Water HeaterReplacement.
Tony's Plumbing replaces storage-tank water heaters with Bradford White and Rheem units for homes in Cypress, Katy, Houston, Tomball, Spring, The Woodlands, and nearby communities—code-compliant installs with pans, expansion tanks, and T&P protection where the jurisdiction requires them.
A leaking or rusting tank is usually a replacement, not a patch. A licensed Master Plumber with 38+ years in the trade matches capacity to how your household actually uses hot water, and says so when tankless is the better path. Call (832) 890-8449.
When a tank should be replaced
Replace a storage tank when the shell is leaking, hot water runs rusty, recovery keeps slowing, or the unit is in the 10–15 year range common for Houston-area hard water. A drain-valve drip or loose fitting can look like a dead tank—we check those before condemning the heater.
Sediment in Cypress and northwest Houston water boils under the burner and shows up as popping or rumbling. Flushing can buy time on a younger tank. Heavy scale plus age usually means the next leak is the tank itself.
Bradford White and Rheem installs
We install and service Bradford White and Rheem tank water heaters. Like-for-like gas or electric swaps stay in the existing closet or garage when venting, gas, or electrical service already matches the new unit.
A permitted replacement includes safe disconnect, haul-off of the old tank when access allows, dielectric fittings, a drain pan with a drain line where required, an expansion tank on closed systems, and a working T&P discharge. We start the unit and check for leaks under heat before we leave.
When tankless is the better path
Stay with a tank when gas or electrical capacity cannot support on-demand heat, when the closet cannot take a vent change, or when you want a straightforward swap. Move to tankless when several baths run together and the meter and gas line can carry the BTU load.
We compare both options on site. Tankless install, sizing, and Rinnai, Navien, and Rheem service live on our tankless water heating page—so this page stays about storage tanks.

Tank vs Tankless Decision
A clear recommendation when simultaneous showers justify on-demand heat—and when a new tank is the right call.
Our Approach.
A clear, proven process that eliminates guesswork and gets it right the first time.
Diagnose
We confirm whether the leak, rust, or slow recovery is the tank, a valve, sediment, or a failed part worth repairing on a younger unit.
Replace
Bradford White or Rheem tank install with code items—pan, expansion tank, straps, and T&P—matched to gas or electric service already in the home.
Protect
We set temperature, check the pan drain, and talk through an automatic water shutoff if a future tank leak would flood finished floors.
Right Size.Code-Ready.No Patch on a Dead Tank.
Storage tanks fail from age, sediment, and leaks—not from a missing brochure feature. We install Bradford White and Rheem with the pan, expansion, and relief protection the house actually needs, and we point you to tankless only when the fuel and the floorplan support it.
