OUR SERVICES
Hot Water Heater Troubleshooting and Installation
Have you suddenly lost hot water and aren’t sure why? Noticed a puddle of water forming around your hot water heater or found your tankless water system isn’t delivering the comfort you expect?
These are common signs that your water heating system — whether it’s a traditional tank-style or a tankless hot water system — needs professional attention. Our skilled plumbers specialize in troubleshooting both hot water heaters and tankless water heaters, carefully inspecting each component to uncover the root cause before recommending solutions.
Whether it's a faulty heating element, sediment buildup, a leaking tank, or an issue with your tankless unit’s flow sensor or heat exchanger, we pride ourselves on offering honest advice and often provide same-day repairs to restore your hot water quickly and efficiently.
Clear communication and long-term solutions are the foundation of our service.
After diagnosing the issue, we’ll walk you through exactly what we found — whether it’s with your hot water heater or your tankless water heating system — so you can understand what caused the problem and avoid it in the future.
From minor fixes to full hot water heater replacements and tankless system installations, we handle every step with precision and care, ensuring your home or business has reliable hot water when you need it most.

Are your plumbers licensed and insured?
Yes, all our plumbers are licensed, insured, and highly trained professionals. We take pride in the qualifications and expertise of our team. Our commitment to excellence extends to ensuring that our plumbers are up-to-date with the latest industry standards and regulations. When you choose Local Legend Tom the Plumber, you can have confidence in the knowledge that your plumbing project will be handled by experienced, certified professionals who prioritize safety and quality.
How often should I schedule plumbing maintenance for my home?
Regular plumbing maintenance is essential to prevent unexpected issues and prolong the lifespan of your plumbing system. We recommend scheduling a professional plumbing inspection and maintenance service at least once a year. During this visit, our plumbers will assess your entire plumbing system, check for leaks, inspect fixtures, and ensure that everything is functioning efficiently. This proactive approach helps identify and address potential problems before they become major, saving you money and preventing inconveniences down the road.
Can I really call you at 3am when a pipe bursts and I have a flooding basement?
Yes! You can call us day or night. This is one of our specialties! We work around the clock so you don't have to worry.
Do You do Inspections?
Yes! Are you buying or selling your home? We do a thorough inspection of your homes plumbing from every fixture, to your well & well pump, sump pumps, camera inspections of lines, water heaters, boilers (wall mounted or traditional tank), and determining if your home is properly vented or not.
Where is my shutting off valve for my house's water in an emergency?
It's where the well tank is located for those people who have well pumps. Your shut off valve should be right next to it. They can be yellow, or green, red traditionally. To turn off, turn it so that it is crossing the pipe. Pictured is a green valve.
If you don't have a well tank, and you have a raised ranch, it's usually under the staircase of the front entranceway, in a closet, or crawl space you have to enter to turn off.
In some cases, when we're not available, you may need to contact your local fire department for requesting a "curb key" to turn off your home's water source.
When was your septic tank last cleaned?
You can pull the lid, or location of the septic tank and call in a septic company if you don't know the last inspection. It's generally 15 ' from the house and Tom the Plumber is an expert at finding them if you don't know where yours is located.
Do you do same day service?
Yes, we're able to come out to you the same day to fix your problem. Send us a few pictures, texting to 845-505-2055, and we'll be able to assess the issue at hand and provide an estimate to fix your issues.
Why do I have low water pressure?
There's a handful of issues that could be causing this, from calcium buildup, aerators on faucets, sediment filters, and water softeners. Some municipalities make you install PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve), and sometimes they go bad, and then you have no water pressure. We can help you troubleshoot this issue.
Where is your home base?
We're located in the heart of the Hudson Valley in Hopewell Junction in Dutchess County.
