Brooklyn’s prewar brownstones, modern condos, and classic row houses all have one thing in common: hot water is non-negotiable. When a water heater fails, every hour counts. CountBricks combines seasoned residential construction pros with AI-driven estimating tools to restore comfort—fast. Our realtime voice-to-estimate platform captures onsite details, pulls current material pricing, and generates a transparent repair proposal before we leave your stoop.
• Skyrocketing utility bills caused by inefficient burners or faulty elements
• Accelerated tank corrosion leading to a full replacement instead of a simple fix
• Risk of property damage from leaks that seep into hardwood floors or finished basements
• Hidden safety hazards if gas valves or venting systems are compromised
1. Voice Assessment: Our tech records a guided conversation, capturing model numbers, age, error codes, and site constraints.
2. Instant Estimate: CountBricks AI cross-references real-time Brooklyn supplier pricing and local labor rates, generating a line-item estimate on the spot.
3. Digital Approval: Review and sign on your phone; no more paper contracts or waiting days for numbers.
4. Same-Day Dispatch: Parts list syncs to our warehouse. If inventory is on hand, a licensed plumber heads back within hours.
5. Live Update Invoice: As work progresses, materials consumed and tasks logged automatically update your invoice so there are zero surprises at hand-off.
• Pilot lights that won’t stay lit in drafty garden apartments
• Sediment build-up accelerating in hard NYC water, causing rumbling tanks
• TRP valve discharges triggered by fluctuating building water pressure
• Electric element burnout from outdated wiring
• Faulty gas flex lines corroded by coastal humidity
Our AI platform compares repair costs against current replacement prices—including delivery and disposal fees—so you can make a data-backed decision. If replacement edges out repair, CountBricks can pivot instantly, converting the estimate into a full install proposal without re-entering data.
• Unit older than 10 years and out of warranty
• Repairs exceed 50% of replacement cost
• Visible rust around fittings or in hot water
• Tank capacity no longer meets household demand
Local Law 97 and upcoming New York State efficiency standards are changing how residential water heaters are specified. CountBricks tracks code updates in our database, flagging opportunities to upgrade to high-efficiency or hybrid electric units. This future-proofs your investment and can qualify you for Con Edison rebates—information automatically added to your quote.
• Flush the tank annually to remove sediment and improve efficiency
• Test the temperature and pressure relief valve every six months
• Insulate hot water lines in unheated spaces to reduce standby losses
• Install a leak detector with automatic shut-off for condo applications
• Keep the thermostat at 120°F to limit scale build-up and save energy
Every estimate links back to CountBricks.com/services, where you can examine task descriptions, material SKUs, and labor breakdowns. Our platform updates Brooklyn supplier prices nightly, so the figure you approve reflects today’s market, not last quarter’s catalog.

When a ninth-floor condo owner noticed lukewarm water and faint rust stains, she booked a CountBricks consultation. Our technician used the AI voice workflow to log the serial number of a 12-year-old electric heater, note restricted elevator access, and record building bylaws requiring after-hours service.
1. Data-Driven Diagnosis: The platform estimated a 70% likelihood of tank failure within six months based on age and water quality history in North Brooklyn.
2. Instant Comparison: Repair cost—$480 for dual element swap plus labor. Replacement cost—$1,150 for a slim-profile 50-gallon unit meeting the building’s electric load limits. The software auto-applied a $150 Con Ed efficiency rebate, narrowing the gap.
3. Smart Decision: The owner opted for replacement. CountBricks scheduled delivery via freight elevator, preventing hallway damage fees common in high-rise work.
4. Seamless Execution: The live invoice updated as our crew navigated access permits and disposal. Final cost matched the digital quote to the dollar.
• Centralized Data: Building managers access every unit’s service history in one dashboard
• Permission Workflows: Automated alerts ensure board approvals before tools arrive onsite
• Noise & Hour Controls: Scheduling matrix aligns with quiet-hour regulations, avoiding fines
