Plumbing

A leak that's actively flooding, coming from a burst supply line, or affecting electrical areas needs immediate attention. A slow drip or minor clog can usually wait for a scheduled appointment.

It depends on the type (tank vs. tankless), fuel source, and whether existing venting and connections can be reused. A plumber can give you options once they've seen the installation.

Many jurisdictions require a permit for water heater replacement and any new supply or drain lines, though simple fixture swaps usually don't. A licensed plumber will know your local requirements.
