If your tank water heater is leaking, not producing hot water, or making rumbling sounds — it’s time to call. True Grit Plumbing diagnoses the issue fast and gives you a straight answer: repair it or replace it. We’re not going to sell you a new unit if the one you have can be fixed.

Water Heater Leak Repair
A leaking water heater is more than an inconvenience — it can cause serious water damage fast. If you’re seeing water pooling around the base of your unit, rust-colored water, or moisture on the tank walls, call us immediately.
Not every leak means a full replacement. We’ll identify exactly where the leak is coming from — whether it’s the pressure relief valve, a corroded fitting, the drain valve, or the tank itself — and give you an honest assessment. If it can be repaired, we’ll repair it. If the tank is failing, we’ll tell you straight and get you a replacement the same day in most cases. No runaround, just the fix you need at the price we quoted.
Water Heater Maintenance & Flush Service
Most homeowners never touch their water heater until something goes wrong — but regular maintenance can double the life of your unit and protect your warranty.
True Grit Plumbing offers professional water heater flush and inspection service throughout Northwest Georgia. We flush out sediment buildup, inspect the anode rod, test the pressure relief valve, and check for early signs of corrosion or failure. A $49 flush today can prevent a $1,200 replacement next year. Schedule yours online or call 770-847-GRIT.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does water heater repair cost in Northwest Georgia?
Water heater repair costs vary depending on the issue, but True Grit Plumbing provides flat-rate upfront pricing before any work begins. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we touch anything — no hourly rates, no surprise fees.
How long does a water heater replacement take?
Most tank water heater replacements take 2–3 hours from arrival to completion. In most cases we can complete same-day service in Bartow County, Cherokee County, and surrounding areas.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
If your unit is under 8 years old and the repair cost is less than half the cost of a new unit, repair usually makes sense. If it’s over 10–12 years old or the tank itself is leaking or corroding, replacement is typically the smarter investment. We’ll give you an honest recommendation either way.
Do you work on both gas and electric water heaters?
Yes. We service and install both gas and electric water heaters — traditional tank and tankless — across all major brands. Whatever you have, we can handle it.
Do you install tankless water heaters?
Yes. We install and service tankless water heaters throughout Northwest Georgia. We carry Navien, Rinnai, Rheem, and Bosch systems and can help you choose the right unit for your home’s size and hot water demand.
