Expert Water Heater Repair in New Jersey

When your water heater stops working, Carmine P Aumenta & Sons Plumbing & Heating Inc. is ready to diagnose and repair the problem across Mendham, Morristown, Summit, Basking Ridge, Hoboken, Jersey City, Cranford, Westfield, and the surrounding NJ area. We repair tank and tankless units on gas and electric systems. Common issues we address include no hot water, leaking tanks, a pilot light that will not stay lit, popping or rumbling noises from sediment buildup, inconsistent water temperature, and faulty T&P valves. Homes across Morris, Somerset, and Union counties often have units installed in tight basements with older gas connections and venting, which calls for experienced hands. Hard water throughout northern and central NJ also accelerates sediment buildup and anode rod wear, putting extra strain on any unit. We inspect your system, identify the root cause, and give you a clear picture of whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your home. Call us to get your hot water running again.

Water Heater Repair FAQ

Common questions about water heater repair in New Jersey.

Yes, popping or rumbling noises almost always mean sediment has built up at the bottom of the tank. A professional flush can clear the buildup and protect the unit from further damage.

Yes, we diagnose and repair leaks at the T&P valve, drain valve, inlet and outlet connections, and tank fittings. If the tank itself has corroded through, we will tell you clearly so you can make the right call.

No hot water usually points to a failed heating element, a faulty thermostat, a tripped thermocouple, or a gas valve issue. We inspect the unit and identify the exact cause before any work begins.

Yes, we service tank and tankless water heaters in Jersey City, Hoboken, and Bayonne. Hard water conditions in Hudson County can speed up internal scaling, so we check for that during every service call.

A unit with a single failed part is usually worth repairing. If your Cranford water heater is showing rusty water, repeated leaks, or frequent failures, we will give you an honest assessment on the spot.

Yes, we cover Randolph, Chester, Long Hill, and all surrounding Morris County communities. Older homes in these areas often have units in tight utility spaces that need careful handling.

My family has called on Aumenta Plumbing for years! And they have always provide excellent service. In June, we had to have a toilet replaced and a kitchen faucet installed. They discovered during the toilet replacement, that one of our old pipes had been decaying. They were able to include that repair on the same day. Then more recently, we needed our bathtub unclogged and they came right away. My family and I are so glad that Carmine's sons have continued the business and the level of service quality that their father provided. Highly recommend!

As the owner of a historic single family home in Jersey City, since 2014, I have turned to Ben and his family for all my plumbing needs— from boiler maintenance to major work and even emergencies. This family run business has always been there with top quality work and professionalism. I highly recommend Aumenta.

Ben Aumenta handled our job, everything with our hot water heather replacement job was quick and clear. We had an issue with the exhaust pipe on our previous hot water heater so Ben made sure he could fit us in asap to replace the whole set up. He also noticed that the condensation pipe from our HVAC system was dropped on an angle that would make draining difficult and he propped it up for us even though we hadn't hired him for the HVAC. Great attention to detail and care for the customer, we're really happy. Communication from Aumenta was excellent - email and text notifications when the estimate was scheduled as well as when the install was happening, so we always knew what to expect. We'd definitely recommend them!

Absolutely outstanding service from start to finish! From the very first call, the receptionist was professional, prompt, and genuinely sweet. She made what could have been a stressful situation feel completely effortless. Even though we called last minute, they kindly squeezed us into their schedule and were true to their word on the arrival time. Our plumber from Carmine P. Aumenta & Sons Plumbing-Heating was an absolute pleasure — kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. He got the job done quickly while making us feel completely at ease. This is exactly how a family business should operate: with warmth, expertise, and total reliability. They are most certainly making their late father proud. We will happily call Carmine P. Aumenta & Sons for any future plumbing or heating needs. Highly, highly recommend!

Kristina Google review · June 2026

My sister recommended Aumenra Plumbing to me last year. I had them come and replace my hot water heater and repair an issue with my furnace. They were efficient and reasonably priced. I called them this year to replace the connection for my garden hose and then to add a water line for my washing machine. I am more than pleased with their work and recommend them highly.
