How do I know when to replace my water heater in Cerritos?

Do I need a permit to replace my water heater in Cerritos, CA?

Can I replace my tank water heater with a tankless unit in Cerritos?

"Had a slab leak that three other plumbers could not find. These guys located it in under an hour with their detection equipment and had it repaired the same day. Excellent work, fair price."

"Had an under-slab water line burst. They came out that day, capped off the bad line and restored water to the rest of the house, then rerouted the water line through the attic with minimal drywall damage. Very clean, respectful, knowledgeable, and professional. Only plumber I will ever call."
