The Story: When a water heater started leaking, Towne Plumber had technicians on site within hours and a new tank installed within a day, with the replacement itself taking about two and a half hours.

The Solution: Towne Plumber dispatched technicians within hours of the call. Jake and his partner returned to replace the tank the next day and completed the installation as a two-person team.
