What do you charge for a service call on a leaking water heater? What is the range for a diagnostic exam/test for a leaking water heater?
There is no charge to have one of our ARS/Rescue Rooter professional plumbers come out and give you an estimate on what it would cost to fix your leaky water heater. It could be something simple and he can fix it on the spot. Or, you might need a new water heater. In either case, the technician will give you a no cost, no obligation quote on what it would take to fix the problem. In the future, if you have a traditional storage hot water heater, consider having it flushed and inspected at least once a year by a qualified plumbing contractor. At that time, the plumbing experts will check for sediment, cracks, rust, wear and corrosion, check your pressure relief valve, and more. A good rule of thumb for repairs is that you never spend on repairing your hot water heater more than half the cost of replacing it. If you need to replace your hot water heater, the newer high efficiency hot water heaters will, overall, use 10 to 50 percent less energy than the older standard equipment. If you would like to improve the green living standard of your home, you should think about buying a water heater that bears the Energy Star® symbol. I suggest you contact a professional plumbing contractor, such as the ARS/Rescue Rooter branch in Indianapolis, IN at (317) 390-5555, to assist you with this problem.
