Most standard 40 to 50 gallon tank water heater replacements in the Tampa area run about $1,800 to $3,500 installed, including removal of the old unit, permit and code updates. Tankless installations usually run $3,500 to $6,500 depending on gas or electric and how much the existing lines need to change. We give you the price before any work starts.

A sewer camera inspection in Tampa typically costs $250 to $500. We run a camera through the line, show you the footage, and tell you exactly where any roots, breaks or blockages are before recommending a repair.

A tank water heater costs less up front and is simple to replace. A tankless unit costs more to install but lasts longer, takes up less space and never runs out of hot water. For households that use a lot of hot water at once, or that plan to stay in the home for years, tankless is often worth it.
