Water Heaters

Trusted Traditional and Tankless Water Heater Repair

Is your old water heater failing, leaking or using too much energy?

No matter if it operates on propane, natural gas or electricity, Souza & Viviani Plumbing Co. in San Leandro offers professional and affordable water heater repair and replacement. Most water heaters have the same common parts: a drain valve, a cold water inlet, a sacrificial anode rod, a dip tube and a pressure-relief valve. Each of these parts requires proper maintenance in order to remain in good working order. Our residential, commercial and industrial water heater Maintenance service ensures this. If you are replacing the tank because it is too old or leaking, then you might want to upgrade to a tankless unit in order to save money by heating water only when you need it. Our replacement and installation services are just what you need. We even provide removal and disposal of your old unit.

Common Problems That May Require Maintenance

Most water heaters suffer from one of several common problems. If water doesn’t stay hot, it could mean the heating element isn’t working properly or that you have a bad thermostat. Do you have no hot water at all? Check the pilot light on a gas unit and the red reset button on an electric one, and then call us if these don’t fix the issue. Maybe you have a leaky pressure relief valve, a leaky drain port or water is taking too long to heat. We can repair these problems before they turn into a costly replacement. However, if your water heater is more than five years old, you should consider replacing it anyway to ensure you have the most energy-efficient and safest model.
