    About This Service

    Get Your Hot Water Back, Fast

    A water heater problem throws off your whole household, from showers to dishes to laundry. Most issues come down to a failed part such as a thermostat, heating element, gas valve, thermocouple or igniter, and many can be fixed in a single visit.

    Our plumbers test your unit, find the failed component and explain your options in plain language. If your heater is near the end of its life, we will show you why and help you choose a replacement that fits your home and budget. Water heating accounts for about 18% of a home's energy use, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, so an efficient unit pays off.

    Warning Signs

    Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair

    Catching these early can prevent a cold shower or a flooded basement.

    No Hot Water or Not Enough

    Running out of hot water quickly often means a failed element, thermostat or heavy sediment buildup.

    Water Pooling Around the Tank

    Leaks from valves, fittings or the tank itself need attention before they damage floors and walls.

    Popping or Rumbling Noises

    Sediment on the bottom of the tank causes banging sounds and makes the heater work harder.

    Rusty or Discolored Water

    Brown or rusty hot water can point to a failing anode rod or corrosion inside the tank.

    Pilot Light Will Not Stay Lit

    A bad thermocouple, gas valve or draft problem can keep a gas heater from staying on.

    Water Too Hot or Fluctuating

    Temperature swings usually mean a faulty thermostat or a mixing valve problem.

    FAQ

    Water Heater Repair Questions, Answered

    Still have a question about water heater repair? Call and talk to a real person.

    How long do water heaters last?

    Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years, and tankless units often last 20 years with regular maintenance. Age, water quality and upkeep all play a role.

    Should I repair or replace my water heater?

    If your heater is under 8 years old and the problem is a part like a thermostat or valve, repair usually makes sense. If the tank is leaking or the unit is older, replacement is often the better value.

    Why is there no hot water in my house?

    Common causes include a pilot light that went out, a tripped breaker, a failed heating element, a bad thermostat or a faulty gas valve. We can diagnose it quickly.

    How often should a water heater be flushed?

    Once a year is a good rule for most homes. Flushing removes sediment that reduces efficiency and causes noise.
