Water softener install. They tested our water first rather than just selling a unit, and sized it accordingly. Fixtures have stayed clean since.

Water Heater Repair in Washington, Iowa
Cold showers get old fast. Most Washington water heater calls come down to a handful of parts - a thermocouple that will not hold the pilot, a burnt-out element, a thermostat drifting out of range, or a temperature and pressure valve weeping. Those are same-day repairs. What we will not do is sell you a new tank when a forty dollar part fixes the one you have.
Call (833) 435-9778 and describe what is happening. We will give you an arrival window before you hang up and a flat price before anyone starts work - the same price at 2am as at 2pm.

Hard water is the quiet problem here
Water across much of Washington County carries enough mineral to scale the bottom of a water heater and fur up fixtures within a few years. If your Washington tank has started rumbling or your hot water runs out sooner than it used to, sediment is usually why. A flush and an anode check often buys years, and a softener stops the cycle.

Water Heater Repair in Washington: common questions
Is it worth repairing my water heater or should I replace it?
Under eight years old with a single failed part, repair almost always wins. Past twelve, with a leaking tank body, replacement is the only real option - a rusted-through tank cannot be patched. We give you both numbers for your Washington home and let you choose.
Can you fix a water heater the same day in Washington?
Usually yes. Our trucks carry thermocouples, elements, thermostats, gas control valves and T&P valves, so most Washington repairs finish on the first visit with hot water back before we leave.
My water heater is leaking - is that an emergency?
If water is coming from the tank body itself, yes, call (833) 435-9778 now and shut off the water supply to the heater. If it is dripping from a fitting or the T&P valve, it is urgent but not a flood risk, and we can usually be out the same day.
Why does my hot water run out so fast in Washington?
Most often sediment has stolen capacity from the bottom of the tank, or a lower element has failed on an electric heater so only the top half heats. Both are repairable. A dip tube that has broken down will do it too.
Can you tell me what is wrong over the phone?
Often we can narrow it down, and sometimes we can tell you it is something you can fix yourself in five minutes. We would rather do that than send a truck you did not need.
