Residential & Commercial Tank Water Heater Repair & Installation in Berkeley

In Berkeley, traditional tank water heaters remain a cost‑effective, dependable way to deliver steady hot
water. Our licensed plumbers right‑size systems for your fixtures, lifestyle, and available space, then
install to California Plumbing Code.

Older bungalows and mid‑century homes benefit from code upgrades like seismic strapping and new shut‑offs.

Large households with multiple bathrooms may need 75‑gallon tanks or recirculation to prevent cold‑water
delays.

Mixed housing stock in the area means we carry gas and electric models, plus light‑commercial options for
small businesses.

Common issues we solve for Berkeley homeowners include:

- Unstable water pressure and temperature swings can be reduced with expansion tanks and mixing valves.

- Insufficient hot water during peak usage is usually a sizing or recovery‑rate problem.

- Visible leaks or moisture near the base of the tank often mean the tank shell has failed.

- Popping or rumbling noises indicate sediment buildup and the need for flushing or replacement.

To improve performance and reliability, we often recommend:

- Proper flue venting and combustion air ensure safe, efficient operation in tight mechanical spaces.

- Annual flushing removes sediment, protecting heating elements and improving overall performance.

- Swap aging shut‑off valves with full‑port ball valves for easier service and better reliability.

Every Berkeley install includes clear pricing, permits when required, and careful cleanup. We handle haul‑away
of your old unit, test safety devices, and walk you through operation so you know exactly how your system
works.
