TPR Valve Replacement
A dripping temperature-pressure relief valve is either tired or talkative: worn out, or warning about excess pressure. We test with a gauge, check the expansion tank, and replace the valve with the right rating.

Every leak traces back to a part. Find yours below — each service page explains the anatomy, the failure, and the fix.
A dripping temperature-pressure relief valve is either tired or talkative: worn out, or warning about excess pressure. We test with a gauge, check the expansion tank, and replace the valve with the right rating.
Down at the base of the tank, the drain valve lives the hardest life of any fitting. We swap weeping or cracked valves for full-port brass — a better seal today, better flushes for years.
The crown of the tank is where copper meets steel and expansion never stops moving. We trace top leaks to the exact joint, renew the seal or the fitting, and test under full pressure.
A tankless heater is a heat exchanger in a box — its leaks come from seals, condensate drains, and service valves, not a vessel. We know the different map and fix what failed.
The cruelest leaks are the slow, hidden ones. A properly sized pan with a pitched drain line turns them into a visible trickle in a drain instead of a soaked subfloor.
Gas models add fuel-system discipline to every leak repair: gas off before wrenches turn, water side fixed, then the burner and flue verified before the unit returns to service.
Behind the access covers of an electric tank sit elements, gaskets, and thermostats — and hardened gaskets weep convincingly. Breaker off first, then the failed part replaced and tested.
Every heat cycle expands the water; the expansion tank’s air bladder absorbs it. A failed bladder means pressure spikes and a weeping relief valve — we diagnose and recharge or replace.
A shutoff that won’t shut isn’t a shutoff. We swap seized gate valves on the heater’s inlet for full-port ball valves — positive, instant, reachable in a hurry.
Some leaks can’t wait for a scheduled visit. With active leaks, the sequence is water stopped first, unit made safe second, proper repair third — and talk you through the first steps by phone.
A rusted-through shell is the one failure no valve swap fixes. We remove the failed unit, set a correctly sized replacement with fresh connections, and prove the whole system.
