Hot Water Tanks

How Do I Know If I Need My Hot Water Tank Repaired Or Replaced?

Consider that the average hot water tank lasts 10-15 years and this may guide your decision on whether you need to fix or replace a broken hot water tank. If you’re not sure, rely on our plumbing experts to give you an honest opinion on what we think will be most cost-effective for you in the long run.

• Inconsistent water temperature: Water gets too hot, too cold, or fluctuates unpredictably. Caused by a faulty thermostat, heating element issues, or sediment buildup. This can lead to discomfort and higher energy costs.
• Strange noises: Popping, rumbling, or banging sounds coming from the tank. Often caused by sediment buildup heating up and exploding or pressure issues. Ignoring this can shorten the tank’s lifespan.
• Leaks around the tank: Water pooling or dripping from the base or connections. May be due to loose fittings, a failing pressure relief valve, or internal tank corrosion. Left unchecked, it can lead to serious water damage.
• Discolored or rusty water: Water comes out brown, red, or cloudy. Usually caused by rust inside the tank or corroded pipes. This can indicate the tank is breaking down and may fail soon.
• Low water pressure: Weak flow from hot water taps. Sediment buildup, a partially closed valve, or aging plumbing could be restricting flow. Over time, this can strain your system and reduce efficiency.

If you’re dealing with any of these problems, we’re happy to take a look and recommend the next steps. 

A well-maintained tank keeps your home comfortable and your energy bills in check.

Emergency Hot Water Tank Repair

Hot water tank problems don’t wait for a convenient time. 

That’s why we offer 24/7 emergency repair services to get your system back up and running fast.

• No hot water at all: If your tank isn’t producing any hot water, it likely has a failed heating element, broken thermostat, or serious internal damage.
• Major leaks or flooding: Significant water pooling around your tank suggests a ruptured tank or a failing pressure relief valve, both of which can cause extensive property damage.
• Strong gas smell (for gas tanks): A noticeable gas odor around your tank could indicate a leak in the gas line or faulty connections, posing a serious safety risk.
• Burning or electrical smells: If you detect a burning or electrical scent near your tank, it may be due to overheating components, wiring issues, or a failing heating element, all of which can be fire hazards.

 If you’re dealing with an emergency, don’t wait—call us anytime, day or night. 

While waiting for service, shut off the water supply to prevent further damage, and if you suspect a gas leak, turn off the gas and leave the area immediately.
