On average, a storage tank lasts about 12 years before needing replacement. However, it often develops issues that call for professional attention within that time. One of the most common problems is faulty thermostats. Your water heater’s thermostat monitors the stored water temperature and tells it when to turn on. When it malfunctions, your heater may not produce hot enough water or make your water too hot. Typically, replacing the thermostat will resolve the issue.
In some cases, however, your water heater’s thermostat may behave strangely due to sediment buildup in your tank. Your home’s water supply contains various minerals and dissolved solids. While safe to drink, they can cause issues in your water heater. Those solids often settle in the bottom of your storage tank, interfering with its operation. A thermostat malfunction is one possibility, but sediment buildup can also cause heating element malfunctions. That can lead to inefficient operation and even a loss of hot water. Sediment buildup will also lower your heater’s storage capacity, which might cause you to run short of hot water.
Our hot water tank repair service effectively resolves a variety of issues:
Pilot light or ignition problems
Temperature fluctuations
Unusual noises
Stuck pressure relief valve
Inlet leaks
If your storage tank leaks, you should immediately cut off its water supply and turn it off. There’s typically a shutoff valve located somewhere close to the tank’s inlet. Gas models will have a knob near the base that you can turn to the off position to deactivate them. For electric models, you’ll need to turn off their power. One of our plumbers will flush your hot water heater to remove sediment buildup, improving efficiency and extending its lifespan. This process prevents clogs, reduces energy consumption, and ensures a steady supply of hot water.
