Water Heater Repair
Failed elements, thermostats, valves and igniters can often be repaired. A leaking tank cannot.
When a repair is the right call
Not every water heater problem means a new tank. If the tank itself isn't leaking, a failed part can often be replaced and the heater put back to work.
- Electric heaters: heating elements and thermostats
- Gas heaters: igniters and related lighting or flame-sensing parts
- Shutoff valves and connectors that leak at a joint
- A temperature-and-pressure relief valve that has failed
- A dip tube that has broken, sending cold water out the hot side
When you call, tell us whether the unit is gas or electric and what it is doing — cold, lukewarm, noisy, or leaking at a fitting. We'll tell you if a repair is likely or if we should be talking about replacement instead.
What we won't pretend a repair can do
A hole or crack in the tank isn't a repair job. Neither is a tank that has already been opened up by rust from the inside. In those cases the honest next step is replacement. We'll say that up front rather than sell a part that won't hold.
Every job is different. Call us to talk through your job and pricing. Our trip charge is credited toward your repair when you go ahead with the work.
Repair questions
Do you repair water heaters or only replace them?
Both. We repair residential water heaters when a repair will solve the problem, and we replace them when the tank is leaking or the unit is at the end of its useful life. Call and describe what you're seeing.
My water heater is making popping or rumbling noises.
That's often sediment on the bottom of the tank heating and releasing steam bubbles. It isn't an emergency by itself, but it's a sign the tank is working harder than it should. Call and describe it if you also have leaking, rusty water or not enough hot water.
The relief valve on my water heater is dripping.
The temperature-and-pressure relief valve is a safety device. A little drip after a heavy use of hot water can happen; a steady drip or a valve that has been leaking for a while should be looked at. Don't cap it. Call us.
