Water Heater Installation & Repair

When your hot water stops, you need a solution, not a runaround. At Befort Plumbing & Heating, we provide rapid, expert water heater services tailored to the specific needs of Englewood homeowners & businesses.

When you need an emergency plumber for an issue that threatens your home or business, you need a team that acts fast and gets it right the first time. Befort Plumbing & Heating provides priority emergency services to the Denver Metro area, bringing over 65 years of local expertise to every service call.

Clogged Drain & Main Line Clearing

A slow drain can quickly turn into a total stoppage, leaving you unable to use your kitchen or bathroom. When plungers and store-bought cleaners fail, our high-pressure hydro-jetting and professional snakes can clear even the most drains.

Burst & Leaking Pipe Repair

A burst pipe is a race against time. Whether it’s caused by Colorado’s freezing winter temperatures or simple aging, a ruptured line can release hundreds of gallons of water in minutes, leading to structural damage and mold. 

Emergency Water Heater Service

From leaking tanks to pilot light failures and electrical issues, our technicians specialize in rapid water heater repair and replacement. We work with gas, electric, and tankless models to get your hot water flowing again immediately.

Sewer Line Backups & Repair

Nothing disrupts a home faster than a sewer backup. If you notice multiple clogged drains, gurgling toilets, or a foul sewage smell, it’s a health hazard that requires immediate attention. 

Need Emergency Plumbing?

Do not wait. Our team is standing by to restore safety to your home immediately.

Evacuate immediately and leave the doors open behind you. Do not use your phone, flip light switches, or create any sparks. Once you are safely away from the house, call 911 or Xcel Energy to shut off the gas. After the property is secured, call us to repair the compromised pipe.

No. Your utility provider (like Xcel Energy) will respond to the emergency and shut off the gas to make the area safe, but they are not responsible for repairing pipes inside your property. You must hire a licensed plumber to locate and fix the leak before the gas can be turned back on.

Yes. Our team consists of licensed Master Plumbers who are fully certified to perform code-compliant gas line detection, repair, and installation across the entire Denver Metro area.

Frequently Asked Water Heater Questions

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

If your unit is under 10 years old and the repair is minor (like a thermocouple or heating element), a repair is usually best. However, if the tank is leaking or the unit is over 12 years old, replacing it with a more efficient model is typically more cost-effective than a temporary fix.

Why is my water heater making a popping or knocking noise?

This is usually caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. As water bubbles through the sediment, it creates a popping sound. This makes your unit work harder and can eventually cause the tank to overheat and fail. A professional flush or “deliming” service can often resolve this.

How can I extend the life of my water heater?

We recommend an annual professional flush to remove sediment and an inspection of the “anode rod.” The anode rod protects your tank from rusting; replacing it every few years can often double the lifespan of your water heater.

What are the benefits of switching to a tankless water heater?

Tankless systems provide endless hot water on demand and take up significantly less space. Because they only heat water when you turn on a faucet, they are much more energy-efficient than traditional tanks, which can lead to lower monthly utility bills.

How long does a typical water heater installation take?

Most standard tank replacements take between 2 to 4 hours. Our team arrives with a fully stocked truck to ensure we can complete the job in one visit, getting your hot water back up and running as quickly as possible.

Do you provide commercial plumbing services in Englewood and the surrounding areas?

Yes. In addition to our residential expertise, we provide full-scale commercial plumbing and heating services for businesses, retail centers, and multi-family properties across the Front Range. From grease trap maintenance to large-scale boiler repairs, we have the experience to keep your business running smoothly.
