Water Heater Problems We Fix
If you’re out of hot water—or something just doesn’t seem right—we’ll diagnose the issue and get your water heater working again.
No Hot Water
If you’re getting nothing but cold water from the tap, the problem could be a bad thermostat, pilot light, or heating element. We’ll find the issue and fix it fast.
Inconsistent Water Temperature
Hot water that runs cold suddenly or shifts temperature without warning can mean mineral buildup or failing components inside the tank. We’ll inspect it and restore consistent performance.
Water Heater Leaks
Water puddling around your tank is a red flag. Some leaks can be repaired—others mean it’s time for a replacement. We’ll give you honest advice and act quickly to prevent water damage.
Strange Noises
Rumbling, banging, or popping sounds usually mean sediment has built up inside the tank. We’ll flush the system and check for long-term damage.
Discolored or Smelly Water
Rusty or foul-smelling hot water could mean corrosion or bacterial buildup in your tank. We’ll pinpoint the cause and let you know your options.
Pilot Light or Ignition Issues
If your gas water heater won’t light or keeps going out, we’ll troubleshoot the ignition system and make sure everything is working safely.

Water Heater Repair Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
How long should a water heater last?
Most traditional tank water heaters last 8–12 years. If yours is older and having issues, we’ll inspect it and let you know if it’s worth repairing or if a replacement makes more sense.
Can I relight the pilot light myself?
You can try—but if it won’t stay lit or you smell gas, it’s safer to let a licensed technician handle it. We’ll check for leaks, test the ignitor, and relight it safely.
Is it dangerous if my water heater is leaking?
A small leak can grow fast and damage nearby flooring or walls. If the leak is from the tank itself, the whole unit may need to be replaced. We’ll inspect and advise on the next steps.
Why is my water heater making noise?
Sediment buildup is the most common cause of popping or rumbling noises. Flushing the tank often solves it, but ongoing noise might mean deeper issues.
Can I get same-day water heater repair?
Yes. We make every effort to handle no-hot-water calls the same day—especially during winter months when cold water becomes a bigger issue.
Do you repair tankless water heaters too?
Yes. We service both traditional and tankless systems. Whether it’s a temperature issue, a code error, or low flow, we can help.
Do you offer water heater replacement if mine can’t be fixed?
We do. If your unit is beyond repair, we’ll walk you through your options and install a new system that fits your home and budget.
