Recent Lighthouse Point feedback
Answered on a holiday when nobody else would even pick up.
Water main leak in the front yard. Small hole, quick repair, and they raked the grass back over it before they left.
Toilet was overflowing and I was panicking. The dispatcher talked me through shutting the valve while the tech drove over. That alone saved my floors.

Water Heater Repair in Lighthouse Point: common questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
For an active leak, shut off the water. Most Lighthouse Point homes have a main shut-off near the meter at the street or on the wall where the service line enters. For a single fixture, use the small valve behind it. If you cannot find either, stay on the line and our dispatcher will talk you through it.
Are you a local plumber or a national call centre?
Calls are answered by our own dispatch, and the truck that arrives is ours. We work across Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding Broward cities, so the person on the phone knows the difference between a slab-on-grade neighbourhood and an older part of Lighthouse Point with cast iron still in the ground.
