How We Repair Water Heater Systems

If you’ve already tried looking up how to fix water heater problems and maybe even tried a few things yourself, please let our professional technicians take it from here. These systems might seem simple, but between electrical parts, gas connections, and pressure buildup, there’s a lot that can go wrong very quickly.

Our licensed technicians have years of experience working on water heater systems. We’ve seen just about every issue under the sun and know exactly what it takes to fix it safely, correctly, and without wasting time. For the water heater repair Sacramento, CA, relies on, it’s America’s Plumbing Company.

Water Is Too Hot or Too Cold? It Might Be a Broken Temperature Sensor

If your water suddenly swings from freezing to scalding, the temperature sensor is likely failing. Our skilled technicians test the sensor, recalibrate it, or replace it if needed. While we’re checking the controls, we also make sure safety components—like the pressure relief valve—are functioning properly so the system heats safely.

Water Heater Popping or Banging Noises? It’s a Common Problem

Hard water in Sacramento causes mineral buildup at the bottom of the tank. Over time, that buildup forces the unit to work harder, raises energy costs, and often leads to unusual noises like popping or rumbling during heating. We flush out the sediment, check the anode rod for wear, and restore the heater’s efficiency. If buildup is a recurring problem, we can also talk about a water softener installation.

No Hot Water in an Electric Unit? A Broken Heating Element Could Be the Cause

If your electric water heater is running but not heating, the element may have burned out.

We test the element, replace it if needed, and make sure everything else checks out.

Pilot Light Keeps Going Out? That’s Not Just Annoying—It’s a Safety Issue

Gas tank water heaters rely on a steady flame to heat water, and when the pilot light fails, so does the heat. It could be the thermocouple, the gas line, or something deeper in the ignition system. We’ll get it diagnosed and fixed safely so your system runs like it should.

Seeing Rust or Corrosion? That’s Your Water Heater Telling You Something

Corrosion inside your tank or on your connections can lead to leaks or total system failure.

We evaluate the damage and let you know if a repair will do or if it’s time to consider water heater replacement. We’ll give you straight answers and real options.

Water Pooling Around the Heater? That’s a Leak You Don’t Want to Ignore

Even small leaks can cause big problems over time, from floor damage to mold. We track down the source, whether it’s a loose valve or a cracked tank. Then we make repairs that last, so your water heater system stays dry and dependable.

Water Heater Not Working? Bad Installs Can Cause Ongoing Problems

Poor venting, loose fittings, and incorrect hookups can lead to leaks, breakdowns, and even wasted energy through avoidable standby energy loss. We’ll inspect your system step by step, correct the installation mistakes, and bring everything up to code. Once the setup is right, your water heater can finally run the way it was designed to.

Trust Us to Get Your Water Heater Working Properly Again

When you schedule a water heater repair with us, we arrive on time, take a close look at your water heater, and explain what’s wrong. Then we give you a clear, upfront quote. If you approve it, we get started right away, and once the repair’s done, we walk you through what we fixed and how to help prevent the issue from coming back.

Want to Avoid Water Heater Repairs? Let Us Handle Your Water Heater Maintenance

Just like your car, your tank water heater needs regular maintenance to run right, last longer, and stay efficient. We recommend flushing the tank and having other water heater maintenance done at least once a year to clear out sediment and keep your system heating properly. It’s one of the simplest ways to improve efficiency and keep a reliable water heater in your home or business.

During your appointment, our experienced technicians inspect the unit for leaks, corrosion, and worn parts so you’re not surprised by problems down the line. We provide proper maintenance for all makes and models, no matter who installed them. If you want extra peace of mind, we can set up a custom service schedule based on your water use and system type. It’s an easy way to keep your system running smoothly and avoid the costly repairs you might be dealing with now.

When to Replace Your Water Heater With a New Unit

A lot of water heater issues can be repaired, but not all of them. If your unit is over 10 years old, leaking at the base, or breaking down repeatedly, it might be time for a water heater replacement. In some cases, it’s simply more cost-effective to upgrade than continue with repairs.

If you need a new water heater, we carry a full range of quality products from American Standard. We can schedule your new water heater installation as soon as the same day or the next, depending on your situation. Interested in upgrading to a tankless water heater? We can handle that too! You’ll get the best water heater for your home and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heater Repairs

Call to Action

What does a failing heating element sound like?

Most people describe it as a popping, sizzling, or crackling sound coming from inside the tank. That happens when sediment builds up around the element and it struggles to heat through the debris. You may also notice the water going hot, then cold, then hot again. When you hear this, it’s a sign the element needs attention. Our water heater pros can test it, replace it if needed, and make sure the reservoir is heating evenly again.

How much does water heater repair cost in Sacramento?

Repair costs depend on what’s wrong, but most Sacramento homeowners pay somewhere in the low hundreds for common fixes like sensors, valves, or heating elements. Bigger issues—like leaks or major part failures—can cost more. We always give you the price before any work starts, so there are no surprises. A good repair keeps your heater running strong now and in the long run, saving you from bigger problems later.

What should I do if my water heater isn’t working?

Check the simple things first. For electric units, see if the circuit breaker tripped. If it did, flip it back on. Look for a reset button on the thermostat—sometimes that’s all it takes. For gas units, check whether the pilot light is out. If none of that gets your hot water back, call us. We’ll help you figure out what’s going on and get someone out fast so your daily routine can get back to normal.

What should I look for when choosing a water heater repair company?

Look for a professional water heater company with licensed technicians, good reviews, and flat-rate pricing. The team should be experienced with both gas and electric systems and able to explain the process without confusion. At America’s Plumbing Company, people choose us because we deliver dependable work, fair pricing (no dispatch fees!), and lasting results on every repair.

How can I keep my water heater in good shape?

Regular maintenance is key. Flushing the tank once a year reduces sediment buildup, which helps energy efficient systems perform better and last longer. It’s also important to check the anode rod periodically and keep connections tight and leak-free. If you’re unsure what your system needs, we can set up a maintenance plan that keeps your water heater working reliably year-round.
