Service Overview
Hot water is essential for daily life, and when your water heater fails, you need a trusted plumber who can respond quickly and get things back to normal fast. Max Botts Plumbing Repair provides comprehensive water heater services for homes and businesses throughout Lafayette and the surrounding Acadiana region. We service and install all major brands and types of water heaters, including traditional storage tank units, high-efficiency tankless (on-demand) systems, and heat pump water heaters. Whether you need a simple repair, annual maintenance, or a full system replacement, our licensed plumbers have the expertise to do the job right. Signs your water heater needs attention include no hot water, inconsistent water temperatures, rusty or discolored water, strange noises coming from the unit, visible corrosion or leaks around the tank, or a unit that's more than 10 years old. Ignoring these warning signs can lead to a complete failure and potential water damage to your home. We always provide a free estimate before starting any water heater work so you know exactly what to expect. We'll help you choose the best solution for your budget and hot water needs — and we stand behind every installation and repair we perform.
Common Problems We Solve
No Hot Water
Complete loss of hot water is usually caused by a failed heating element, tripped breaker, or dead pilot light. We diagnose and fix the issue quickly.
Inconsistent Water Temperature
Water that runs hot, then cold, then scalding indicates a failing thermostat or heating element. We restore reliable, consistent hot water.
Rusty or Discolored Water
Rust-colored water from your hot tap signals internal tank corrosion. This often means the tank needs replacing before it fails completely.
Water Heater Leaks
Leaks from around your water heater can cause significant water damage. We assess whether the issue is a fitting, valve, or the tank itself.
Strange Noises
Rumbling, popping, or banging from your water heater is caused by sediment buildup. We flush the tank and restore quiet, efficient operation.
Water Heater Age
Most tank water heaters last 8–12 years. If yours is older, proactive replacement prevents unexpected failure and potential flooding.
High Energy Bills
An inefficient or failing water heater works harder and costs more to run. We help you upgrade to a more energy-efficient system.
Pressure Relief Valve Issues
A faulty T&P relief valve is a serious safety concern. We inspect, test, and replace pressure relief valves to keep your system safe.
