How do I know if my water heater needs to be replaced?
Several indicators suggest it's time for a replacement, including: a water heater that's more than 10-12 years old, rust-colored water coming from hot water taps, a leaking tank, inconsistent water temperature, unusual noises like popping or rumbling sounds, and increased energy bills. Our technicians can evaluate your system and advise whether repair or replacement is your best choice.Should I repair or replace my water heater?
When your water heater is fairly new and needs only a minor fix, repair is typically the better choice. However, if your unit is older, showing signs of leaking, or requires expensive repairs, replacement usually offers better long-term value.What is the difference between a tank and tankless water heater?
Traditional tank water heaters hold heated water in a storage tank, have a lower initial cost, and work reliably for most homes. Tankless water heaters heat water as needed, operate more efficiently, provide continuous hot water, and generally last longer. We offer installation, repair, and maintenance services for both types of systems.How long does a water heater last?
Conventional tank water heaters generally last between 10-15 years. Tankless water heaters can operate for 15-20 years or more when properly maintained.Why am I running out of hot water?
Several issues could be responsible, such as: malfunctioning heating elements, sediment accumulation in the tank, improperly set thermostats, a water heater that's too small for your needs, or running several high-demand appliances at the same time. A professional evaluation can pinpoint the specific issue.What plumbing services do you offer?

Take these steps right away: turn off the main water supply, switch off electricity in nearby areas if it's safe to do so, move valuables away from the affected area, and call Arrow Plumbing for emergency repair service.Why is my garbage disposal humming but not working?
When a garbage disposal hums without functioning, it typically means the motor has power but the blades can't turn. This usually happens when food debris, utensils, or hard objects become lodged inside. Don't put your hand into the disposal, and contact Arrow Plumbing if resetting the unit doesn't fix the problem.Why is my drain slow?
Slow drains typically result from: hair buildup, grease accumulation, soap residue, food waste, or tree roots growing into sewer lines. Professional drain cleaning can restore normal drainage.
