Hot Water Tank Repair Service
Look for signs that indicate problems with your hot water tank and heater. These signs include water pooling around the base of the unit, a lack of warm water from your faucets and fixtures, and visible damage to your water heater tank or its pressure relief valve. You may notice inconsistent water temperatures; for instance, the water may be very hot one day and ice cold the next. You might notice your water heater produces less hot water, which may result from a buildup of sediment inside your tank. Check your energy bill for spikes in usage; a leak in your tank water heater will cause water to seep from a valve or connection. If water comes out of your fixtures looking orange, red, or brown, or if the water smells odd, it is obviously not normal, and you should contact one of our plumbers. A malfunctioning water heater consumes more energy, which reflects on your monthly utility bills. Your unit might be inefficient, leaking, or overheating.
There are several common issues that can occur with your hot water heater:
- Thermostat damage
- Pilot light issues
- Sediment and mineral accumulation
- Leaks
- Clogs
- Part damage
- Water pressure issues
- Contamination
We recommend that one of our plumbers assess the problem and provide a solution. Working on a water heater poses dangers, especially for individuals without professional experience. Hot water tank heaters combine electricity and water, which can create hazardous situations for homeowners. If substantial damage occurs to your hot water tank, if you have owned it for at least 8 years, or if safety concerns arise with your current heater, we may suggest replacing it with a new model.
