Rancho Cucamonga Water Heater Repair
Reliable Hot Water Solutions Backed by 45+ Years of Local Expertise
Hot water is one of those daily essentials most homeowners don’t think about until it’s suddenly gone. Whether you're facing an ice-cold shower, discolored water, or a heater that keeps shutting off, a malfunctioning unit is more than just an inconvenience; it can lead to significant property damage if left unaddressed. In Rancho Cucamonga and across the Inland Empire, water heaters operate year-round, and when performance declines, you need clear, reliable answers.
At Scott McLeod Plumbing, water heater repair starts with an honest evaluation. Since 1980, we have been a trusted choice for homeowners and property managers throughout the region. Our A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau reflects decades of consistent, high-standard service and is supported by our track record for local institutions like Chaffey College and the City of Rancho Cucamonga. We don’t just fix the symptoms; we identify the root cause to provide a system that remains safe and efficient for your family. Because a burst tank or total loss of hot water doesn't always happen during business hours, we offer 24/7 emergency services to provide immediate relief when you need it most.

“Scott McLeod Plumbing showed up in my time of need and truly saved the day. They were helpful, reassuring, and professional during a very challenging situation. I had previously worked with another plumbing company that left me uncomfortable with some questionable accounting practices, but Scott McLeod Plumbing completely restored my faith in both honest and quality service. From start to finish, everyone who worked on our project—Teddy, Peter, and Michael—was pleasant, professional, and respectful of our home, including our landscaping. They completed the job quickly, which was especially important since it was a time-sensitive repair, and their attention to detail and care were exceptional.

“We had an issue with the plumbing in our master bathroom develop over the weekend. This had a sudden onset and very odd pattern. On Monday AM we called Scott McLeod Plumbing and to my surprise, they were able to send out a team a few hours later. Based on our description of what was happening, and his inspection of a few things, Teddy deduced immediately what the most likely problem was and explained to us the sequence of events that caused our problem. It was so logical and was communicated to us so clearly that we immediately felt complete trust in the solution he proposed. He was very obviously a complete expert. The cost proposal for all the work was very reasonable. He and his assistant spent the rest of the day solving our problems. It was such a pleasure having two such lovely people take care of our issues. I have used another top-rated local plumbing company in the past and although they did good work, I felt like their pricing was very high.”Happy Customer

FAQs
How long does a typical water heater repair take?
Most common repairs, like replacing a thermocouple or a heating element, can be completed within a few hours. We carry a wide range of parts on our trucks to get the job done in a single visit whenever possible.
Is it safe to use my water heater if it's leaking?
If you see water pooling, we recommend turning off the power/gas and the water supply to the unit immediately. Leaks can worsen suddenly and lead to structural damage or even electrical hazards.
Can "flushing" the tank really save my heater?
Yes. In our hard-water region, flushing the sediment out of your tank once a year can significantly extend its lifespan and lower your energy bills.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency services?
Absolutely. If you have a major leak or a total loss of hot water on a weekend or holiday, our team is available around the clock to help.
