Water heaters are one of the most common plumbing calls in Brainerd. We install, repair, and replace both Bradford White tank water heaters and Navien tankless and condensing units. Each has its place - and the right answer depends on the home.
Bradford White tank water heaters are the workhorse choice for most Brainerd homes. They are reliable, long-lived, simple to service, and pair well with existing gas, propane, or electric setups. For a like-for-like replacement on a working tank installation, Bradford White is usually the most cost-effective path.
Navien tankless and condensing units are the better choice when you want continuous hot water, lower standby losses, or you need to free up basement floor space. Tankless makes particular sense for lake cabins and second homes, where the unit can sit idle for weeks and still deliver full hot water on a holiday weekend without the standby heat loss of a tank. Larger homes with multiple bathrooms running simultaneously are also good tankless candidates.
Whichever direction makes sense, we size the unit to the home, check fuel supply and venting capacity, and quote in writing before work starts. See tankless water heater installation and tank water heater repair for service-specific detail.
Brainerd has a mix of newer PVC sewer laterals and older cast-iron and clay lines, especially in homes built before the 1980s. That mix shapes how we approach drain and sewer work. For straightforward clogs in good lines, mechanical snaking clears the blockage and gets you back online quickly. For grease-heavy kitchen lines, root-intruded laterals, or recurring main-line backups, hydro-jetting is the right tool - it scours the pipe wall instead of just punching a hole through the clog.
Before jetting an older line, we run a sewer camera inspection to confirm the pipe is sound enough to handle the pressure. Old cast-iron with heavy corrosion or fragile clay with separated joints sometimes needs spot repair or replacement instead of jetting. We tell you what the camera sees and quote the repair option that fits.
