Installation, repair and the annual maintenance most tanks never get. Storage water heaters, handled by licensed Pittsburgh plumbers.
A storage tank water heater is the system most Pittsburgh homes run on, and it is also the one people think about least until the hot water stops or the floor around it is wet. Sediment, a spent anode rod, a failed dip tube and a leaking T&P valve all produce different symptoms and have very different price tags.
R. Davis Mechanical installs A.O. Smith tank water heaters and repairs all major brands including A.O. Smith, Bradford White, Rheem and State. Pittsburgh water is hard enough that sediment and anode rod wear are the two things we find most often, and both are maintenance items rather than reasons to replace a tank.
No hot water, or water on the floor? Shut off the supply to the unit and call 412-370-0464. Same-day and after-hours emergency service is available.

No hot water, not enough of it, rumbling from the tank, discolored water or a leak at a fitting. Not every leak means the tank is finished, and the difference is worth diagnosing.

Replacement sized to how your household actually uses hot water, not simply matching the label on the old unit. A.O. Smith equipment with financing available.

Sediment flush, sacrificial anode rod inspection, T&P valve testing and dip tube check. The service that decides whether a tank reaches its expected lifespan.
Water coming from the tank body itself means the tank has failed. A leak at a fitting, valve or connection is often a straightforward repair, so it is worth having someone identify which you have.
Sediment insulates the burner from the water it is meant to heat and quietly shortens the life of the tank. An annual flush and an anode rod check are the two cheapest things you can do for a water heater.
