Is a 12-Year water heater worth the extra money? Here's how we help homeowners decide. They call because they don't have hot water, their water heater is leaking, the pilot light won't stay lit, or they've been told it's time for a replacement. Once we've determined that replacing the water heater makes sense, we usually present two options: a standard 6-year model and a 12-year model.

At McCray & Sons Home Services, we've been helping homeowners throughout West Sacramento, Sacramento, Davis, Natomas, and the surrounding communities make that decision of whether to repair or replace your water heater for more than a decade. One thing we've learned is that there isn't one answer that's right for everyone.

We performed a targeted slab repair, replacing the damaged section of pipe, pressure testing the system, and restoring the concrete. When it failed, we addressed the issue at its source, and performed a full domestic repipe, rerouting the system overhead through the attic.

When people think about hiring a contractor, they often imagine something big. A remodel. A major repair. A disruptive, expensive project that takes over the house for weeks. But that’s not how most homes actually work. In reality, the majority of homes don’t need one massive project. They need a series of small, practical fixes that make daily life easier, safer, and less irritating. And that’s actually good news.

We’re proud to share some exciting news with our community: Mason and Warren of McCray & Sons Home Services have each earned official Certificates of Completion from Navien, covering Level 2 and Level 3 training in installation, operation, and service of Navien tankless water heaters.
