Fast, Reliable Water Heater Repair

Whatever the issue with your system, we'll diagnose the problem and get it back in action fast. Our experienced plumbers have seen it all and use state-of-the-art tools to provide precise repairs. Common issues we fix include:

No hot water

Whether it’s a pilot light problem, a faulty heating element, sediment buildup, or a malfunctioning thermostat, we’ll find the culprit and restore your hot water fast.

Rust-colored water

If your hot water looks like it came from the Wild West, your tank may be corroding from the inside. We’ll inspect your system and determine if a flush, anode rod replacement, or a new unit is needed.

Loud Popping Noises

Hard water buildup can turn your tank into a popcorn machine. We’ll flush out sediment deposits to improve efficiency and prevent long-term damage.

Leaking Tank

Water pooling around your heater? It could be a loose connection, a failed pressure relief valve, or a cracked tank. We’ll diagnose the source and recommend the best fix.

Water too hot or cold

If your water isn’t the right temperature, it could be a thermostat issue, a faulty gas control valve, or sediment interference. We’ll adjust or replace the necessary components to get things just right.

Pro Tip:

Regular maintenance, like flushing your tank annually and checking the anode rod, can extend the life of your water heater and improve efficiency!

Is It Time for an Upgrade?

Sometimes a repair just won't cut it. Here are some telltale signs that your hot water heater may be on its last legs:

Your water heater is older than 12 years.

Most traditional water heaters last 10–12 years. If yours is pushing past the decade mark, it might be running on borrowed time. A replacement can save you from an unexpected (and ice-cold) surprise.

Your hot water isn’t lasting like it used to.

Whether it’s a pilot light problem, a faulty heating element, sediment buildup, or a malfunctioning thermostat, we’ll find the culprit and restore your hot water fast.

You notice a leak near the water heater.

A puddle forming around your water heater is never a good sign. While some leaks are caused by loose connections, a cracked tank is a plumbing emergency—one that usually calls for a full replacement. Don’t wait—call us before a small leak turns into a flood.

Your pressure relief valve won’t stop dripping.

The pressure relief valve is an important safety feature that helps release excess pressure from your water heater. If it’s dripping steadily, it could mean one of two things: either the valve has failed, or your system is overheating. Either way, it’s time to bring in a pro to diagnose the problem and recommend a fix.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, give us a call! We’ll assess your water heater and help you determine whether a repair or replacement is the best solution.
