Signs You Need Water Heater Repair
Watch for these water heater issues that mean expert repairs are in order:
- Old water heater: Old water heaters cannot be expected to run as efficiently as today’s models, and they may become unreliable. With our professional water heater maintenance, however, you can extend the useful life of your equipment and often avoid major repairs.
- Water heater corrosion: Anywhere you have metal and water together in continual contact, you can develop rust. Let our team troubleshoot your water heater’s brown water problem. We may need to drain the tank to investigate and/or replace the anode rod. Our water treatment services can help decrease issues like limescale throughout your home.
- Water heater running out of hot water: If you don’t have enough hot water when you need it, life can get pretty frustrating. Family harmony may even be at risk. Instead of banning the kids from using the washer while you’re in the shower, get your water heater fixed right. You may need a new, larger tank model, an additional storage tank, or a tankless water heater.
- Water heater noise: Strange sounds from your water heater tank are not only annoying, but they could also be trying to tell you something. Let one of our experienced technicians get to the bottom of it. Often, popping water heater sounds are due to sediment in the bottom of the tank, which can trap hot water at the bottom and cause it to boil.
- Water heater leakage: If you notice your water heater leaking or a small, mysterious pool of water near the unit, you may be headed for a water heater flood. Let us repair your plumbing pipe connections or water heater to eliminate your leak.

Water Heater Repair FAQs
Should I Repair Or Replace My Water Heater?
If your water heater isn’t too old and hasn’t needed frequent service, repairs usually make more financial sense.
The balance tilts toward replacement as your water heater’s age exceeds 10 years, you find yourself needing repairs frequently, or your demands for efficiency or performance exceed what your current model is capable of.
Are Gas Or Electric Water Heaters More Efficient?
The answer is somewhat complicated, so the water heater you choose depends on your unique needs.
Technically speaking, electric water heaters are more efficient because they convert a higher percentage of incoming fuel into heat without waste.
But in terms of being cheaper to operate, gas prices tend to be lower per unit of heat than electricity. While you may waste some of the energy in the gas you combust, it’s cheap enough that you can come out ahead financially.
Electric and combustion-based systems also have different rates of wear and tear and upfront costs.
Can I Fix My Own Water Heater?
Trying to DIY a water heater can be a risky endeavor, even if you don’t have a gas-based water heater.
At a minimum, a mistake with your water heater might end with water damage and/or scalding hot water where you don’t want it.
We highly recommend leaving everything but basic maintenance to a professional — and even basic maintenance can be a bit of a hassle to get right without the appropriate tools and knowledge.
Do I Need Water Heater Repairs If I Still Have Hot Water?
If you notice a problem with your water heater, like strange noises or smells, an unreliable pilot light, etc., take action immediately.
Even if it’s not a dangerous problem of any sort, whatever is causing the problem likely will get worse over time — and the problem will get costlier to remedy as a result.
