50-Gallom Water Heater Swap in Modesto, CA

We recently responded to a service call in Modesto.

The homeowner had a leaking 50-gallon water heater that had been installed in 2002.

That’s over 20 years of service! Unfortunately, time (and water) had taken its toll.

A slow but steady leak from the tank is typical of aging water heaters.

Not only was it wasting water, but it also posed a significant risk of potential flooding and water damage in the garage.

Here’s what we did:

✅ Safely removed the old, corroded unit

✅ Installed a new 50-gallon high-efficiency water heater

✅ Upgraded fittings and ensured code-compliant installation

✅ Tested for proper operation and checked all safety features

Now the home has reliable hot water, improved energy efficiency, and no more puddles in the garage.

💡 Pro Tip: If your water heater is over 10–15 years old, it may be time to consider a replacement—before it starts leaking.
