Water Heater Repair in Lafayette

Water heaters and
Lafayette's harder water

Lafayette's water is moderately hard, around 5.3 grains per gallon, harder than most nearby towns. That means more sediment settles at the bottom of tank water heaters. You'll hear it as popping or rumbling, and over time it cuts efficiency and shortens the tank's life.

A yearly flush helps a lot. For tankless units, harder water makes regular descaling even more important.

We repair and replace tank and tankless water heaters all over Lafayette, from Old Town to the newer neighborhoods.

Lafayette water heater questions

Why is my Lafayette water heater making popping sounds?

That's usually sediment at the bottom of the tank, which builds up faster with Lafayette's harder water. A flush often helps.

Is tankless a good fit with Lafayette's water?

It can be, but it needs regular descaling. We'll walk you through the upkeep.

How long do water heaters last in Lafayette?

Usually 10 to 12 years for a tank, sometimes less with hard water and no flushing. Call (720) 940-3661.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doug was great. He was able to give me a quote over the phone without a service charge, showed up at a specific time he told me, not an all day range, he fixed the leaky shower quickly and charged me good rate. Amazing plumbing experience!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Doug and his company today for the first time. The service was excellent! We had some issues with drains backing up, and some other plumbing repairs. Doug scheduled his visit for the next day, showed up on time, was polite and efficient! The cost was very fair. I highly recommend using Doug, and Around the Clog for any plumbing needs you may have! thanks Doug!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doug has done a LOT of plumbing work at our home over the years. Today, he was able to access a drain behind the wall by thinking out side of the box, and a lot of muscle power to cut the old pipe out. His team shows up, they’re on time, complete the work, clean up and have never tried to sell me BS or upsell the work. Doug has integrity and stands behind his work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were in a real pickle recently, with our buyers requesting a plumbing inspection on the day of closing. We were stressed! I called several plumbers that morning, and Around the Clog was able to arrive first. Their team truly went above and beyond to provide the best overall service we received during our recent move. Our buyers required a signed form at the closing table, and the team at Around the Clog bent over backwards to make it happen for us. Thank you for the incredible service!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doug came out to modify a gas line for our oven. Great communication, fast efficient work, and super punctual. Fair pricing. This is the second time we've hired him and will definitely use Around The Clog again in the future! Highly recommend!
