Before you hire in Rochester
Mid-century and newer systems
Most homes here date from 1983 or later. Original furnaces, water heaters and roofs from that era are well past their service life, so replacement planning matters more than repair.
Michigan basements
Freeze-thaw cycles and clay soils make foundation cracks and wet basements common across Metro Detroit. Foundation and sump pump checks belong on every spring list.
Permits: check with the Rochester building department before work starts.

Water Heater Repair in Rochester: FAQ
On gas units the pilot or thermocouple is often the cause. On electric units, an element or thermostat. A plumber can test it quickly.
A small drip at a valve can wait a day. Water coming from the tank itself means it is failing: shut off the water to it and call soon.
If the tank is over 10 years old or leaking, replacement usually makes more sense than repair.
