Water Heater Repairs and Installations

A sudden loss of hot water can transform a blissfully hot shower into a chilly experience. Roto-Rooter’s skilled Santa Cruz plumbing technicians can quickly restore the warmth to your hot water supply.

Call us if you notice any of the following water heater warning signs:

  • Reduced hot water supply: A decrease in hot water availability is often due to sediment buildup in the tank, a malfunctioning heating element, or a leak.

  • Leaks around the tank base: Leaks around the bottom of a water heater can signify a serious issue, including the possibility of a hole in the tank.

  • Temperature and pressure relief valve ejecting water: This safety feature releases water to prevent the tank from exploding in the event of excessive pressure or temperature increases. If you notice this valve ejecting water, call Roto-Rooter immediately for professional assistance.

  • Strange noises from the water heater: Strange sounds from your water heater may indicate sediment buildup, a faulty heating element, or a leak.

  • Discolored hot water: This can be caused by rust or other contaminants.

  • Water heater runs more often: If your water heater runs more often than usual, have it serviced as soon as possible.

Don't wait for your water heater to give up on you. Call Roto-Rooter at 831-704-4900 or book an appointment using our online scheduling form. Our experienced plumbers in Santa Cruz have the knowledge, tools, and expertise to diagnose and resolve your water heater issues quickly and efficiently.

My Original guy Steve who came out and recommended that I replace a pipe was great, then I had to deal with someone else after I scheduled the replace of ... the pipe who charged me and only band aided it. I finally was able to get Steve back here after a month of going back and forth and this guy went over and beyond to make everything right for me. He is a stand up guy and in my opinion deserves a raise.

I wanted to commend RotoRooter specifically Aaron the man sent to help us with our plumbing problem.(Toilet) He came on time, was very careful to close our door firmly each ... time he went in and out to his truck. I commented that most people aren't so considerate and he said he saw we have a small dog and wanted to be sure she didn't get out! I've had friends that can't seem to get that right even after telling them to keep the door shut! He was professional, Gave us great service and information. He was a company man and seemed proud of his job and the people he worked for Not so common these days!
