Water Heater, Boiler and Plumbing Repair for Our East Canton Neighbors

Water Heater Repair or Replacement

Water heaters are the most common piece of equipment we replace in East Canton. Many problems can be repaired: a bad thermostat or element on an electric unit, a failed thermocouple, igniter or gas valve on a gas unit, or a leaking relief or drain valve. A tank that is leaking from its body, or one so full of sediment that it cannot heat properly, needs to be replaced.

When replacement is the answer, we talk through the options:

• Tank water heaters in gas or electric, sized to your household's hot water use
• Tankless models that heat on demand and save floor space, with considerations for gas line size and venting
• Proper expansion tanks, relief valve discharge lines and shutoff valves installed with the new heater
• Removal of the old unit so it does not sit in your basement

Boilers and Hot Water Heating

Some older homes in the area are heated by hot water boilers feeding radiators or baseboard. These systems can last a long time with occasional repairs. Common fixes include replacing circulator pumps, zone valves, expansion tanks, relief valves, pressure-reducing fill valves and leaking piping. When a boiler's heat exchanger fails or repairs become frequent and costly, replacement may make more sense.

We explain what each repair involves and how it fits with the age and condition of the rest of the system, so you are not putting money into a boiler that is about to need replacing anyway.

For homes that also use the boiler for domestic hot water through an indirect tank, a failing tank or coil can look like a boiler problem. We check both before recommending which piece to repair or replace.

Gas Connections Done Properly

Gas water heaters, boilers, ranges and dryers all depend on a safe, properly sized gas supply. We repair and replace gas connectors, shutoff valves and sections of gas piping, and we test for leaks before anything is put back in service. When a new appliance needs more gas than the old line can supply, we can extend or upsize it. Our natural gas line service in East Canton covers that work in more depth.

Everyday Repairs, Close to Home

Beyond the big equipment, we handle the everyday repairs every house needs: faucets, toilets, shutoff valves, corroded pipe sections, outdoor spigots and garbage disposals. For homes on wells, we also replace pressure tanks and the valves and fittings around them.

The process starts with a free estimate. You approve the specifications, we complete the work, and we inspect it before we leave. If you are not sure what is wrong, our East Canton plumbing troubleshooting pinpoints it first. For water already on the floor, see our leak repair service.
