Water Heater Repair & Replacement
Common Issues We Address
While water heaters are durable appliances that can offer years of reliable service, they tend to experience problems over time due to wear and tear or poor maintenance. Some of the most common issues we address include:
Leaks
Water heaters are susceptible to leaking around the bottom or from valves and pipes due to poor maintenance, wear and tear, or age.
Pressure relief valve issues
The pressure relief valve is a crucial component of the water heater that releases excess pressure if it accumulates inside the tank. A defective PRV needs prompt attention as it might cause extensive property damage.
Constant running or noisy operation
If your water heater makes unusual noises or runs constantly without turning off, this might indicate an issue with the pressure relief valve, poor insulation, or sediment buildup inside the tank.
Temperature issues
If your water is not becoming hot as it used to be, there could be a problem with the thermostat, heating element, or pilot light.
Discolored water
Rust-colored water usually indicates corrosion inside the tank. This could mean the tank is gradually deteriorating and might eventually leak.
Signs Replacement Is Needed
Signs you need water heater replacement include:
Leaks around the tank
Cold water coming from the hot faucet
Inadequate hot water supply
Reduced hot water pressure
Strange sounds coming from the system
