No hot water? Leaking tank? Licensed and insured plumbers repair and replace tank and tankless water heaters in Bothell, with 24/7 emergency service.
Drain and Plumbing Service Bothell WA Drain and Plumbing Service Bothell WA repairs and replaces water heaters for homes and businesses in Bothell and surrounding areas. We work on both traditional tank and tankless systems and can help with common problems such as no hot water, inconsistent temperatures, leaks, rusty water and unusual noises.
If a repair no longer makes sense, we can walk you through replacement options for your household's needs and install the new unit to meet local plumbing requirements. Emergency service is available 24/7, including for leaking or failed water heaters that cannot wait.
A tank water heater stores and keeps a set volume of water hot. A tankless unit heats water on demand, so it does not run out in the same way, but it generally costs more up front and needs the right gas or electrical supply and venting. Our guide compares them: repair or replace a water heater.
If you smell gas, leave the building and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. If a tank is leaking near electrical equipment, shut off power to the unit at the breaker and the water supply at the cold-water shut-off valve, then call a plumber.

The cost depends on the problem and, for replacements, the type, capacity and efficiency of the unit and how complex the installation is. Tankless systems generally cost more up front than traditional tanks. We provide a free estimate with your options before any work begins.
A standard tank replacement can often be completed in a single visit, while tankless installations, conversions from tank to tankless, and jobs that need new venting, gas or electrical work take longer. We will tell you what to expect once we have seen your setup.
Common signs include no hot water, inconsistent temperatures, rusty water, unusual noises, visible leaks, an older unit (tank water heaters often start to fail after about 10 years), rising energy bills or frequent repairs. An inspection can help determine whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
As a rule of thumb, a minor repair on a newer unit usually makes sense, while an older tank that is leaking, rusting or needing repeated repairs is often better replaced. We will inspect the unit and explain your options.
Rumbling, popping or banging usually comes from sediment collected at the bottom of the tank that traps water and boils under it. Flushing can help in some cases, but a heavily scaled tank may be near the end of its life.
It depends on your household's hot-water use, the available space and the cost of any gas, venting or electrical upgrades. Tankless units heat water on demand, while tanks are simpler and typically cost less up front. We can walk you through both.
