Kannapolis is about 15 minutes south of Landis. We repair and replace gas and electric tank water heaters across the city, on both county sides. In older mill homes near downtown, the water heater often sits in a tight closet or crawl space, which shapes how a replacement goes in. Newer homes toward I-85 may have garage units.

Kannapolis is about 9 miles from our base in Landis, roughly 15 minutes south on US 29 through China Grove. That puts it inside our regular service area. When you call, tell us your street and the problem so we can plan the visit and bring the right parts.
Popping or rumbling usually means sediment has built up on the bottom of the tank. Water trapped under the sediment boils and pops as the burner heats it. Flushing the tank can help if the buildup is caught early. On an older unit, it can be a sign the tank is wearing out.
