  • Tankless Water Heaters: These space-saving units heat water on demand, saving energy and providing endless hot water.

  • High-Efficiency Models: Modern units with better insulation and advanced technology to reduce energy consumption.

Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair

Your water heater tells you when it’s struggling. Rusty or discolored water coming from hot taps points to corrosion inside your tank or pipes. Loud popping or rumbling sounds signal sediment buildup affecting your heating element. Water taking longer to heat up means your thermostat might need adjustment or your heating elements could be failing.

Leaks around your water heater base need immediate attention, as they can cause serious water damage and point to tank problems. Small puddles might come from loose connections, while larger ones could mean tank corrosion. Temperature fluctuations during your shower hint at thermostat issues or a failing heating element.

When It’s Time for Water Heater Replacement

Most water heaters last 8-12 years, so if yours is approaching this age, replacement might make more sense than repair. Rising energy bills without household changes often signal that your heater is working harder than it should. Frequent repairs piling up cost more than a new, efficient unit in the long run.

Extensive tank corrosion or rust can’t be fixed, so once your tank develops these issues, replacement becomes necessary. Water that never gets hot enough despite repairs points to a system that can’t keep up with your needs. If your expansion tank shows signs of failure or your anode rod is completely corroded, these major components often make replacement the smarter choice.

Common Water Heater Problems We Fix

Sediment buildup ranks as the most common water heater problem we see. Over time, minerals settle at the bottom of your tank, causing strange noises and reduced heating efficiency. Our team flushes your system, removing this buildup to restore proper function and extend your heater’s life.

Broken heating elements in electric heaters lead to lukewarm or cold water. We test and replace these critical components to bring back your hot water. Thermostat failures cause temperature inconsistencies — our precise calibration or replacement services solve these issues quickly.

Pressure relief valve problems create safety hazards that need immediate attention. This valve prevents dangerous pressure buildup, and our techs check it during every service call. Anode rod corrosion allows tank deterioration to accelerate. We inspect and replace these protective rods before they fail completely, saving your water heater from early replacement.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Water heaters can break and leak for various reasons but some of the main problems are the water pressure is too high, a loose drain valve, wear and tear. Older water heaters tend to have parts that wear out over time due to corrosion and rusting.
Yes, one of the main reasons we get called out to a customer’s house is their water heater has broken down and isn’t supplying hot water anymore. Our professional plumbers can quickly fix or replace your tank in no time.
The answer to this question will depend on if your water heater has received regular maintenance or not. When you get regularly scheduled maintenance, it will prolong the life of your equipment. Most water heaters will last between ten and fifteen years on average.
Yes, some problems with water heaters can be repaired but not all. If you have an older model water heater it may be time to replace rather than keep repairing.
If you have a bad or faulty thermostat, this will continuously cause the reset button to pop out. Additionally, if the water in your tank exceeds 180 degrees as a safety feature, it will cause the button to pop, shutting your tank off. Other causes of this issue are a faulty reset button, bad heating element, and bad electrical connections.
It will depend on the location and size tank of the tank, and whether or not your previous tank was up to building codes. It is best to call us at (909) 883-8827 to provide us more information about your specific situation.
