Englewood Water Heater Services
A water heater repair or water leak can quickly escalate into an emergency. It’s not just about losing hot water and enduring a cold shower—often, these issues are accompanied by significant water leakage, potentially flooding your basement. When a water heater tank fails, water may spray from the top or leak from the bottom, extinguishing the pilot light and leaving you with cold water. If you notice water coming from the tank, the first step is to shut off the water at the service valve to stop the flow. Next, turn off the gas supply (if it’s a gas-fired unit) or switch off the power to the unit.
Whenever Horizon Services is in your home for service, we take the extra step to identify these critical emergency shut-offs and attach “Safety Tags” to them. This ensures that in the event of an emergency, you can quickly and confidently turn off the correct valve, gas shutoff, or power switch.
Horizon Services is a full-service company that operates throughout Denver, available 24/7, including holidays, because we know that water leaks and water heater problems don’t only happen during business hours. For those proactive homeowners looking to avoid emergencies, it’s important to remember that water heater tanks typically last between 12 to 15 years, depending on factors like water quality, pressure, and usage.
Consider where the water from a failed heater might go—will it be safely directed to a drain pan and floor drain, or could it cause costly damage, potentially ruining a newly finished basement?
