A tank water heater is the quiet workhorse of the house: it keeps 40 or 50 gallons hot and waiting so the shower, dishwasher, and laundry all work without a second thought. 717 Mechanical LLC handles both sides of keeping it that way: installation & replacement and repair.
With over 14 years of experience, our technicians install Bradford White gas and electric tanks for homeowners in Marietta, PA and throughout Lancaster County, and we service most major brands no matter who put the unit in. Most tanks give you 8 to 12 years of service, and the hard water in this part of Pennsylvania is the main reason some fall short of that.
Rusty or discolored hot water, a rumbling or popping sound while the burner runs, or dampness around the base of the tank are the signs worth calling about. Catch them early and a repair or a flush often buys you years. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at.

Water Heater RepairCompare Your Options
If your tank is due for replacement anyway, it is worth a look: tankless units heat water on demand for endless hot water and give you back the floor space the tank was using.
Tankless Water HeatersNot sure where to start? Here's how we'd think about it:
No hot water at all, or water pooling under the tank? Start with tank water heater repair. An active leak can damage flooring and drywall quickly, so shut off the water supply to the heater and see our emergency HVAC service page - we offer priority scheduling for urgent repairs.
Tank 10+ years old, or rusty water at the tap? Rust-colored hot water usually means the tank is corroding from the inside, and that is not something a part swap fixes. It is time to price out installation & replacement, and financing is available so a planned replacement doesn't have to wait for a failure.
Running out of hot water before everyone gets a shower? That is either a sizing problem or sediment stealing capacity. We can flush the tank, step you up to a larger one, or talk through a tankless water heater that heats on demand instead of storing.
Everything working fine? Keep it that way with an annual flush to clear sediment, and consider bundling your water heater with your heating and cooling equipment under our HVAC maintenance plans.
