Trusted Water Heater Experts on Seattle’s Eastside
When your water heater stops working, you need fast, reliable service from a licensed local plumber. At Rooter Pal Plumbing, we specialize in water heater repair, replacement, and installation across Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and Bothell. Whether you’re upgrading to a tankless water heater or replacing an old tank, we make the process simple, affordable, and code-compliant.
Do You Need a New Water Heater?
Most water heaters last 8–12 years. Call Rooter Pal Plumbing if you notice:
- Rusty or cloudy hot water
- Leaks at the base of your water heater
- Inconsistent hot water supply
- Strange noises (rumbling or banging)
- High utility bills without explanation
If your system is over 10 years old and showing these issues, replacement is often more cost-effective than repair.

Signs Your Water Heater May Need Replacement or Repair
- It’s getting old: Your hot water heater can be expected to last 6 to 13 years. If it’s an older unit and it’s having problems, you may want to opt for replacement instead of repair.
- There is rust in your water: It’s possible that your water heater is rusting, which could lead to a leak. Discolored water can have other causes, however. An assessment can determine the source of the problem.
- It’s creating noise: Over time, sediment can build up in your hot water tank. The noise may sound like clanking, popping or rumbling. We can investigate to determine a solution.
- It’s leaking onto the floor: As mentioned above, rust in a hot water heater can eventually lead to leaks, and could warrant replacement. What appears to be a leak in your hot water heater could actually be a leak in your pipes, however.
- It’s just not working very well: If you’ve noticed a reduction in your hot water supply, it may be a problem with your hot water heater. We can help determine the cause and the best course of action.
