When a tank ruptures, the water damage caused by leaking tanks can be devastating, cascading into apartments below.

To prevent emergencies, we recommend annual flushing to remove scale. Return to our Leak Detection in Manhattan, NY page for more on water damage, and check out our Service Areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Why do I have absolutely no hot water?

  No hot water usually stems from a failed pilot light on a gas unit, a tripped breaker or burned-out heating element on an electric unit, or a broken thermostat preventing the burner from igniting.

• Can a leaking water heater be repaired?

  It depends on the source. If a valve or supply pipe is leaking, it can be repaired. However, if the inner tank itself has rusted through and is leaking from the bottom, the entire unit must be replaced.

• What is an indirect water heater?

  An indirect water heater does not have its own burner. Instead, it utilizes the heat generated by your main boiler to heat the domestic water inside the tank via a heat exchanger coil.
