And we know what’s on your mind when something goes wrong: how much does a water heater repair cost, and how long will I be without hot water? We’ll give you straight answers up front and keep the repair process as quick as possible. Here are some of the most common water heater repairs in Arden-Arcade:
Few things get your attention faster than turning on the tap and getting nothing but cold water. For electric water heaters, this usually points to a burned-out heating element. On gas models, the culprit is often a blown-out pilot light or a gas control problem. Thermostats can also fail and stop the system from firing up altogether. Our plumbers test each part to find the issue and fix it.
A puddle around the water heater is never something to ignore. Sometimes the source is simple—a loose connection or a worn valve that can be replaced quickly. Other times, the tank itself has started to corrode or crack, and once that happens, repair isn’t safe or reliable. The danger isn’t just losing hot water—it’s the water damage that can spread into floors, walls, or insulation. The sooner it’s looked at, the more you can prevent.
Lukewarm water or a tank that runs cold too quickly usually means the heater is struggling. Sediment collecting at the bottom of the tank can insulate the water from the heat source. A thermostat might be mis-set or failing. On gas systems, a dirty burner can keep the flame from heating efficiently. We check each of these possibilities, flush when needed, and adjust or replace parts so your water heats to the right temperature and stays there.
When rusty or brown water comes out of the hot side, it’s a warning sign. Inside the tank, an anode rod is designed to corrode before the tank walls do. If that rod is worn out, corrosion can spread to the tank itself. Replacing the anode rod and flushing the system often clears things up, but if rust has taken hold in the tank walls, the only lasting fix may be replacement. It’s one of those problems where catching it early makes all the difference.
A water heater shouldn’t sound like it’s boiling rocks. Those pops and rumbles come from hardened layers of sediment that trap steam bubbles at the bottom of the tank. Not only is it noisy, it makes the system less efficient and can cause stress fractures in the tank over time. A professional flush and a check of the burner or elements can usually quiet things down and get the heater running smoother and safer.
If your water heater is under a decade old and hasn’t had the same problem again and again, a repair is usually recommended. But if it’s older, leaking from the tank, or showing signs of complete failure, we may need to discuss a full water heater replacement. We can also walk you through tankless water heater options if you’re ready to upgrade—our team installs and services both.
