From a cold shower this morning to a full tankless upgrade, Bruce Bunch gets your hot water back and keeps it flowing — done right the first time.
When your water runs cold, you want someone who shows up, tells you straight what is going on, and fixes it without a sales pitch. Bruce Bunch has spent 32 years installing, repairing, and replacing water heaters across Columbus and the Chattahoochee Valley, and he treats your hot water like it is his own family's.
Whether you have a traditional tank unit humming along in the garage, a tankless system on the wall, or you are weighing a full upgrade, Bruce sizes the job to your home and your budget. No upselling, no guesswork — just honest advice from a Georgia Licensed Master Plumber who has seen it all.
As an owner-operated shop, the person who quotes your water heater is the person who works on it. That means fair, upfront pricing and work that holds up, on both the West Georgia and East Alabama sides of the valley.

Learn More →A water heater is one of the hardest-working appliances in your home, running quietly every day until the morning it does not. Gas connections, pressure relief valves, venting, and hot water lines all have to be right, and small mistakes turn into leaks, scalding, or worse.
Bruce diagnoses the actual problem instead of defaulting to a full replacement. Sometimes it is a failed element, a bad thermostat, or sediment buildup that a proper flush can cure — and sometimes a tired 15-year-old tank really is done. You get the honest version either way.
Because he handles residential, commercial, and septic properties across the region, Bruce knows how local water quality and older Columbus-area plumbing affect your unit's lifespan, and he plans the work around it.
Every water heater job comes with the same standard of care:

Bruce or the crew arrives on time, finds the real source of the problem, and explains it in plain language.

We fix it right the first time, clean up after ourselves, and stand behind every job we do.
A conventional tank unit often lasts 8 to 12 years, while a well-maintained tankless system can go 20 or more. Water quality, sediment, and how hard the unit works all play a part. Bruce can tell you where yours stands and whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
It depends on the age of the unit and what actually failed. A younger tank with a bad element or thermostat is usually worth repairing, while an old, rusting, or leaking tank is often smarter to replace. Bruce gives you the honest math instead of pushing the bigger job.
Yes. Bruce installs and services traditional tank units, on-demand tankless systems, and hot water recirculation setups. He will walk you through the trade-offs so you pick the right fit for your home and budget.
A leaking tank can flood a garage or closet fast, so it is worth acting quickly. Shut off the water supply to the unit if you can, and call 706-527-3829. Bruce handles emergencies 24/7 across the Columbus area.

That is often sediment buildup or a failing anode rod inside the tank, and sometimes it points to a deeper issue. A flush and inspection usually reveal the cause. Bruce checks it out and tells you whether it is a quick fix or a sign the tank is on its way out.
