Residential & Commercial Tank Water Heater Repair & Installation in Foster City

In Foster City, 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.

Garage installs get drain pans with proper drainage; interior installs get pans, leak alarms, and expansion
tanks.

Hillside properties and long plumbing runs often require higher BTU models to improve recovery times.

Common issues we solve for Foster City homeowners include:

- Intermittent hot water points to thermostat, gas control, or pilot assembly issues.

- Discolored or rusty hot water can signal a failing anode rod or tank corrosion.

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

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

To improve performance and reliability, we often recommend:

- Upgrading to high‑recovery gas models reduces wait times and improves comfort for busy households.

- 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.

Every Foster City 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.
