Platero Parada Plumbing

Platero Parada Plumbing fixed leaks in my copper hot water line which was located in the crawl space under my house. It was a challenging job to drain the line, cut out the leaking joints, and replace the copper joints, and all this was done under the house in the crawl space

Jared was incredibly responsive when we reached out with a busted hot water heater. He was communicative and professional and got the job done in one day. He noticed other safety issues with our hardware and fixed those as well.

Common No Hot Water Scenarios

Check the Pilot Light

For gas water heaters: look through the viewing window. If the pilot is out, follow the relighting instructions on the unit. If it won't stay lit, the thermocouple may need replacing.

Check the Breaker

For electric water heaters: check if the breaker tripped. Reset it once. If it trips again, there's an electrical issue — call a plumber.

Check for Leaks

Look around the base of the water heater for pooling water. A leaking tank is urgent and may need replacement.

Wait 30 Minutes

If the water heater was recently turned off or the pilot went out, it takes 30-60 minutes to reheat. If hot water doesn't return, call a pro.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have no hot water?
Common causes: tripped breaker or blown fuse (electric), pilot light out (gas), failed thermostat, broken heating element, sediment buildup, or a leaking tank. Age is also a factor — water heaters last 8-12 years.
Is no hot water an emergency?
It's urgent but not dangerous (unlike a gas leak). In Davis during cold months, no hot water is more urgent — frozen pipe risk increases. Most water heater pros in Yolo County offer same-day repair.
How much does it cost to fix no hot water in Davis?
Common fixes: thermostat replacement $100-$200, heating element $150-$300, thermocouple $100-$200. If the tank itself is leaking, replacement runs $1,200-$3,500 depending on type and size.
How long does water heater repair take?
Most water heater repairs in Davis take 1-2 hours. Element or thermostat replacement is quick. Full water heater replacement takes 2-4 hours for a tank unit, 4-8 hours for tankless conversion.
