What West Hattiesburg homeowners want to know about water heater replacement — answered by our licensed plumbers.
Replace your water heater in West Hattiesburg when it is over 10 to 12 years old, produces rusty or discolored water indicating internal corrosion, leaks from the tank body, requires frequent repairs, or no longer meets your household hot water demand. A water heater approaching these conditions often fails unexpectedly — replacement before failure avoids an emergency.
Extend the life of your new water heater in West Hattiesburg by flushing the tank annually to remove sediment, replacing the anode rod every 3 to 5 years, setting the thermostat to 120°F to reduce mineral buildup and tank stress, and inspecting the T&P valve annually.

"Professional and highly experienced! Will call again for all my plumbing needs!!"
"Had an under-slab water line burst. They came out that day, capped off the bad line and restored water to the rest of the house, then rerouted the water line through the attic with minimal drywall damage. Very clean, respectful, knowledgeable, and professional. Only plumber I will ever call."
"My water heater started leaking at 7am and by 2pm I had a new water heater installed. Thank you so much — incredibly fast and professional service!"
