Recent Altha feedback
Old polybutylene finally started leaking in three places. Repipe took two days and we had water every evening. Drywall cuts were neat and squared off.
They found the leak in twenty minutes with a listening device after I had spent a weekend guessing.
Weekend rate was the same as the number quoted on the phone. That never happens.

Water Heater Repair in Altha: common questions
How long should a water heater last in Florida?
Eight to twelve years for a standard tank, less where water is hard and the anode rod has never been changed. Tankless units run longer if they are descaled annually.
Hot water runs out faster than it used to. Why?
Usually sediment taking up volume in the tank, a failed lower element on an electric unit, or a dip tube that has broken up. All three are diagnosable in one visit.
Why does my water heater rumble or pop?
Sediment has settled on the bottom and water is boiling underneath it. A flush often fixes it. On a tank that has never been flushed and is over ten years old, it can also be a sign the end is near.
Water is pooling under my heater. Can it be repaired?
If it is coming from a fitting, the T&P valve or the drain valve, usually yes. If the tank itself has rusted through, no repair will hold and replacement is the only honest answer.
No hot water at all. Is the tank finished?
Not necessarily. On electric units a failed element or thermostat is the usual cause and both are inexpensive. On gas units it is often the thermocouple or gas valve. We test before quoting parts.
How much does a plumber cost in Altha?
Every job is quoted as a flat price for the work described, not an open-ended hourly rate. Drain clearing, water heater repairs and fixture work sit at the lower end. Sewer replacement, repipes and slab leak reroutes are larger jobs and get a written quote after a camera or leak location visit.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays in Altha?
You will always hear the after-hours number before you agree to anything. There is no surprise multiplier added at the end of the job. If waiting until the morning would save you money and the situation allows it, we will say so on the phone.
