Same-day water heater repair, tankless upgrades, and full replacement for San Anselmo homes from the Hub to Sleepy Hollow.
San Anselmo's older Ross Valley homes — the craftsman cottages near the Hub, the mid-century houses climbing toward Sleepy Hollow and Seminary — often tuck their water heaters into tight hall closets, garages, or low crawlspaces near San Anselmo Creek, where space is short and flooding is a real concern. Add the mineral content in Marin Municipal Water District water, which steadily builds sediment and corrodes tanks, and a 12-year-old 40-gallon unit can quietly reach the end of its life. We diagnose, repair, and replace gas, electric, tankless, and heat-pump water heaters across San Anselmo, sizing each system to the home and bringing it up to current California code.
It depends on the type and size — a standard gas tank swap differs from a tankless or heat-pump conversion that needs new venting or electrical. We give clear, upfront pricing after seeing your setup, and as a licensed contractor (CA #501853) every install is permitted and code-compliant.
Often yes — wall-hung tankless units free up closet or garage space in our smaller Ross Valley homes and deliver endless hot water with lower standby loss. We'll confirm your gas line and venting can support one before recommending it.
Yes. We offer same-day service across San Anselmo for leaks and no-hot-water emergencies, which matters when a tank sits in a finished garage or low space near San Anselmo Creek where water damage spreads fast.
Most tank units last 8–12 years, but the mineral content in Marin Municipal Water District water accelerates sediment buildup and corrosion. Annual flushing and an anode-rod check extend that life, and we include both with maintenance.
From the Marin coast to Sonoma wine country, we bring honest plumbing, heating & cooling to homeowners across both counties — based locally since 1986.
