No hot water, a leaking tank, or a unit on its last legs? Craven's repairs, replaces, and installs tank and tankless water heaters — often the same day — and gets your hot water back safely and up to code.
Few plumbing problems disrupt a household like a water heater that quits. Craven's Plumbing Specialist repairs, replaces, and installs water heaters of every type — traditional tank models and modern tankless (on-demand) systems — for homes and businesses across Northwest Georgia.
Whether you have no hot water, not enough hot water, a leaking tank, or strange popping and rumbling noises, owner Allen Craven and his crew diagnose the real problem and fix it right. As one Rome customer put it, Allen came out the same day on a 17-year-old unit and had a brand-new water heater installed that same afternoon.
With 25+ years in the trade, we'll give you an honest read on whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense — and a fair, up-front price before any work begins.
Any one of these is worth a call — a couple together usually means it's time.
Cold showers or hot water that runs out fast point to a failing element, thermostat, or undersized tank.
Pooling water or drips at the base of the tank signal a leak — and a tank leak only gets worse.
Rust-colored or murky hot water often means corrosion inside the tank.
Sediment buildup makes a heater work harder, run louder, and wear out sooner.
A water heater is easy to ignore until the morning it fails. But a leaking tank can cause real water damage, and an aging, sediment-filled unit quietly drives up your energy bill every month it keeps running.
We'll tell you honestly where your unit stands. A newer heater with a simple part failure is usually worth repairing; an older, leaking, or badly corroded tank is often smarter to replace — and a tankless upgrade can deliver endless hot water and lower energy use if it fits your home.
Whatever the path, every installation is done to code, and we back our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee plus parts and labor warranties.
From a quick repair to a full tankless upgrade, Craven's handles it all.

It depends on the unit's age, condition, and the problem. A newer heater with a failed part is usually worth repairing; an older, leaking, or heavily corroded tank is often better to replace. We'll give you an honest recommendation and an up-front price so you can decide with confidence.
Traditional tank water heaters typically last about 8–12 years, while tankless units can last considerably longer with proper maintenance. If yours is past the 10-year mark and giving you trouble, it's worth having us take a look.
