AL Rooter Plumbing has served the Houston community for years, and we understand the unique challenges Houston's climate puts on water heaters, higher humidity speeds up corrosion, and heavy usage means more wear over time. We partner with top manufacturers to install reliable, durable water heaters, whether you need a traditional tank system or a modern tankless unit.

Water Heater Repair, Replacement & Installation

Signs your water heater needs repair:

No hot water

Inconsistent water temperature

Strange popping or rumbling noises

Leaks around the tank

Rust colored water

Water Heater Replacement: most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years. If yours is approaching or past that range, experiencing frequent repairs, or showing signs like leaks, rust, corrosion, or high energy bills, replacement is usually the more cost effective path forward. We help you choose the right unit for your home's size and hot water demand, and handle everything from removal of the old unit to installation of the new one.

Water Heater Installation: we install both electric and gas water heaters, tank style or tankless, backed by our service warranty and the manufacturer's warranty on the unit itself.

Tankless Water Heater Services

Tankless water heaters heat water on demand as it flows through the unit, rather than storing and reheating water in a tank, meaning hot water in seconds and no risk of running out mid-shower. They're also more energy efficient since they only heat water when you're actually using it.

Tankless Water Heater Installation — sizing and installing the right unit for your household's hot water demand

Tankless Water Heater Repair — diagnosing and fixing issues specific to tankless systems, from flow sensor problems to mineral buildup in the heat exchanger

Tankless Water Heater Replacement — replacing an aging or failing tankless unit, or converting from a tank system

Gas & Electric Water Heaters

Gas Water Heaters — using a gas burner and thermostat to heat and maintain water temperature, we install, repair, and replace both tank and tankless gas units

Electric Water Heaters — a reliable option where gas isn't available or preferred, we handle installation, repair, and replacement for electric tank and tankless systems alike

Commercial Water Heaters — higher capacity units built for the demands of restaurants, offices, and other commercial properties, sized and installed to match your business's hot water usage

Water Heater Maintenance & Flush

Regular maintenance prevents most of the costly water heater failures we get called out for.

Water Heater Maintenance — checking the heating element, pilot light, anode rod, and storage tank, and catching small issues before they become expensive ones

Water Heater Flush — flushing out sediment that naturally builds up at the bottom of a tank over time; left unaddressed, sediment buildup reduces efficiency, shortens the unit's lifespan, and can cause the popping or rumbling noises that often bring homeowners to call us in the first place, we recommend a flush annually for most households

Expansion Tanks & Recirculation Pumps

Expansion Tank Installation — an expansion tank absorbs the pressure created when water expands as it heats in a closed plumbing system; many local codes require one alongside a water heater installation, particularly when a backflow preventer or pressure reducing valve is present, and we install them as part of a code compliant water heater setup

Recirculation Pump Installation — a hot water recirculation system keeps hot water continuously circulating through your pipes, so it's available instantly instead of making you wait and run water down the drain while it heats up. We install both dedicated return line systems and integrated loop systems depending on your home's plumbing layout

Water Quality Services

Hard water and contaminants are common issues for Houston homes, and they affect more than just your water heater.

Water Softener Installation — removes calcium and magnesium minerals that cause hard water, extending the life of your appliances, water heater, and plumbing fixtures while making water gentler on skin and hair

Whole-House Water Filtration — filters all water entering your home, removing chlorine, sediment, and other chemicals for cleaner water at every tap

Reverse Osmosis Systems — uses a semipermeable membrane to remove contaminants like lead and fluoride that other filtration methods miss, typically installed at the point of use for drinking water
