Richland Customers on Joyce
5.0 ★ · 6 Reviews"I've used Father Daughter Plumbing on several occasions for replacing water heaters, faucets, and pipe repairs. Aside from being responsive and knowledgeable, Joyce was well prepared and very thorough. For my water heater replacement the system required additional items to meet code — Joyce had them stocked and was efficient in getting our house back up and running promptly. Plumbing is one of my least favorite repairs, and using Father Daughter has been a lifesaver — responsive, experienced solutions with a reasonable price tag!"
"Father Daughter Plumbing is my fave! Great response time and prices for my personal and rental properties for some years now. Father Daughter has fixed me up inside, outside, and under my house too! Today was a too-high water-pressure issue. I just won't bother with anyone else!"
Water Heater Repair — Tank & Tankless FAQs in Richland
How do I know if my water heater needs repair or full replacement?
If the tank itself isn't leaking and the unit is under roughly 10 years old, most failures — bad thermocouples, pilot assemblies, heating elements, or dip tubes — are repairable. Joyce gives you an honest breakdown of repair cost vs. replacement value so you can decide with real numbers.
My tankless water heater is flashing an error code — can you fix it?
Yes. We read the manufacturer error code, then diagnose the underlying cause — often a flow sensor, flame rod, scale buildup in the heat exchanger, or a gas supply issue — and repair it to factory spec.
Why does my water heater make loud rumbling or popping sounds?
That's sediment baked to the bottom of the tank. As water heats, it bubbles up through the sediment layer. We can flush the tank, and if the rumbling has gone on long enough to damage the tank, we'll tell you straight.
