Leaking right now?
Do this before we get there.
A leaking or failed water heater can flood a Charlotte basement in minutes. Take these three steps right now while we're on our way.
1
Shut off the water supply
Turn the cold-water shut-off valve on top of the tank clockwise until it stops. No valve there? Shut off the main at the meter.
2
Kill the power or gas
Electric: flip the water-heater breaker off. Gas: turn the dial on top of the gas valve to OFF. This stops the tank from heating an empty or damaged shell.
3
Open a hot tap on an upper floor
Relieves pressure and slows the leak. Then grab towels and call us — we'll talk you through anything else while we're driving.
Repair or replace?
Don't pour money into a dying tank.
Repair makes sense if…
- ✓Tank is under 8 years old
- ✓Failed thermocouple, ignitor or heating element
- ✓Pilot light won't stay lit
- ✓Bad thermostat or upper/lower element
- ✓Loose gas valve, T&P valve or anode rod
- ✓Repair cost is under 40% of a new install
Replace it now if…
- →Tank is 10+ years old
- →Water around the base or rusty water at the tap
- →Tank is corroded, bulging or leaking from the body
- →Repeated repairs in the last 12 months
- →Tank is undersized — running out of hot water daily
- →Energy bill keeps climbing for no reason

Repair FAQ
Answers, fast
How much does water heater repair cost in Charlotte?+
Most Charlotte repairs land between $189 and $349 flat, depending on the part. We quote in writing before any work begins — no hourly billing.
Can you repair my water heater the same day?+
Yes — that's our specialty. Call before 3pm and we're almost always at your door the same day, often within 60–90 minutes.
My water heater is leaking — is it an emergency?+
Yes. Shut off the water supply and the power/gas, then call us. We'll talk you through it while a tech is dispatched.
Do you repair gas, electric and tankless water heaters?+
All three, plus hybrid heat-pump units. We stock parts for Rheem, A.O. Smith, Bradford White, Navien, Rinnai and Noritz.
Pilot light keeps going out — what's wrong?+
Usually a failing thermocouple or dirty pilot assembly. Both are same-day fixes covered under our diagnostic + minor repair pricing.
Do you charge a callout fee?+
Never. $0 to show up. You only pay when you approve the flat-rate repair price.
When does it make more sense to replace instead of repair?+
If the tank is 10+ years old, leaking from the body, or the repair cost exceeds 40% of a new install, we'll say so honestly.
