Common Water Heater Problems We Repair
Water heaters can fail for many reasons, including age, wear and tear, lack of maintenance, and harsh weather conditions. The most common issues include:
Tank Leaks: Over time, the tank can develop rust or corrosion, leading to leaks that may go unnoticed until the damage is significant.
Pilot Light Issues: For gas water heaters, the pilot light can go out, leaving you without hot water. We can safely relight the pilot or replace the thermocouple.
Faulty Gas Control Valves: If your unit isn’t getting enough gas or is overworking, you could experience poor heating efficiency. Our technicians will inspect and replace faulty valves to restore your water heater’s performance.
Sediment Build-Up: Sediment can accumulate inside your water heater over time, reducing efficiency and causing the tank to overheat. Regular flushing can prevent this issue.
