Most University Center homes were built around 1998, and 5% predate 1980 — so a lot of them still run their original supply pipe and water heaters, well past service life. We check pipe condition, water-heater age, and shut-off valves on every visit.

First check the basics: on a gas unit, see whether the pilot or burner is lit; on an electric unit, check the breaker and the reset button on the thermostat. If you see water pooling around the tank or smell gas, shut off the water and gas supply and call our University Center line at (213) 579-0947 right away — crews across Broad Run Farms, Potomac Farms carry replacement elements, thermostats, gas valves, and full water heaters for a same-visit fix.

For a burst pipe, shut off your main water valve first, then call us — but repairs on gas water heaters, sewer lines, and pressurized supply lines are best left to a licensed plumber. Gas connections, scalding water, and code-required venting make DIY genuinely risky.
