Water Heater Repair & Installation (Tank & Tankless)

Hot water restored—safely and fast.

Forsee Plumbing Co. services and installs both tank and tankless water heaters across the Ohio–Kentucky–Indiana tri-state area. For leaks, no-hot-water, or pilot/ignition issues, call (513) 271-6720.

If you smell gas, evacuate and call your gas utility. We’ll handle repairs once the scene is cleared.

Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore

• Water around the base of the heater or active dripping
• No hot water, intermittent hot water, or long waits at fixtures
• Pilot won’t stay lit / ignition faults / error codes
• Rumbling or popping sounds from the tank
• Discolored or rusty hot water
• Temperature swings or scalding risk
• Visible corrosion on fittings or venting

Repair Vs. Replace

• Good candidates for repair: newer heaters with fixable issues (thermostat, elements, sensors, gas valve, igniter, minor leaks at fittings).
• Consider replacement: tanks 8–12+ years old with internal tank leaks, heavy rust, or repeated failures; tankless units 15–20+ years with major components failing; undersized systems that never meet demand.
• Why replace a leaking tank: once the tank wall fails, it’s not repairable—replacement prevents further damage.

Options We Install

Tank water heaters

• Gas or electric, sized to your household demand
• Proper venting (atmospheric, power/direct-vent as required)
• Code-required safety components (T&P valve, drain pan/line, expansion control where required)

Tankless (on-demand) water heaters

• Space-saving, continuous hot water, high efficiency
• Gas sizing, venting, condensate handling, and combustion air verified
• Optional recirculation solutions to speed hot water to distant fixtures

We service all makes and models and will discuss options that fit your space, fuel type, and usage.

Our Process

1. Diagnosis – Verify fuel/power, run tests, and inspect venting, gas sizing, and water quality.
2. Clear options – Explain repairs vs. replacement, expected longevity, and any code requirements.
3. Same-day solutions when possible – Many swaps can be completed same day once you approve.
4. Professional installation – Level, secure, and vented to code; safety devices installed; system started and verified.
5. Cleanup & haul-away – Old equipment removed; work area cleaned; operation explained.

Maintenance That Extends Life

• Annual tank flush to reduce sediment and noise
• Anode inspection/replacement on tanks to limit corrosion
• Tankless descaling to keep efficiency and flow strong
• Temperature check and safety verification
