Hot Water That Keeps Up With Your Household

Water heater installation and replacement for residential properties in Snellville, Georgia.

When your water heater starts leaking onto the garage floor or stops delivering hot water halfway through a shower in Snellville, it may be time to replace the unit before it fails completely. You might notice rust-colored water from your taps, strange popping sounds from the tank, or a puddle forming around the base. Action Septic Pro evaluates the age and condition of your water heater and helps you select a replacement that matches your household size, fuel type, and daily hot water needs.

Water heaters typically last eight to twelve years, and failure often results from sediment buildup inside the tank, a corroded anode rod, or a worn-out heating element. We disconnect the old unit, remove it from your home, and install a new water heater sized to deliver enough hot water for showers, laundry, dishwashing, and other daily tasks without running out. In Snellville, most homes use either electric or natural gas models installed in garages, basements, or utility closets. We connect the new unit to your existing plumbing and power supply, test for leaks, and verify that it heats water to the correct temperature before we leave.

Call today to replace or upgrade your water heater in Snellville.

What you get when we install your new unit

We begin by shutting off the water and power or gas supply to your old water heater, then drain the tank completely and disconnect the inlet and outlet lines. The old unit is hauled away, and the installation area is cleaned and inspected for any plumbing or venting issues that need attention. In Snellville, we often see water heaters installed in tight spaces, so we measure clearances and confirm that the new unit fits properly before bringing it into your home.

Once the new water heater is running, you will have consistent hot water for every fixture in your home without waiting for the tank to reheat between uses. Leaks disappear, water runs clear instead of rusty, and you no longer hear banging or popping sounds from the tank. Your household can take back-to-back showers, run the dishwasher, and do laundry without running out of hot water halfway through the cycle.

We test all connections for leaks, adjust the thermostat to a safe temperature, and walk you through basic maintenance steps to extend the life of your new unit. This service does not include upgrades to electrical panels, gas line extensions, or plumbing reconfigurations outside the immediate installation area. After installation, your water heater operates as intended, and your home returns to normal hot water availability.

We hear these questions on almost every job

Homeowners in Snellville often ask how long a water heater should last, what size they need, and whether they should repair or replace an aging unit. These are the answers that come up most often during water heater consultations.

How do I know if my water heater needs replacement?
If your unit is over ten years old, leaking water from the base, or producing rusty or discolored water, replacement is usually the best option. Inconsistent hot water, strange noises, or visible corrosion on the tank are also signs that the water heater is failing and will likely stop working soon.
What size water heater do I need?
Tank size depends on how many people live in your home and your peak hot water usage. A household of three to four people typically needs a 40 to 50 gallon tank, while larger families or homes with high simultaneous demand may require a 60 to 80 gallon unit or a tankless system.
How long does installation take?
Most residential water heater replacements in Snellville take two to four hours from start to finish. We drain and remove the old unit, install the new one, test all connections, and verify proper operation before leaving your home.
What is the difference between electric and gas water heaters?
Electric water heaters use heating elements powered by your home's electrical system, while gas models burn natural gas or propane to heat the water. Gas units typically heat water faster and cost less to operate, but they require a vented exhaust system and access to a gas line.
When should I replace instead of repair?
If your water heater is older than eight years and requires a major repair such as a new heating element, tank replacement, or valve work, replacing the entire unit is usually more cost-effective. Older tanks are more likely to develop additional problems soon after one component fails, so replacement avoids repeated service calls.
