COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE FOR YOUR WATER HEATER NEEDS

We repair and maintain water heaters of all types, brands, and models. All of our vehicles are equipped with every part imaginable for our service technicians to perform efficient and quality service.

Water heaters are probably the appliances we take most for granted. They sit in the attic, basement, or closet, never to be looked at or touched unless something goes wrong. Maybe the pilot won’t light because of a bad thermocouple, maybe the heating elements are burnt out, or maybe the unit has just exceeded its lifespan. Whether or not the water heater can be repaired or needs to be replaced depends on what is specifically wrong with your unit.

The following indicators help us determine whether you’re in need of our Atlanta water heater repair specialists:

  • No hot water: A lack of hot water in your home can be caused by dozens of things, many of which have nothing to do with the water heater at all (ex. broken supply line, bad shower cartridge, etc.). That being said, there are a few standard causes to look for in the event your water is chilly. For electric units, the heating elements are the most common cause. Usually, they just need to be replaced after years of use. Heater thermostats also have a tendency to go out. For gas units, the pilot assembly, thermocouple, or gas supply may be the culprit. For both gas and electric units, it’s possible the valve on the outgoing hot water line is stuck shut (though that isn’t the most common issue you’ll find with units).
  • Flashes of cold water – If there’s a crack in your dip tube, the tube that’s responsible for bringing cold water into your water heater, then you’re going to get spurts of cold water along with your hot water. This isn’t a tricky fix, so give our Atlanta water heater repair professionals a call.
  • Unit leaking water: Leaking water heaters can indicate a range of issues, from corroded water tanks to loose valves, and more. If the unit is leaking, then that could be a problem with the relief valve, a bad fitting, a clogged rain line in the overflow pan, or that your tank has rusted all the way through. Most of these issues are pretty simple to fix, but if excessive rust is the problem, then it will have to be replaced immediately.
  • Reddish brown water – If you have this rusty discoloration in all of your water, then you should consider repiping. But if only your hot water has this discoloration then it’s probably your water heater. Ask your local Atlanta water heater repair pro how to best maintain your water heater’s anode rod so that you don’t have this problem in the future.
  • Hot water that smells – What’s most likely happening here is that the inside of your water heater tank is peeling and contaminating your water. This might just require a new tank and shouldn’t be a problem.
  • Unit making noise: If your water heater is making strange “popping” noises, then chances are your unit is on its last leg. These noises are a sign that sediment has collected inside of the tank, resulting in excessive heat and deterioration of the unit. If you hear this noise in your home, then make sure you start planning for your water heater replacement now.

Water Heater Leak Repair

  • Water heater leaks can originate from several areas and can occur for different reasons. Sometimes, these leaks will not affect the performance or function of the unit, and people choose to wait to replace or repair your water heater. In any case, it is important to note that, if not addressed immediately, a leaking water heater can cause extensive damage to your floors and sub-floors as well as promote the growth of mold and mildew.

    Depending on the type of water heater you have and where the leak is coming from, you will either need to repair or replace it. If the water heater is leaking from the bottom, this usually means there is a crack in the internal tank and your heater will need to be replaced. But if the leak comes from above, the water heater can most often be repaired. In generally, this kind of leak is caused by a malfunctioning plumbing part or fitting.

    In both cases, it is highly recommended that you call a professional plumber to deal with the problem. Our technicians will determine why your water heater is leaking, how serious the problem is, and discuss what we think is the best solution.

Water Heater Installation & Replacement

  • We install new units to meet and exceed all federal and local building safety codes. If a replacement is what you need, then we also offer removal services with our speedy installation.

    The types of water heaters we install include:

    • Traditional tank water heaters, including hot gas units. Our installations of these units include the units themselves, the water lines, the drain pans, the flues, and gas lines. When it comes to gas line, gas component, and flue ventilation installation, our plumbers are licensed to provide safe and quality service.
    • State-of-the-art tankless water heaters, which provide hot water on the spot. Tankless units are great because you don’t have to wait for the water to heat again if someone takes a long shower. Tankless units are increasing in popularity, and our plumbers are experts on all new heater technology.

"Reasonably Priced"

Very prompt, friendly, and professional services. Matt fixed my tub and toilet and got them to drain properly! He was very thorough, explained what the problem was and what he needed to do, worked very quickly and cleaned up all the mess after he finished leaving my bathroom looking better than it did before he started! Very reasonably priced too! I will definitely be using Zippy Plumber in the future and recommend them to friends and family!
- Magda S.

"Very Nice"

I contacted Zippy Plumber to come by my house to investigate whether I had a leak (my water bill had skyrocketed but I did not notice any signs of a leak). The plumber David was very nice and knowledgeable. He was thorough in his investigation and even gave me some tips for the future. He was able to narrow down the issue to the irrigation sprinklers in the yard and luckily I did not have a leak inside the house. If I do in the future, I now have someone I can rely on! Definitely recommend!
- Katie T.

"Lovely To Work With"

We called Zippy Plumber on a Sunday and they were fast to respond and at our house within a few hours. Sean and Tyler were particularly lovely to work with and made sure to show us the issue, what they planned to do, and even taught us some things. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone and will them again for any plumbing needs!
- Sarah S.

"Great, honest company!"

We used Matt and his team to replace our hot water heater that is in the attic. They did a great job and completed the work all in one day and it was Father’s Day weekend! We appreciated their help! We also contacted them for help with a clogged kitchen drain and Matt spent 20+ minutes talking us through different methods to help unclog the drain before having a plumber come out and incur a cost that might have been unnecessary. Great, honest company!
- Abby S.

"Efficient & Professional"

I needed to replace my disposal and started looking for a local plumber last night. After reading multiple five star reviews for Zippy Plumber I decided to give them a call today. I spoke with Matt and he was able to schedule an appointment for me later that evening. Matt arrived within the appointment window and had all the supplies necessary for the repair in his truck, which saved me a trip to Home Depot! Matt was very efficient and professional. He explained the problem, went over my options for replacing the disposal, and then showed me tips to take care of my new disposal. I would definitely recommend Zippy Plumber to a friend and will call them the next time I have a plumbing issue!
- Caroline D.

"Very Pleased"

Matt and his team came out quickly, gave me a fair price, and started on the job, and cleaned up afterward. Did a great job on replacing my water main pipe, and also gave me a warranty. I highly recommend them to everyone. Friendly, professional, and easy to talk to, also a great listener to your concern that I have going on with your plumbing. And they took care of the job in a timely manner. And I usually DO NOT give reviews at all. But I was very pleased with the work they did in my yard to repair my plumbing system. Last they put my yard back together where you couldn't tell they had been out there.
- Deborah B.

"Very Skilled"

We had a water main line leak. He fixed it and helped deal with the insurance to make things work smoothly. He also came by for free to check out a minor leak issue that I was having. Matt is honest, professional, and very skilled. I would recommend him for any major plumbing project you might have.
- Shawn T.

"Very Tidy"

I cannot recommend Zippy Plumber enough! David was very professional, careful, and thorough. He walked us through everything that he did which was extremely beneficial as a first-time homeowner. He was very tidy and left the bathroom spotless. I won’t hesitate to call them again should any issues arise.
- Peter B.

"Very High Quality"

I had a problem with a busted outdoor pipe and a nonfunctioning garbage disposal. I called Zippy, and within hours Matt and his team came to help. Matt was very knowledgeable and took the appropriate time to explain his recommendations. He and his team completed the work the same day, and the work product appears to be of very high quality. I would recommend Matt and the Zippy team.
- Joey K.

"You cannot go wrong!"

Matt Firtha is the licensed, master plumber who owns Zippy Plumbing. He just left my home (on a Saturday!) after repairing our sewer line and installing an outside release valve to prevent backup in our home. Matt is an experienced, thorough, affordable, and dedicated, young man. I highly recommend Matt and Zippy Plumbing. You cannot go wrong! I would rate him 100 stars if this site allowed it.
- David T.

"Flexible"

Matt and his awesome crew repaired a hole I had in my main drain. They were responsive in providing a quote (which was a great price!), they were very flexible in working with my schedule, and they completed the repair as described. Matt kept me up to date throughout the entire process, which I really appreciated. I cannot recommend Zippy Plumber enough!
- Christopher P.

"Highly Recommend"

We had a serious clog that caused the sewer to back up into our store. I called Matt and he was there within 30 minutes. Thanks to his high-tech equipment he was able to extract the object thus saving us tens of thousands of dollars and needing to chop up the floor to get to the problem! I highly recommend this company.
- Gerry P.

"Very Honest"

Matt was on time and very honest with me about the needed repairs. I would highly recommend using Zippy for any plumbing services needed.
- Matthew R.

"Great!"

Matt was great! My husband and I needed assistance right away due to a busted pipe. I told him the issue, and he was over within 30 minutes. He was pleasant and answered any questions that we had. Customer service was a 10/10!
- Ivy P.

"Friendly & Professional"

Matt was fantastic! He was able to fix my cold tub faucet in no time flat. He was friendly, professional, and helpful. I'll absolutely call them again whenever I have plumbing issue!
- Taylor H.

"Fantastic Job"

Matt and his team did a fantastic job repairing our main water line. Our house is set back about 200’ from the street with lots of clay and a small creek in between. Suffice to say, it was a varsity job that needed a real pro to carefully bore under our driveway without breaking up the concrete. Matt put together a careful plan, letting me know what he was doing every step of the way. He did it professionally and at a reasonable price. I’d highly recommend Zippy Plumber.
- Gabe S.

"Quality Service"

These folks came out super promptly on Christmas when we had a pipe burst after a big cold snap! Great, quality service and they were so sweet with my young kids. During this crazy time, I'm happy they were the ones who responded because they made such a horrendous experience as easy as possible.
- Holly M.

"100 Stars!"

Matt is the best! He got back to me in minutes and fit us in same day:) I can’t recommend him enough to anyone needing a plumber. Such a nice guy, knows what he’s doing, is affordable, and is super professional. 100 stars!
- Abby F.

"Highly Recommend"

I hired Matt (Zippy Plumber) to fix my leaking main water line a few months ago. He replaced it using a trenchless repair method. I am very happy with Matt's service, including his price, professionalism, and transparency. He also recently visited my house to help identify the source of an unrelated plumbing problem. I highly recommend Zippy Plumber.
- Steven M.

"Simply the best."

Matt is hands down the best plumber in Atlanta. He’s done work for us multiple times. He’s extremely skilled, knowledgeable, honest, and he doesn’t stop until the job is done perfectly. He follows up with you as well and is always there when you need him. I would recommend him for any major plumbing project you’re considering. Simply the best.
