Water Heater Repair in Blaine & the North Metro
No hot water does not always mean you need a new tank. Casey checks the problem, explains your options, and confirms the repair price before additional work begins. Diagnostics are $99 for the first 30 minutes. The $99 diagnostic fee is credited toward any repair you approve. Repair pricing and any additional diagnostic time are confirmed before proceeding.
Electric Water Heater Repair
We diagnose heating-element and thermostat problems, inconsistent temperatures, and loss of hot water. The condition of the tank and the availability of suitable parts help determine whether repair makes sense.
Gas Water Heater Service
Pilot, ignition, burner, and control problems need diagnosis specific to your model. We check the symptoms and explain repair or replacement options for your setup.
Leaks, Odors & Maintenance
Rotten-egg smell in your hot water? We investigate the source and discuss suitable repair or anode options. Water near a heater can come from connections or valves as well as the tank. We trace the source and assess sediment, flushing, or anode service based on the unit's condition.

Listed tank prices are for 50-gallon replacements. Other sizes and tankless systems are quoted separately.

Powered Anode — $499 Standalone / $299 with Replacement
Protect your new tank without replacing a used-up anode. Install a powered titanium anode for $499 as a standalone service, or $299 when we replace your water heater.
- Save on future anode replacements: the titanium rod is not consumed like a conventional sacrificial anode, eliminating routine replacement of a depleted rod and the associated parts and labor costs.
- Less anode maintenance: no sacrificial rod to pull out periodically to check how much metal remains.
- Ongoing corrosion protection: uses a small electrical current to help protect the inside of your tank while powered and operating properly.
- Helps eliminate rotten-egg hot-water odor: addresses odor caused by reactions inside the water heater.
Requires continuous electrical power. Routine water heater maintenance, including flushing as recommended by the manufacturer, still applies. Savings depend on your water conditions and normal anode replacement needs.
Standard powered-anode installation requires a compatible tank, accessible anode, and an existing suitable outlet. Any new outlet or other electrical work must be arranged separately with a licensed electrician. Plumbing code updates, if needed, are quoted for approval before work begins.

“We woke up to a flooding basement due to a water heater leak. During my research I came across Sewer Masters LLC, due to the good reviews and upfront information on their website. Upon further conversation with Casey, I knew my research for a water heater replacement was done. We got a same day response and installation. He is very meticulous, performs quality work, clean, on time and also takes time to answer and even anticipated my questions. We are 100% satisfied with his work.”

When to Replace vs. Repair
It's Over 10 Years Old
Age is one factor, not the whole diagnosis. We consider tank condition, warranty, repair cost, and your household needs when comparing options.
Running Out of Hot Water Fast
A failed element, thermostat issue, sediment, or a change in demand can affect hot-water supply. Diagnosis helps identify whether repair or a different size unit is appropriate.
Leaking Around the Base
A leak may come from a connection, valve, or the tank itself. We trace the source first. A confirmed tank leak generally requires replacement; some connection or valve leaks can be repaired.
Rusty or Discolored Water
Discoloration can come from the heater, piping, or incoming water. Comparing hot and cold water and checking the system helps locate the cause before recommending work.
Rumbling or Popping Sounds
Sediment can cause noise during heating. We assess the heater and whether maintenance is appropriate for its condition; noise alone does not prove the tank needs replacement.
High Energy Bills
Energy costs also depend on usage and utility rates. We can discuss suitable replacement options, but savings vary and there is no guaranteed payback period.
Water Heater Service FAQs
How much does water heater replacement cost in Blaine?
Sewer Masters lists 50-gallon replacement packages starting at $1,699 for electric, $1,899 for atmospheric gas, and $2,699 for power-vent gas. These prices include the unit, installation, permit, old-unit haul-away, and a two-year installation workmanship warranty. Code updates cost extra and are quoted for approval. Other sizes and tankless systems are quoted separately. Photos of the heater, connections, nameplate, and gas venting where applicable are required for a firm quote. Compare replacement packages.
What could change my replacement price?
Existing venting, water or gas piping may need changes to suit the replacement or meet applicable requirements. Difficult access or a different tank size can also change the scope. Send photos of your heater and connections so Casey can review the setup and confirm a firm quote. Any additional work is explained and approved before it begins.
Can my water heater be repaired instead of replaced?
Sometimes. A failed element, thermostat, or accessible connection may be repairable. A confirmed leak in the tank itself generally calls for replacement. We consider the diagnosis, tank condition, repair cost, and your needs before recommending either option.
