Emergency Water Heater FAQs for Charleston and Mount Pleasant
What counts as a water heater emergency?
An active leak or water pooling around the base, a gas smell near the unit, a carbon monoxide alarm, scalding or wildly fluctuating temperatures, a burning electrical odor, or a household with no hot water at all. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas company first, then call us.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
Shut off the cold water supply valve on top of the water heater, then cut power at the breaker for an electric unit or turn the gas control to off for a gas unit. Move anything valuable away from the water and put down towels. Do not try to drain or relight the unit yourself if you are not sure how.

Can you replace a failed water heater the same day?
Often, yes. We stock common tank sizes and carry emergency parts, so if the tank has failed we can usually remove it and install a new one the same day. If your setup calls for a special-order unit or a conversion, we will get you safely shut down and give you a clear plan and timeline.

Yes. Whatever time we arrive, we diagnose the problem first and give you an upfront, flat-rate quote before any work begins, so you can say yes with the full picture.
