Signs You Need Water Heater Service (& Why You Shouldn't Wait)
A failing water heater often gives warning signs before it quits completely. Ignoring them can lead to higher energy bills, a much more expensive emergency call, or even serious water damage from a tank failure. If you notice any of these issues, it's time to call a professional:
- No Hot Water or Lukewarm Water: The most obvious sign that a component like a heating element or thermostat has failed.
- Running Out of Hot Water Quickly: A layer of sediment in your tank could be reducing its capacity and efficiency.
- Popping, Rumbling, or Banging Noises: This is often caused by sediment buildup hardening at the bottom of the tank, a clear warning sign of inefficiency and potential failure.
- Cloudy, Rusty, or Smelly Water: This can indicate corrosion inside your tank, which requires immediate attention.
- Water Leaking Around the Base: Any leak, no matter how small, is an urgent problem that can lead to significant water damage and tank failure.
A broken water heater isn't just a plumbing problem—it's a ticking clock that risks your property and your budget.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heater Repair
How do I know if I need a water heater repair or replacement?
Our rule of thumb is based on age and repair cost. If your water heater is less than 10 years old and the repair is less than 50% of the cost of a new unit, a repair is almost always the better financial choice. Our technicians provide honest assessments to help you decide.
How long does a water heater repair take?
Most common repairs, like replacing a thermostat or heating element, can be completed in just a few hours. We stock our trucks with the most common parts to ensure we can finish the job in a single visit whenever possible.
Is a leaking water heater an emergency?
Yes. Even a small leak can indicate a serious internal problem like tank corrosion. It can quickly escalate, leading to a burst tank and major flooding. If you see a leak, shut off the water supply to the tank and call us immediately.
