50-Gallon Water Heater Swap in Tracy, CA

This week, the team at Knights Plumbing & Drain replaced a 2014 50-gallon water heater in Tracy, CA that had begun leaking from the bottom — a common and serious sign of internal tank failure.

The homeowner had noticed water pooling around the unit and a drop in hot water reliability.

Upon inspection, we confirmed the issue: the internal tank had corroded and cracked near its base, indicating it was time for a full replacement.

🛠️ Here’s what we did:

✔️ Safely disconnected and removed the leaking 2014 unit

✔️ Installed a brand-new, energy-efficient 50-gallon water heater

✔️ Updated the supply lines, shutoff valve, and T&P discharge line

✔️ Installed a drain pan and properly strapped the unit per CA seismic code

✔️ Fully tested the system for leaks, pressure, and proper heating

Now the homeowner has reliable, safe hot water again and peace of mind knowing the issue was handled promptly and professionally.

💡 Pro Tip: If your water heater is 10 years old or older, be aware of potential issues such as leaks, rust, or temperature fluctuations. These are signs it might be time for a replacement before significant damage occurs.
