When Your Water Heater Quits, Your Day Falls Apart.

Cold showers, dishes piling up, worried about a leaking tank soaking your basement — a broken water heater turns normal life into a stressful scramble. You shouldn’t have to juggle buckets, boil water on the stove, or guess whether it’s safe to leave the house.

The Pain: No Hot Water & Hidden Damage

  • Cold or lukewarm water, even with the dial turned all the way up.
  • Rusty water, popping noises, or a burning smell coming from the tank.
  • Water on the floor near the heater and fear of major water damage.
  • Worry that a small issue could turn into a flooded basement overnight.

Why acting fast matters

A Failing Water Heater Isn’t Just Inconvenient — It Can Be Dangerous.

Ignoring water heater issues can lead to costly damage and safety hazards. Addressing problems early keeps your family comfortable, your home protected, and your energy bills under control.

Protect Your Home from Leaks & Flooding

Small drips at the base of your water heater can quickly become a full tank leak, soaking flooring, drywall, and anything stored nearby. Catching it early can save thousands in repairs.

Keep Your Hot Water Safe

Rusty or discolored hot water can be a sign of tank corrosion. Temperature swings can scald or shock you in the shower. Proper repair keeps your water clean and the temperature consistent.

Lower Bills & Avoid Surprise Breakdowns

When your water heater struggles, it often runs longer and wastes energy. Fixing failing parts or replacing an inefficient unit can lower monthly bills and prevent late-night emergencies.

What’s really going on inside the tank?

See How a Water Heater Problem Starts — and How We Fix It.

Even simple issues like lukewarm water often trace back to very specific components inside your water heater. We use meters, cameras, and experience to find the real source of the problem instead of just guessing.

  • No hot water: Often a failed heating element, pilot, gas valve, or thermostat — we test each part so you’re not replacing things blindly.
  • Rust & noise: Sediment and corrosion inside the tank reduce capacity and efficiency; flushing and inspection show whether repair or replacement is smarter.
  • Leaking tank: When the tank itself is compromised, we help you choose a right-sized replacement and handle code-compliant installation.

Questions, answered

Water Heater Repair FAQ.

Do you offer same-day water heater repair?

Yes. If you’re out of hot water or dealing with an active leak, we treat it as a priority. In many cases we can send a technician the same day you call or schedule online, and we’ll always be honest about our earliest available arrival window.

Can you repair both gas and electric water heaters?

We service both gas and electric water heaters, including standard tanks and many tankless models. Your technician will confirm the make, model, and fuel type and let you know exactly what’s needed to get it working safely again.

How long does a typical water heater repair take?

Most repairs take between 60–90 minutes once we have the part on-site. Some issues are even faster, while more complex situations may take longer. We’ll give you an estimated timeline before we begin so you can plan your day.

Will you tell me if it’s smarter to replace instead of repair?

Absolutely. If your unit is old, badly rusted, or unsafe, we’ll walk you through the pros and cons of repair vs. replacement and let you decide what’s best. You’ll see the pricing and warranties for both options so there are no surprises.

Do you haul away the old water heater if I need a new one?

Yes. If you choose a replacement through Omaha Drain, we remove and dispose of your old equipment, install the new unit to code, and clean up the work area before we leave.
