Water heaters fail at the worst times: a tank starts leaking at midnight, the shower runs cold before a workday, or the unit quits during a cold snap when every heater in Tulsa is working its hardest. That is why we answer the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When you call 918-848-9356 in an emergency, you talk to someone who can help — not a voicemail — and we will put you in touch with a local technician who can give you a realistic arrival time and the steps to take while you wait.
What Counts as a Water Heater Emergency
A leaking tank is the most urgent call local technicians get. A tank-body leak will not stop on its own, and the water spreads fast — across floors, into drywall, and down into whatever sits below. Shut the cold-water supply valve to the heater and move valuables out of the way, then call us. If the leak is from a fitting or the temperature-and-pressure relief valve, it may be repairable; if it is from the tank body, the unit has failed and needs replacing, and the priority is stopping the water and limiting damage.
No hot water is an emergency when the house depends on it — small children, elderly family members, or a home with no other hot-water source. Often the cause is a single failed part: a pilot light, thermocouple, or gas valve on a gas unit; an element or thermostat on an electric unit. Those are usually fixable the same day. A gas smell near the unit is a different category entirely: leave the house first, do not touch switches or light anything, and call your gas utility from outside. Do not try to diagnose a gas leak yourself.
Other emergencies include a unit making loud banging or hissing, water pooling around electrical connections, and a relief valve discharging heavily. If water is near electrics, switch the breaker off if you can do so safely from a dry position — never stand in water to reach a panel. When in doubt, call. A short conversation usually tells us how urgent it is, and we would rather talk you through a false alarm than have you wait on a real one.
What to Do While You Wait
- Leaking water: shut the cold-water supply valve to the heater. If you cannot find it, shut the main water supply to the house. Move rugs, boxes, and valuables away from the water and put down towels.
- Gas smell: leave the house immediately, do not use phones, switches, or appliances inside, and call your gas utility from outside. Call us after you are safely out.
- No hot water, no leak: check the thermostat setting (120°F is recommended) and, on electric units, whether a breaker has tripped. Do not open the unit or relight a pilot repeatedly if it keeps going out.
- Water near electrics: switch the breaker off only if you can reach it safely from dry ground. Never stand in water to do it.
- Heavy sediment noise or banging: turn the unit down or off and call us — a severely scaled tank can overheat.
These steps limit damage and keep you safe. They do not fix the unit — that is the technician’s job, and help is on the way.
How Our Emergency Service Works
Call 918-848-9356 any time. We ask what is happening, whether there is water spreading, and whether gas is involved, so the technician can prioritize correctly and arrive prepared. On site, the technician makes the situation safe first — water stopped, power or gas isolated where needed — then diagnoses the fault and explains your options with an upfront price. Many emergency repairs are done in the same visit: elements, thermostats, thermocouples, pilot assemblies, and relief valves are common stock. If the tank has failed, a same-day replacement can usually be arranged when a technician’s schedule allows, including the City of Tulsa permit that all replacements require.
Emergency calls come from across Tulsa — Midtown, Brookside, Cherry Street, Downtown, and South Tulsa. Cold snaps are our busiest emergency periods: sediment-worn units that have been struggling for months tend to give up when demand spikes and the incoming water is at its coldest. If your unit is older than ten years and has been rumbling or running out of hot water, do not wait for the cold snap to finish it — call us and we will send a technician for a check before it becomes a midnight emergency. The average water heater repair in Oklahoma runs around $343, and catching a failing part early is almost always cheaper than an emergency replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you really answer 24/7?
Yes. Our phone line is answered around the clock for water heater emergencies — leaks, no hot water, and gas concerns. Call 918-848-9356 any time, day or night.
What should I do first if my water heater is leaking?
Shut the cold-water supply valve to the heater, or the main water supply to the house if you cannot find it. Move valuables out of the way, put down towels, and call us. If water is near electrics, switch the breaker off only from dry ground.
What if I smell gas near my water heater?
Leave the house immediately, do not touch switches or use phones inside, and call your gas utility from outside. Do not try to find or fix the leak yourself. Call us once you are safely out.
Can you replace a failed water heater the same day?
Often, yes, when a local technician’s schedule allows. A like-for-like tank swap is usually done within a few hours, and the technician arranges the City of Tulsa permit that all replacements require. Tankless conversions take longer because of venting and gas-line work.
