Water Heater Repair for Brainerd-Area Homes

When hot water runs out too quickly or a water heater leaks, the cause may be a failed part, a connection or the unit itself. Fitch Plumbing & Heating handles water heater repair and installation for Brainerd-area homes.

A service visit starts with the symptom: no hot water, inconsistent temperature, unusual sound or visible moisture. Repair can involve accessible components and connections. If a new unit is the appropriate path, installation needs to fit the home’s plumbing and venting conditions.

Helpful Answers

Water Heater Repair Questions From Homeowners

Can a leaking water heater be repaired?

Some leaks are from replaceable connections, while a leaking tank may call for a different plan. The source of the water needs to be found before a repair decision is made.

Do you install water heaters too?

Yes. Fitch also installs water heaters. Call with the type of unit you have and the issue you are seeing so the project can be discussed.

Why is my hot water inconsistent?

The cause can involve the unit, its controls or the demand placed on it. Note when the water turns cool and whether the change affects every fixture, then share that when you call.
