Gene's Plumbing handles water heater repair across East Alton and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
The honest call on a East Alton water heater is age-based. Under eight years with a bad part is worth fixing. Past twelve, or weeping at the tank seam, and you are buying time at a bad price.
Every house handles water heater repair a little differently depending on its age, and East Alton has plenty of both old and new. The fitting, the pipe material and the way the last plumber left it all change what the right repair is.
That is why the East Alton truck carries parts for more than one era of plumbing. The water heater repair job gets finished on the first visit wherever it can be, because a second trip costs you a day and costs us the trust.
How the job actually runs, start to finish.
Tell us what you are seeing, hearing or smelling. If water is actively running into the house, you get walked to your main shutoff before anything else is discussed.
Finding the real cause is what keeps the repair small. Opening one square foot of wall instead of twenty starts with knowing exactly where to open it.
If there is a cheaper option that will actually hold, you hear about it. If the cheap option is a patch that fails in six months, you hear that too.
The repair gets made with proper materials, pressure tested where the job allows, and checked in front of you before anything is closed back up.

Real reviews from real service calls.
"Got a quote elsewhere for a full repipe at five figures. Second opinion here found two bad sections and a pressure regulator. Cost me a fraction of the first number."
"Tankless unit was throwing an error code every other shower. Descaled it, replaced a sensor, walked me through the yearly flush so I can do it myself."
"Good work on the sewer line, camera first so I could see the root ball myself. Took a day longer than quoted because of the rain, but they called me both mornings instead of leaving me guessing."
