    Licensed & Insured CSLB #1104288

    When to Call for Emergency Service

    • No hot water on a tank unit
    • Leaking tank or connections
    • Water pooling around the unit
    • Gas smell near the unit (stop — call PG&E first at 1-800-743-5000, then us)
    • Error codes on tankless
    • Pilot light won't stay lit
    • Burst T&P valve
    • Scalding hot water from fixtures
    • Loud banging or rumbling

    What To Do Before We Arrive

    • Shut off the cold-water supply valve on top of the tank
    • Turn off gas at the unit (or power at the breaker for electric/heat pump)
    • Open a hot tap to relieve pressure
    • Place towels or a bucket under any leak
    • Do NOT attempt to relight the pilot if you smell gas

    Common Silicon Valley Causes

    In the Bay Area, we frequently see T&P valve failures caused by hard-water sediment buildup, as well as corroded tank bottoms in units that are 12+ years old. Hard water accelerates scale formation, which can quickly compromise the integrity of older tanks and components.

    For electric tanks, failed heating elements are a common culprit when you suddenly lose hot water. On newer, high-efficiency tankless systems, we often diagnose flame-sensor or flow-sensor failures, as well as ruptured flex connectors that lead to unexpected leaks.

    Our Emergency Response

    We offer rapid, same-day response within our service area during business hours, and next-morning priority for overnight calls. We price all emergency calls transparently, meaning you'll know the exact cost before we start any work—no hidden fees or surprise upcharges.

    Our first truck arrives fully stocked with common replacement parts, advanced diagnostic tools, and even a backup tank for total failures. We come prepared to solve the problem on the spot, minimizing your downtime and restoring your hot water as quickly as possible.
