Ensure Constant Access to Hot Water with Water Heater Repair

Almost everyone will deal with a leak in their plumbing at some point or another. What’s more, these leaks can come from a number of different components, particularly as they get older. If the water heater has pools of standing water or leaks coming from nearby pipes, let us know! The location of the leak can help inform the potential severity of the underlying problem.

As an example, if the leak is near the top of the water heater, check the piping connections for signs of rust or any cracks. In many cases, these leaks can be resolved fairly easily. However, when your water heater springs a leak toward the base, it may be a more serious issue. In most cases it’s because the tank has cracked open due to age or extensive corrosion. In these cases, you might be better off requesting water heater installation instead.

Excessive or weak heating can be caused by sediment buildup, a faulty thermostat or if the water heater’s heating element has failed (only applies to electric models). For gas water heaters, the problem may stem from the pilot light going out, which can sometimes happen if it becomes too dirty. If there’s an unexpected change in your supply of hot water or if it’s taking longer than usual to heat up, call a Canyon State Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing plumbing technician.

The older your water heater is, the more susceptible it is to mineral and chemical buildup, which starts to rust the water heater. This rust can eventually lead to corrosion, which can impact other sections of your plumbing. Stained or discolored water is a sign you should schedule water heater repair. Our team of experts can inspect your water heater and determine the best course of action to prevent further damage.

Even comparatively small amounts of rust, chemicals, bacteria or sediment could lower your property’s water quality. They may lead to discoloration or produce an unpleasant taste or smell. Foul odors might be because of a bad anode rod. Even if bad odors aren’t the result of a problem with your water heater, we’ll still try and resolve the issue as soon as we can.
