I’ve been a plumber for about 9 years and I love what I do! My company is all about the American way, providing the best goods and services at the best prices possible. We appreciate your business:)

"This company exceeds my expectations. Austin is knowledgeable and strives to meet all your needs. I hired him to replace a hot water heater, but he ended up finishing other plumbing projects that my renovation contractor failed out. Justin also came to assist and was great. This is my forever go to Plumbing Company."

"I can't thank the guys enough for coming to the rescue. I started a toilet repair that should have been fairly easy, however….. So after realizing the job was too big for me I turned to Angi's list and they connected me to Garner Plumbing. They showed up that afternoon and had the job fixed within a half an hour or just a little more. I feel very confident in the work they did and they were very nice to work with.

Water heater repair or services FAQs

Flushing your water heater helps prevent mineral deposits from building up. It removes sediment that would otherwise insulate the heating element and slow heat transfer. Proactive maintenance ensures that your water heater maintains a consistent temperature while operating efficiently and extends its lifespan so you have a long-term, dependable hot water source.

Plan on flushing your water heater once a year. If you have hard water with high calcium levels, consider flushing it twice a year to keep it running smoothly. Regular flushing helps prevent sediment buildup, ensures that reliable hot water is readily available, and extends the life of your water heater.

If you notice unusual noises from your water heater, inconsistent water temperatures, rusty or cloudy water, leaks near the drain valve, or higher utility bills, it's time to flush your water heater. These signs indicate that sediment buildup is affecting your heater’s performance. Professional flushing service can help restore your water heater’s efficiency and prevent further issues.
