A puddle under the tank means fitting, valve, or the tank itself. Here’s how to tell.
What to doNo heat
Boiler or furnace won’t start on a cold morning. We repair, maintain, and replace both.

Why “Water Heater Experts”
Hot water is the one thing in a house nobody can live without. When a tank fails on a cold morning, everything stops. That’s why we built the business around it.
We repair, replace, and install tank and tankless water heaters from every major brand — Bradford White, A. O. Smith, Rheem, Navien, Rinnai — plus indirect tanks on boiler systems, which a lot of Black Hills homes run. Our trucks carry the elements, thermostats, thermocouples, T&P valves, and expansion tanks that fail most often in Rapid City water, so most repairs are finished on the first visit.
Rapid City’s water is hard. Scale builds up in the bottom of a tank, the burner works harder, and the unit dies years early. A $95 flush and inspection every year or two is the cheapest plumbing money you’ll ever spend — and if it’s already too late, we’ll tell you straight whether a repair or a replacement is the smarter spend.

In their own words.
★★★★★Had Rapid City Plumbing out to do a repipe and repair the water heater. They were prompt, took less than a day and cleaned up when they were done. Fast, friendly and professional. I'd call them again in a heartbeat.

★★★★★Chad is a great guy to work with and someone I highly recommend! He is extremely knowledgeable, honest, trustworthy, and truly cares about making sure the job is done right. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in what he does, and it shows in the quality of his work. It's not always easy to find someone you can trust when you need work done, but Chad is definitely one of those people. If you're looking for a reliable plumber who will treat you right and stand behind his work, give Chad and his company a call. You won't be disappointed!
