When It's Time to Replace
- Water pooling around the base. That usually means the tank itself has failed.
- A tank past its first decade and rusting from the inside.
- Rust colored hot water, or a tank that pops and rumbles. That's sediment from our hard water. Here's why it happens.
- Hot water that runs out sooner than it used to.
Many water heater problems are cheap to fix: a failed heating element, a bad thermocouple, a stuck valve. If a repair will get you a few more years, Joe will say so. More on water heater repair.
How Old Is Your Water Heater?
The serial number is on the sticker on the side of the tank. Pick the brand and type the serial number in.
That doesn't match a serial pattern we can read. Text Joe a photo of the sticker and he'll read it for you.
What a Replacement Includes
We take out the old unit, set the new one and connect the water and the gas or power. We set up proper venting, the expansion tank and drain pan, and seismic strapping where code requires it, and we haul off the old unit.
If the last install left out the expansion tank, the pan or proper venting, we add them and bring the setup up to code.
Brands we install: Bradford White and A. O. Smith tanks, plus A. O. Smith tankless units.
Same Size, Bigger, or Tankless
Most tanks around here hold 40 or 50 gallons, and a new one usually goes in right where the old one stood. If your family runs out of hot water, tell Joe. A bigger tank or a tankless unit may fit better.

From our water heater jobs
“Joe has came to save the day yet again for us! This was our 3rd time having been serviced by Messina Plumbing. Our water heater went out, and he was able to get permitted, and fixed within hours of coming out to look at it. He really strives to be honest, kind and reliable. I cannot recommend Messina plumbing enough! Glad i had him on speed dial.”
“Joe was dispatch by HSA to fix my water heater. He was professional, knowledgeable, and explained to me what the issue was. He worked with HSA to get my replacement in 3 day not three weeks like they wanted. He also told me to call him the first time i drain it and he would walk me through it! Above and beyond customer service! Thanks Joe!”
