Repair
Many water heater problems can be repaired. Our plumbers replace heating elements and thermostats on electric units, thermocouples, igniters and gas valves on gas units, and worn anode rods, dip tubes and relief valves on both. A tank that makes noise usually needs flushing. A repair makes sense when the tank itself is sound. We will ensure that your water heater repair in Shreveport is handled by professionals.
Replacement
A tank that is leaking from the body cannot be repaired, and a heater near the end of its life is often better replaced than patched. Tank water heaters typically last eight to twelve years. Our team will size the new unit to your household, set it with the proper relief valve, drain pan and venting, and remove the old one. Plumbing and gas piping work in Shreveport requires a permit from the city. Our team is fully committed to reliable water heater replacement in Shreveport.
Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters save space and heat water only when you need it. They suit many Shreveport homes, but they are not a simple swap: a gas tankless unit often needs a larger gas line and different venting than the tank it replaces. Our team will compare a tank and a tankless unit for your household size and explain the maintenance each one needs, so you make the right choice. We are committed to making tankless water heater installation in Shreveport simple and reliable.
Local Water And Maintenance
Our team knows Shreveport water. The city draws from Cross Lake, and its average hardness of about 45 to 50 milligrams per litre is on the soft side, so heavy scale is less of a problem here than in hard-water cities. Sediment still collects in the bottom of a tank, though, and Cross Lake had higher-than-normal manganese in 2024 that discoloured water in parts of the city. Flushing the tank once a year and checking the anode rod keeps a heater working properly. Our team is focused on high-quality water heater maintenance across Shreveport.
Gas And Electric
Shreveport homes have both gas and electric water heaters, and our plumbers work on both. Gas units need a sound gas connection, correct venting and combustion air; electric units need the right breaker and wiring. Natural gas service in the area is now provided by Delta Utilities, which took over the former CenterPoint Energy system in 2025. If you smell gas near a water heater, leave the house and call the gas utility and 911 before anything else. We will ensure that your gas water heater repair in Shreveport is handled by professionals.
Signs Your Water Heater Needs Attention
Look for these signs, and call when you see them:
- No hot water, or hot water that runs out quickly
- Rusty or discoloured hot water
- Rumbling, popping or banging from the tank
- Water around the base of the heater
- A relief valve that drips or discharges
- A pilot light that will not stay lit
