Cornerstone Plumbing repairs and replaces water heaters for homes and rental properties in and around Milford, Massachusetts. If you have no hot water or see water around the tank, call (508) 361-9450. Tell us the tank's age (it's on the label) and where the water is coming from.
A leaking water heater should be dealt with quickly. A small drip from a fitting or valve can sometimes be repaired, but water coming from the tank itself usually means the tank is failing and can let go without warning. Turn off the power or gas and the cold supply, then call Cornerstone Plumbing at (508) 361-9450.
It depends on the age of the tank and what failed. Parts like thermostats, elements, valves and gas controls can often be repaired. A leaking tank, or a heater near the end of its typical 8–12 year life, is usually better replaced. Cornerstone Plumbing explains both options and the cost before any work starts.
Sudden loss of hot water usually means a tripped breaker or failed element on an electric heater, or a pilot or ignition problem on a gas heater. If your hot water comes from the boiler, the boiler may have a fault. Check the breaker and the pilot, then call Cornerstone Plumbing at (508) 361-9450.
For 2026, Mass Save offers a $750 instant rebate on a qualifying heat pump water heater ($1,500 for split systems) that replaces an existing water heater in a one-to-four unit home. It must be installed by a licensed plumber. Rebates change each year, so check masssave.com, or ask Cornerstone Plumbing when you call.
It depends on the type and size of the new heater, gas or electric, how easy the old one is to reach, and any code updates the job needs, such as an expansion tank. The permit is part of the job too. Cornerstone Plumbing charges a flat rate by the task, explains the price before work starts, and offers financing.
Usually, yes. In Massachusetts, only a licensed plumber can do plumbing work, and most work beyond a minor repair needs a permit from the local plumbing inspector before it starts. Cornerstone Plumbing pulls the permits for its jobs and meets the inspector to pass the rough and final inspections.
