Pipe Masters begins every water heater repair in Old Tappan, NJ with a thorough diagnostic. We check gas supply, electrical connections, heating elements, thermostats, and the tank itself to find the root cause.
Our Old Tappan plumber explains the diagnosis clearly and gives you an honest assessment. If the repair cost exceeds 50% of replacement value or the unit is over 10 years old, we recommend replacement instead.

Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Needed the main water shutoff valve replaced because the old gate valve was frozen open. Not a fun job since it required cutting into the foundation wall, but they did it right and it works perfectly."
"We had Pipe Masters fix a drain that had been backing up for months. Turned out there was a belly in the pipe under the driveway. They used pipe bursting to replace the section without digging up the concrete."
"Pipe Masters diagnosed a slab leak that two other plumbers completely missed. They used electronic detection equipment and pinpointed the exact spot without tearing up the whole floor."
