Water Heater Services
We repair and install every type of water heater: tank and tankless, gas and electric. Our water heater services cover thermostats, heating elements, thermocouples, valves, anode rods, and full replacement when your tank’s past saving.
If your hot water is running out faster than you’re used to, your tank’s making rumbling noises, or you’re seeing rusty water coming from the hot tap, get it checked before it fails. Most tanks last eight to 12 years, so if yours is around that age, we’ll tell you whether a repair is worth it. Rusty water usually means the tank is corroding from the inside and needs to be replaced.
Tankless water heater services
Tankless units heat water on demand, and because they take up a fraction of the space of a tank, they suit smaller Denver homes and remodels particularly well.
If your tankless heater is running short on hot water, it’s usually due to scale buildup or an undersized unit that can’t meet your hot water needs. We’ll flush your system and install a new unit when needed.
Sump Pump Services
At Horizon Services, our sump pump services include testing the float switch and check valve and installing a battery backup so yours keeps running when the power cuts out during a summer thunderstorm.
We’ll also talk to you about a sealed lid on the pit. About half of Colorado homes have radon levels above the EPA action level. The gas rises through the soil, and an open sump pit is one way it gets in.
Water Treatment & Filtration
Water softeners deal with hardness, while filtration takes out chlorine taste, sediment, and iron staining. Whether you need water treatment depends on where you live.
- Denver Water classifies its supply as soft to moderately hard because it comes from mountain snowmelt.
- South and east of the city, water from the Denver Basin aquifer is considerably harder. This water scales up water heaters, clogs fixtures, and shortens appliance life.
Our technicians will test your water and tell you whether treatment or filtration is worth considering for your home.
Common Signs You Need Professional Plumbing Service
Common signs you need the help of a professional plumber include:
- A jump in your water bill without any notable change in water use.
- Damp spots, or the sound of running water when everything has been turned off.
- Drains that back up repeatedly.
- Discolored water or a musty smell near walls and cabinets.
If your water pressure has dropped throughout your home, the problem is usually somewhere in the main supply line, and you’ll need professional help. If it’s just at one tap, it’s probably a blocked aerator you can unscrew and clean yourself.
To avoid unexpected plumbing problems, we recommend a whole-home plumbing inspection once a year. These annual inspections are even more crucial if your home is over 40 years old or if you’ve had the same problem more than once.
