Glendale Heights Water Heater Services
Do I Need Water Heater Services?
Could you benefit from our Glendale Heights water heater services? Watch for these signs that you should give Soukup Plumbing a call:
Strange sounds coming from the water heater: Gurgling, bubbling, or popping sounds are all common when a water heater is about to fail.
Insufficient hot water: A properly operating 40- or 50-gallon tank should be able to supply enough hot water for two or three back-to-back showers. If yours is unable to keep up, it may need maintenance to restore maximum output.
Murky hot water: A water heater with rust on the inside may cause hot water to run brown. Draining and flushing the tank may resolve this problem.
Leaky relief valve or rusty tank: Is your water heater leaking? Call Soukup Plumbing to address these problems before the tank fails and floods your home!

What Are Your Option?
When it comes time to replace or upgrade your water heater, there are two options. The first is the traditional tank storage water heater, and the second is the tankless water heater. Both have their pros and cons but don’t stress about which one is right as we here at Soukups Plumbing Inc well help you find water heater for you.
Tank-storage Water Heaters
Tank storage water heaters usually range from 30 to 80 gallons. These tanks work by heating the water stored inside the tank. They come in gas and electric models, and both are relatively easy to install and are cheaper than their tankless counterparts. One major drawback to tank storage water heaters is that once the tank is depleted of hot water, you must wait for the tank to reheat the water inside the tank. For smaller households, this might not be a problem, but for larger households, you might have to wait to take a hot shower.
Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters offer several advantages over tank storage water heaters. The main advantage is that hot water is on-demand, which means that the water heater only heats your water as needed. Tankless water heaters use a heat exchanger to quickly heat the water, providing you instant hot water as you need it.
Tankless water heaters have a lifespan up to 20 years, longer than traditional water heaters. They are also much more efficient than traditional water heaters.
Another major advantage is tankless water heaters take up much less space. Traditional water heaters usually take up useful garage, laundry room, or closet space that can be reclaimed by installing a tankless water heater.
The drawbacks to tankless water heaters are higher up-front costs and longer installation times; however, the longer lifespan and energy bill savings of a tankless water heater usually more than offset the additional money and time spent.
Installation Reviews
“Soukup Plumbing did an amazing job installing a comprehensive water treatment system at my house. Hearing all the incidents around the country where municipalities have had chemicals leak into their water supply, I didn’t want to take the chance. They walked me through each step of the process, recommending only the best products for the best price. They also don’t try to push any extra services or equipment that you don’t actually need. I left that conversation feeling like a water expert. The actual plumbing and install went extremely quickly and done professionally. I can’t recommend Soukup highly enough and I’ll be using them for any other plumbing needs in the future.”
