Licensed Master Plumber in Brownwood, TX

The most common causes are a failed heating element (electric) or a bad thermocouple/gas valve (gas). Sediment buildup in the tank can also reduce heating efficiency over time. If your water heater is getting older (tanks usually last about 8–15 years) and the repair cost is significant, replacement is usually the better investment. Our technicians will diagnose the issue and give you an honest recommendation.

In Central Texas, the most common causes are corroded galvanized pipes restricting flow, a failing pressure regulator, a partly closed shut-off valve, or well pump issues on rural properties. If the pressure drop is sudden, it could indicate a leak. If it's gradual, mineral buildup in old pipes is the likely culprit — and repiping may be the long-term fix.

A sewer smell usually means a dried-out P-trap (run water in unused drains), a cracked or disconnected vent pipe, or a damaged wax ring under a toilet. It can also indicate a sewer line issue. Don't ignore it — sewer gas contains methane and hydrogen sulfide. We can run a sewer camera inspection to find the source quickly.

Common signs include a spike in your water bill, the sound of running water when nothing is on, warm spots on the floor, damp carpet, or cracks in the foundation. We use Gen-Ear acoustic detection and Ridgid NaviTrack line location equipment to pinpoint the leak's exact location without tearing up your floor unnecessarily.

A standard tank water heater usually lasts about 8–15 years, depending on water quality and upkeep. If yours is in that range and needs a major repair (like a new tank or gas valve), replacement usually makes more sense. If it's younger and the fix is minor — like an element or thermostat — repair is the better call. We'll give you the repair cost vs. replacement cost so you can make an informed decision.

Yes. Tankless water heaters provide endless hot water and use less energy than traditional tanks. Installation typically requires upgrading the gas line (for gas models) or the electrical panel (for electric). We'll assess your home's hot water demand and utility connections to recommend the right unit and ensure the installation meets code.
