Expert Water Heater Replacement in Philadelphia, PA

When your water heater stops working, Drain State Plumbing & Drain Cleaning is ready to help Philadelphia homeowners get hot water back. We handle full water heater replacement for tank and tankless units, gas and electric. Philadelphia's large stock of rowhouses presents real access challenges. Many units sit in tight cellars with limited clearance, and a slow leak in that space can reach stored belongings before anyone notices. We assess the existing setup, remove the old unit, and install a properly sized replacement that fits your home's space and demand. Philadelphia plumbing code requires correct temperature-pressure relief valve discharge piping, proper venting, and code-compliant clearances on every replacement. Our licensed plumbers follow those requirements on every job. Whether your home is in a dense rowhouse block or a multi-unit building, we work around your space constraints without cutting corners.

In these days I appreciate a company that answers the phone and communicates when they're running behind schedule for an appt. George came out, assessed what needed to be done, reasonable price agreed upon, and returned same day with his team to repair two gas fuel line leaks. They put in the extra time to get it done properly, so my gas could be turned back on by PGW. Continued blessings. Thank you

This is the 2nd time i've hired them and I couldn't be happier. Both times for major issues. They are polite, respectful and do a wonderful job. I couldn't be happier. I will continue to hire them for all my plumbing issues.

Hello ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ George and his partner were amazing. I'm a realtor and needed a plumber asap in Roxborough and the George was awesome and came out the following day. What was great about their service was that he was able to pin point what the issue was as soon as told him the area of leaking. His partner went upstairs as we went thru the basement to check the drain. They were able to identify the leak upstairs without opening up the ceiling and having another plumber say they had fixed the leak. They knew exactly what they were doing and truthfully very impressed with the attention to detail. I've been in the business for 7 years and haven't had a go to plumber, that will change today. I will be calling George! Thank you!!

Drain State was very professional and fast. Over the weekend my water heater broke and was leaking. I called Monday evening and they were able to replace my water heater that night.
