Residential & Commercial Tank Water Heater Repair & Installation in Millbrae

In Millbrae, 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.

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

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

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

Common issues we solve for Millbrae homeowners include:

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

- 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.

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

To improve performance and reliability, we often recommend:

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

- Insulating hot water lines helps maintain temperature to distant fixtures and reduces energy loss.

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

Every Millbrae 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.
