A leaking water heater can cause water damage, mold growth, and in gas units, potential gas hazards if the leak affects combustion. Turn off the power and water supply to the unit and call Pipe Masters for immediate service in Ludlow.
Tank water heaters in Ludlow typically last 8 to 12 years. Tankless units can last 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance. Factors like water hardness, usage, and maintenance schedule affect lifespan. Pipe Masters can evaluate your unit and estimate remaining life.
If your water heater is under 8 years old and the repair cost is under half the replacement cost, repair usually makes sense. Units over 10 years old with tank leaks or frequent problems are typically better replaced. Our Ludlow plumbers give you an honest assessment.
Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Pipe Masters for their plumbing needs.
"Hired them to install a new shower system during our master bath renovation. They moved the supply lines, set the new valve, and added a rain head. The tile guy said the rough-in was perfect."
"We used Pipe Masters for a whole-house repipe. Old galvanized pipes were failing everywhere. They mapped out the entire job, finished in three days, and the water pressure difference is night and day."
"Sink in the guest bathroom was draining so slowly it was basically unusable. They cleared the p-trap and found it was packed with years of buildup. Drains like new and they cleaned up after themselves."
