Water Heater Repair
Water Heater Repair in Austin, TX
No hot water? Leaking tank? Strange noises from the water heater? Our master plumbers diagnose and repair tank and tankless water heaters fast — honest pricing, same-day service when parts allow.
Repair, Not Replace — When It Makes Sense
A failing water heater rarely gives you a convenient warning. One morning it's a cold shower, a puddle by the tank, or a tank that groans and rumbles. ADL Plumbing handles the full range of water heater repairs — from a quick thermostat swap to a thermocouple replacement, a gas valve repair, or an element change — so you're never without hot water for long.
We service every major brand and configuration: gas and electric, tank and tankless, standard 40-50 gallon tanks, and high-recovery commercial units. Our diagnostics are honest: if a $15 thermocouple fixes it, we won't sell you a new heater. We tell you exactly what's wrong, what it costs to repair, and how much life the unit has left — so you can make an informed decision.
Every repair is performed by licensed master plumbers, not handymen, which means the work is code-compliant, the manufacturer's warranty stays valid, and the repair is backed by our workmanship guarantee.

Austin's Water Heater Repair Specialists
Austin's water chemistry and hard-water mineral buildup are tough on water heaters — tanks here often age faster than the national average. As local master plumbers, we see the patterns: anode rods that need replacing sooner, sediment that builds in gas tanks, and heating elements that fail under the constant mineral load.
Whether you're in a 1960s central Austin bungalow with an aging 40-gallon tank or a newer Round Rock home with a high-efficiency unit, we diagnose water heater problems accurately and repair them honestly — we won't sell you a replacement you don't need.

Water Heater Repair FAQ
Why is my water heater not producing hot water?
The most common causes are a failed thermocouple or pilot light (gas), a burned-out heating element (electric), a tripped reset button, or a broken thermostat. Sometimes it's sediment buildup insulating the element from the water. We diagnose the exact cause and give you a flat repair price.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
If your tank is under 8 years old and the issue is a single failed part (thermocouple, element, valve), repair usually makes sense. If the tank is over 10 years, leaking, or heavily corroded, replacement is typically the better long-term value. We'll give you an honest assessment either way.
Do you service tankless water heaters?
Yes. We service, repair, and descale all major tankless brands — gas and electric. Many tankless 'no hot water' calls are simply a need for descaling or a flush, which we can do the same day.
Why is my water heater leaking?
Leaks can come from the temperature/pressure relief valve, a drain valve, a supply line connection, or — most seriously — the tank itself. A leaking tank means the inner lining has failed and the unit needs replacement. We'll identify the source and tell you straight.
