Water Heater Repair in Plano, Richardson & DFW

Q: How long does a standard water heater last?

Most traditional tanks last 8–12 years. Regular anode rod maintenance can extend life; rust at the base usually means replacement.

Q: Should I choose gas or electric?

Typically stick with your home's existing infrastructure. Plumb Bros can discuss conversions if your utility needs change.

Q: What causes a tank to leak?

Internal corrosion over time usually leads to tank failure. Rust at the base means it is time for replacement.

Tank water heater FAQs

How long does a standard water heater last?

Most traditional tanks last 8–12 years. Anode rod maintenance and flush service can extend life; once you see rust at the base, plan a proactive replacement.

Should I choose gas or electric?

Usually stick with your home’s existing fuel type. We can discuss conversions when utility access or efficiency goals change.

What causes a tank to leak?

Internal corrosion is the most common cause of tank failure. Leaks at the base almost always mean replacement, not a patch.
