At Tacoma Master Plumbing, we specialize in full-spectrum water heater services, from smart installations to fast, reliable repairs and routine maintenance that keeps your system running smoothly year after year.
Water Heater Installation and Replacement
Upgrading or replacing your water heater can feel like a big decision—but it doesn’t have to be stressful. Whether your current unit is nearing the end of its lifespan or you’re simply ready to switch to something more energy-efficient, we make the process smooth from start to finish.
At Tacoma Master Plumbing, we handle installations and replacements with attention to detail and long-term performance in mind. We’ll help you choose the right system for your household’s water usage, energy goals, and budget. That includes:
- Removing the old unit safely
- Upgrading connections and valves, if needed
- Installing the new water heater according to code
- Testing and calibrating your system for optimal performance
We install a wide range of models—from standard tanks to ultra-efficient tankless heaters and hybrid systems. We’ll even advise on the best location for your unit to save space and improve functionality.
If your current water heater is more than 10 years old, requires frequent repairs, or just doesn’t keep up with your household’s demand, it may be time to consider a full replacement. We’ll walk you through all the options—no pressure, just expert advice.

Fast, Effective Water Heater Repairs
Nobody wants to wake up to a cold shower. If your water heater isn’t doing its job, we’ll diagnose the issue and provide the fix—quickly and without guesswork. Common issues we handle include:
- No hot water or inconsistent temperatures
- Strange noises like popping or banging
- Discolored, rusty, or foul-smelling water
- Leaks or puddles around the base of the unit
We work on all major brands and models, including gas and electric units, and come equipped to solve most problems on the first visit. And because your hot water is essential for everything from daily showers to keeping your bathroom functioning comfortably, we also handle
bathroom plumbing issues that may be connected—like low water pressure, faulty fixtures, or outdated systems that need attention alongside your water heater repair.
Routine Maintenance for Long-Term Performance
Think of annual maintenance as a tune-up for your water heater. It helps prevent breakdowns, extend the unit’s lifespan, and keep energy bills under control. Our maintenance service typically includes:
- Flushing sediment buildup that affects heating efficiency
- Inspecting the anode rod to protect against corrosion
- Testing the pressure relief valve for safety
- Checking thermostat settings for proper temperature control
By staying on top of these small things, you avoid big (and expensive) surprises down the line.
