Not every water heater issue is an emergency — but some can't wait until morning. At Daniel's Water Heater Repair, here's what we treat as urgent:
If you're not sure whether your situation counts as an emergency, just call. We'll help you figure out whether it needs immediate attention or can wait for a scheduled water heater repair.
If your water heater is actively leaking or flooding, here's what to do before we get there:
Find the cold water shut-off valve on top of the water heater and turn it clockwise. If you can't reach it or it's stuck, turn off the main water supply to the house.
If it's electric, flip the breaker labeled "water heater" in your electrical panel. If it's gas, turn the gas valve on the unit to the "off" position. Don't touch the gas line itself.
Use towels, buckets, or a shop vac to contain the water and prevent it from spreading to other areas of your home.
Call us. We'll ask a few quick questions, help you confirm the situation is safe, and dispatch to your location as fast as possible.
When we show up for an emergency call, we come prepared. Here's what we can handle on the spot:
If the problem is a failed component — a bad valve, blown element, or faulty thermostat — we carry common parts and can usually fix it during the same visit.
If the tank is cracked, corroded through, or beyond repair, we can install a new water heater the same day in most cases. No need to go days without hot water.
We'll stop the leak, assess the damage, and help you figure out next steps — whether that's a repair, a replacement, or filing a homeowner's insurance claim.
If the valve on the side of your tank is leaking or hissing, we'll figure out whether it's the valve itself or a pressure problem in your system and fix it before it gets worse.
If the situation calls for a full water heater replacement, we'll walk you through your options and pricing before we do anything.
Charlotte's climate and housing stock create specific conditions that lead to water heater failures:
Most of these failures are preventable with regular maintenance. But when they happen, we're here 24/7.
A leaking or burst tank, flooding around the water heater, no hot water in winter, a hissing or whistling sound from the tank, or the smell of gas near a gas water heater. If you're unsure, call us and we'll help you figure out if it needs immediate attention.
We give you the price upfront before we start any work, regardless of the time of day. No hidden after-hours fees or surprise charges.
We prioritize emergencies and can usually get to you within a few hours, depending on your location in the Charlotte metro area — Ballantyne, Matthews, Huntersville, Lake Norman, and everywhere in between.
Turn off the water supply to the heater using the cold water shut-off valve on top of the unit. If it's a gas heater, turn the gas valve to the off position. If it's electric, flip the breaker. Then call us.
In most cases, yes. If the unit can't be repaired, we can usually install a new water heater the same day so you're not left without hot water.
It can be. A hissing sound often means there's too much pressure building up inside the tank, which is a safety concern. Don't ignore it — call us and we'll come check it out.
