Water heater replacement often starts with a cold shower or a puddle under the tank. Stop The Drip handles water heater installation and replacement for homes across Nashville and Middle Tennessee. We put in gas and electric tank water heaters, sized to how your house uses hot water. If one part failed on a sound tank, water heater repair may be the better fix.
Our focus is in-home service and repair work for homeowners. La Vergne sits at the center of our service area, from Murfreesboro to Hendersonville. For hot water on demand, we also handle tankless water heater installation. Call or text (615) 723-2488, and we put the quote in writing before work starts.

Each job starts with a look at the old unit and the space around it. A new tank can be taller or wider than the old one, so we measure first. Then we turn off the water and the gas or power, and drain the old tank.
The new tank gets a shutoff valve on its cold water line. Its relief valve gets a discharge pipe that ends at a safe spot, like a floor drain or outdoors. Where a leak would damage the house, the code calls for a drain pan under the tank. On a closed water system, an expansion tank usually goes on too.
A gas tank gets a gas connection and a vent that carries exhaust outdoors. Some gas tanks use a fan to push exhaust out through plastic pipe. In Davidson County, Metro Codes requires plastic vent pipe on a gas appliance to be listed to UL 1738. We fill the tank before the burner or the elements come on, then check every joint for leaks.
Tank size is only part of it. The yellow EnergyGuide label on a tank water heater also lists its first hour rating. That rating estimates the gallons of hot water a fully heated tank can supply in one hour.
We match that rating to your busiest hour of hot water use. Think of back-to-back showers while the dishwasher runs. If your house runs out of hot water now, upsizing to a higher rating may be the answer.
A bigger gas tank may have a bigger burner. We check that the gas line and the vent can handle it. Going from electric to gas takes a new gas line to the heater and a vent. Going from gas to electric takes a circuit sized for the heater, which an electrician runs.
Sometimes the old spot is the problem. A tank in an attic or a hall closet can soak finished rooms when it fails. Relocating a water heater to a garage or a utility room puts a future leak where it does less harm.
A move takes more than carrying the tank. New water lines run to the new spot, plus a path for the relief valve pipe and pan drain. A gas tank also needs gas and a vent there, and an electric tank needs its circuit.
Garages bring one more rule. Nashville's residential code wants a gas water heater's ignition source at least 18 inches above a garage floor. Units listed as flammable vapor ignition resistant are the exception.

they are awesome! They came out quickly both times I called and were honest and fair in their pricing. Will use them for all future plumbing. Highly recommend
Called the business and was able to get a same day appointment for my clogged kitchen drain and broken garbage disposal. They replaced the garbage disposal and did a hydro jetting. Throughout the process Freddie was very professional, friendly, and informative.He let me know all the steps of the process, gave options and his recommendations. At the end of the day, everything is fixed and he performed multiple tests to verify their work. Overall satisfied with this company .
