovery models for large households. Considering tankless? See our tankless water heater page.

"Got three quotes for a tankless install. Davenport Plumbing wasn't the cheapest but they were the only ones who actually sized it for our gas line and explained why. Two years in, zero issues."

"Recurring main-line backups every spring. They camera'd it, showed me the root intrusion on video, and did trenchless pipe bursting in one day. My yard wasn't even touched."
