Common Water Heater Problems We Fix

No Hot Water or Inconsistent Heating

If your water heater isn’t producing hot water or fluctuates between hot and cold, it could be due to a faulty heating element, thermostat, or gas pilot issue. Our technicians diagnose and repair the exact cause to restore consistent performance.

Low Hot Water Pressure

Weak hot water flow may indicate mineral buildup, pipe blockages, or faulty valves. We clean and optimize the water lines to restore proper pressure and maintain balanced flow throughout your home.

Leaking Water Heater Tank

A leaking tank often signals internal corrosion, worn seals, or high-pressure buildup. We inspect the tank, valves, and connections to stop leaks and prevent water damage to surrounding areas.

Rust-Colored or Foul-Smelling Water

If your water looks rusty or smells unpleasant, it’s usually due to corroded tank interiors or bacterial contamination. Our team replaces the anode rod, flushes the system, and ensures your water stays clean and odor-free.

Strange Noises or Rumbling Sounds

Sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank can cause popping, banging, or rumbling noises during heating. We perform draining, flushing, or descaling to remove sediment and improve system efficiency.

Pilot Light or Ignition Problems (Gas Units)

For gas water heaters, a faulty pilot light or ignition system can prevent proper heating. We repair or replace the thermocouple, gas valve, or ignition components to restore safe operation.

Water Heater Installation & Repair FAQs

How much does it cost to install or repair a water heater?

It depends on the issue and the type of unit. Small repairs like replacing a thermostat, valve, or heating element typically cost between $150–$450. Full installations usually range from $800–$1,500 depending on the tank size, venting, and fuel type. Tankless systems cost more initially but save on energy in the long run. We always inspect first, provide a clear estimate, and proceed only with your approval—no hidden fees or surprises.

Do you offer emergency water heater repair services?

Yes, we’re available 24/7. Whether your tank starts leaking late at night or you wake up to no hot water, our plumbers are ready to respond. We handle nights, weekends, and holidays because hot water can’t wait. Most common repairs can be completed in a single visit since our trucks are fully stocked.

What types of water heaters can you repair or install?

We service and install gas, electric, and tankless water heaters—covering both older storage units and new high-efficiency systems. Not sure what type you have? We’ll inspect your setup, determine the right capacity, and recommend the best options for your home and budget. We also handle permits, venting, and safe disposal of old units.

How do I know if I need a new water heater or just a repair?

Age and performance are key indicators. If your tank is leaking, rusty, or more than 12 years old, replacement is often the smarter move. Intermittent temperature issues or slow recovery times may only need a repair. We’ll always explain your options and help you make a confident, cost-effective decision.

Do you provide warranties on water heater work?

Yes. All installations and repairs come with a workmanship warranty, plus manufacturer coverage on new units. We’ll review all warranty terms, timelines, and maintenance steps with you so you stay fully protected. If an issue arises within the warranty period, we’ll fix it at no extra cost.

Can you install energy-efficient or tankless water heaters?

Absolutely. Tankless water heaters offer endless hot water and reduce energy costs when properly sized and installed. High-efficiency storage tanks are also great for larger households. We’ll assess your plumbing, power or gas capacity, and hot water usage to recommend the best solution—never upselling, just the right fit for your home.
