A water heater producing no hot water in Lanham can be caused by a tripped circuit breaker for electric units, a failed pilot light or gas valve for gas units, a burned-out heating element, a failed thermostat, or a tripped high-temperature limit switch. Phoenician Plumbing diagnoses the specific cause and repairs it on the same visit whenever possible.
Water heater leaks in Lanham homes can come from the pressure relief valve releasing due to over-pressure or temperature, loose inlet or outlet connections, a corroded drain valve, or — most seriously — a crack in the tank itself. Tank leaks typically mean the unit needs replacement. Phoenician Plumbing inspects the source of the leak and advises on repair vs. replacement.
Tank water heaters in Lanham typically last 8 to 12 years with normal use and basic maintenance. Hard water accelerates sediment buildup and reduces lifespan. Annual anode rod inspection and occasional flushing extends tank life. Tankless water heaters generally last 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance and periodic descaling.
Yes. Phoenician Plumbing services all major tankless water heater brands in Lanham, MD — diagnosing and repairing error codes, flow sensor failures, heat exchanger scale buildup, gas valve malfunctions, and igniter problems.

Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Called for what I thought was a simple leak detection and they found two separate issues — one behind the wall and one under the slab. Fixed both in the same visit. Professional and thorough throughout."
"Had an under-slab water line burst. They came out that day, capped off the bad line and restored water to the rest of the house, then rerouted the water line through the attic with minimal drywall damage. Very clean, respectful, knowledgeable, and professional. Only plumber I will ever call."
"Found frozen pipes in my crawl space after a cold snap. They thawed them safely and checked the full run for any cracked sections. Repaired two weak spots before they could burst. Really saved me from a disaster."
