No hot water is more than an inconvenience — it disrupts your entire household. We repair and replace all types of water heaters with same-day service available. Whether your tank is leaking, your pilot light won't stay lit, or you're ready to upgrade to a tankless system, we have you covered.
We work on every type of residential and light commercial water heater. Our technicians are trained on all major brands and fuel types.
The most common type in Mid-Missouri homes. We install and service gas and electric tank water heaters from 30 to 80 gallons. Tank units are cost-effective and reliable when properly maintained. Average lifespan is 8-12 years.
Tankless water heaters heat water only when you need it, eliminating standby heat loss and providing endless hot water. Higher upfront cost but lower operating costs. Ideal for homes with high hot water demand.
Heat pump water heaters are 2-3x more energy efficient than standard electric units by pulling heat from the surrounding air. Best suited for unconditioned spaces like garages and basements with ambient temperatures above 40°F.
When standard atmospheric venting isn't possible, power vent and direct vent water heaters provide flexible installation options. We assess your space and recommend the right venting solution.

Your water heater is one of the hardest-working appliances in your home, quietly heating water around the clock so you have hot water whenever you need it. Most homeowners don't think about their water heater until it fails — and when it does, the consequences range from an inconvenient cold shower to a flooded utility room. At Affordable Plumbing Sewer and Drain Services, we provide complete water heater services throughout Jefferson City and Mid-Missouri, from routine maintenance and minor repairs to full replacements and new installations.
The average traditional tank water heater lasts 8 to 12 years with proper maintenance. If your unit is approaching or past this age, or if you are experiencing issues like inconsistent water temperature, rusty or discolored water, strange popping or rumbling noises, or visible corrosion around the tank, it may be time for a replacement. Our technicians can evaluate your current unit and give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement is the more cost-effective option for your situation.
When it comes to replacement, homeowners today have more options than ever. Traditional tank water heaters remain the most affordable upfront option and work well for most households. Tankless (on-demand) water heaters heat water only when needed, eliminating standby heat loss and providing an endless supply of hot water — ideal for larger families or homes where hot water demand is high. Heat pump water heaters use electricity extremely efficiently by extracting heat from the surrounding air, making them an excellent choice for homeowners looking to reduce energy costs.
We install and service all major brands including Rheem, Bradford White, A.O. Smith, Navien, Rinnai, and others. Our technicians are trained on both gas and electric models, and we handle all aspects of the installation including gas line connections, venting, electrical connections, and code-required pressure relief valve installation and testing. All our water heater installations comply with Missouri state plumbing code and local Jefferson City and Cole County requirements.
We also provide annual water heater maintenance services including sediment flushing, anode rod inspection and replacement, thermostat calibration, and pressure relief valve testing. Regular maintenance extends the life of your water heater and maintains peak efficiency, saving you money on energy bills and preventing premature failure.
