Water Heater Repair & Replacement

Hot water keeps daily life running smoothly, from morning showers to washing dishes after dinner. When the water heater stops working, everything gets thrown off—especially during those cold Arkansas winters when hot water is a must. That’s why we take water heater repair and replacement in Fort Smith seriously, making sure you never have to go without comfort at home.

Signs Your Water Heater Needs Help

Most water heaters last between 8 and 12 years with regular care. Still, certain warning signs mean it’s time to call in a professional:

No hot water or water that won’t stay hot
Strange noises like popping or rumbling
Rusty or discolored water
Water pooling around the tank
Higher than normal energy bills

We check these issues fast at Josh Mintz Plumbing to keep small problems from turning into big ones. Quick fixes now can save you from an emergency replacement later on.

Common Water Heater Problems We Fix

Electric Water Heater Issues

Electric units often run into trouble with heating elements, thermostats, or wiring. We test every part to find the real cause and make repairs that last.

Gas Water Heater Repairs

Gas heaters sometimes have pilot light problems, thermocouple issues, or gas control valve failures. Our licensed plumbers handle all gas repairs safely and by the book, so you can count on reliable hot water.
