Water Heater Repair

No hot water

Several issues can result in a lack of hot water. Depending on whether you have a gas or electric water heater, your hot water issue could be caused by:

Faulty heating elements
Tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses
Bad gas connection
Pilot light problems
A faulty burner
A faulty thermostat

Fluctuating or inconsistent water temperature

If your water heater supplies hot water but runs out quickly, it might be undersized for your needs. A plumber can assess your home’s usage to determine a correctly sized replacement.

In other cases, inconsistent or fluctuating temperature suggests your unit is straining to keep up with demands due to a faulty component or sediment buildup. A faulty thermostat may also cause water heater temperature control issues.

Low hot water pressure

Faulty parts, corrosion, and leaks in your hot water tank or plumbing system can impact the water pressure of your showers. Sediment buildup and clogs also contribute to poor water flow.

Strange noises

Water heaters may make popping, banging, hissing, banging, and other strange sounds when they’re not working properly. These water heater noises most often stem from sediment buildup or failing heating elements, which reduce efficiency and lead to greater damage.

Discolored water

Cloudy or rust-colored water suggests sediment, rust, or corrosion in your water heater’s tank. A plumber can flush the water heater or replace the anode rod to resolve these issues, but if they persist, your unit may be due for replacement.

Leaks and puddles

Some condensation around your water heater is normal, but leaking, puddling water around the base, or significant dampness on nearby surfaces signals bigger concerns. Water heater leaks typically come from a corroded tank or loose fittings, which require prompt repair to avoid escalated damage.

Preventative Maintenance Tips

Good water heater maintenance practices help prevent breakdowns, improve efficiency, and extend its lifespan, reducing expenses related to energy consumption, repair costs, and early replacements. Follow these tips for preventative maintenance:

Regular maintenance: Schedule maintenance annually or more frequently as needed for thorough inspections, tune-ups, and upkeep recommendations.
Annual flushing: Drain and flush the water tank annually to avoid sediment buildup.
Anode rod checks: Anode rods last up to three years, but many require earlier replacement depending on your water quality and other factors. Inspect it periodically and schedule replacement as needed.
Correct temperature settings: Most homes set their water heaters to about 120°F, which prevents overheating, strain, and undue wear.
Regular inspections: Between professional maintenance and repair services, routinely check your water heater for leaks or other signs of damage.
