Our Fairview Heights plumber explains the diagnosis clearly and gives you an honest assessment. If the repair cost exceeds 50% of replacement value or the unit is over 10 years old, we recommend replacement instead.

Common causes include a failed heating element or thermocouple, a tripped reset button, a faulty thermostat, or a depleted pilot light. Gas units may have gas valve issues. Pipe Masters diagnoses the exact cause at your Fairview Heights home and fixes it the same day when possible.

"Sump pump failed during a heavy rain and the basement started flooding. They came out in the storm, installed a new pump, and got the water under control before any real damage was done."
"Floor drain in the laundry room was backing up with sewage smell. They cleaned the line and found it was basically clogged with lint and soap residue from years of use. Smells normal again finally."
"Had a new gas line run from the meter to our kitchen for a gas range conversion. Everything was done to code, they scheduled the city inspection, and we passed first time. Very straightforward process."
