Myrtle Beach plumbing fights salt, humidity and seasonal use. That combination is hard on pipes, water heaters and crawl spaces.
Salt air and humidity are hard on water heater fittings, connectors and venting in Myrtle Beach and Carolina Forest. We check every connection, the drain pan and the shutoff, not just the tank. Rental owners often do better replacing an aging unit before peak season than during it.

- Water that never gets hot or runs out fast

- Install to code with proper venting, a drain pan where needed, and a shutoff within reach.

Do I need a permit in Horry County?
Many jobs such as water heater replacement, repiping, sewer work and gas work need a permit. The local building department sets the rules, and we handle permits as part of the work.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
If it is under about 8 years old and the fix is a part like an element or thermostat, repair usually wins. Past 10 years or with a leaking tank, replacement is the safer spend.
Tank or tankless?
Tank units cost less up front. Tankless saves space and can last longer, but needs a bigger gas line and venting upgrade in many homes. We will price both.
