⚠️ The Real Truth About Water Heaters: What Most Plumbers Won’t Tell You ⚠️
Hi there, I’m Mark Neese, the owner of Stronghold Plumbing, right here in Lakeland, FL (We serve all of Polk though!). I’ve been in the plumbing business for over 19 years, and today I want to share something a lot of people won’t tell you about water heaters.
🚰 Not every water heater needs replacing. That’s right. I can’t tell you how many times (about 30%-40% of the time) I’ve walked into a situation where a homeowner has been told by another plumber that they need a brand-new water heater—only for me to find out that the current unit is in perfect working condition. A little maintenance can go a long way, and replacing isn’t always necessary.
One of the biggest issues that people face is sediment buildup. It’s like that silent enemy you never see coming—it slowly accumulates inside your water heater, lowering its efficiency and cutting years off its life. Most homeowners don’t even realize this is happening! But I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t always mean the end for your water heater. In many cases, a simple flush can clear it all out and keep your hot water flowing the way it should.
I value my reputation and the trust of this community. That means giving honest advice, not just pushing a replacement to make a quick sale. If I think a simple repair will extend the life of your water heater, that’s exactly what I’ll recommend. And yes, there are times when replacement is the right move—but my goal is to keep your costs as low as possible without compromising quality.
💸 A fair, honest approach: Other companies might skip essential checks or try to upsell you on a whole new unit when all you need is a simple tune-up. That’s not how we do business. At Stronghold Plumbing, it’s all about giving you the facts and the choice—whether you decide to hire us or not.
So here’s my offer: For just $54, I’ll personally come out to your property for an overview and assessment of your water heater issue. I’ll take a close look at what’s going on, give you a clear explanation, and let you know what your best options are. No pressure. No hidden agenda. Just straight talk from someone who’s been around the block a few times when it comes to water heaters.
💡 At the end of the day, I believe every homeowner deserves to feel confident in their decisions without getting taken advantage of.
