"Our tank failed overnight — Sam had a new one installed by 2pm the next day. Clean work, fair price, and walked us through the PSE rebate."

Emergency Water Heater Repair & Replacement
Leaking tank at midnight? No hot water before work? We answer the phone around the clock and get most Eastside emergencies handled the same day — repair or full replacement, permitted and warrantied.
Water heater actively leaking? Do this first.
- Shut the cold-water supply valve on top of the tank (turn clockwise).
- Electric: switch off the water heater breaker. Gas: turn the gas control to OFF.
- Open a hot tap downstairs to relieve pressure and stop back-siphoning.
- Call us at (425) 399-2448 — we'll walk you through the rest on the phone.

"Switched from an old tank to a Rinnai tankless. The install is the cleanest plumbing work I've ever seen. Highly recommend."
"Got a heat pump water heater installed. Honest pricing, great communication, and our power bill dropped immediately."
"Annual service plan is the best money we spend on the house. They catch issues before they become emergencies."

24/7 emergency water heater service across the Eastside
A failed water heater does not wait for business hours. SJ Teddy Plumbing Contractors has been responding to emergency water heater calls across the Eastside of Washington since 2004, with trucks based minutes from downtown Kirkland and typical response windows of under two hours to Bellevue, Redmond, Bothell, Woodinville, Kenmore, and Sammamish. We carry 40, 50, and 75-gallon gas and electric tanks, common repair parts, pans, expansion tanks, and seismic strapping so most calls are solved on the first visit.
Most emergencies fall into three buckets: a leaking or burst tank flooding a garage or utility closet, a sudden loss of hot water from a failed element, thermocouple, or gas valve, and a tankless unit locking out on an error code. Older Eastside homes add their own complications — tight closets, original atmospheric venting, undersized gas lines, and finished basements where water damage spreads fast. Our techs stabilize the leak first, then quote a flat-rate repair or replacement in writing before starting work.
If you are searching for "emergency water heater repair Kirkland," "24 hour plumber Bellevue water heater," "leaking hot water tank Redmond," or "same day water heater replacement Eastside WA," call (425) 399-2448.
