Common water heater problems we fix

  • No hot water. Often a failed heating element, thermostat, pilot light, or gas valve.
  • Not enough hot water, or it runs out fast. Could be sediment buildup, a worn element, or an undersized unit.
  • Leaking. Some leaks come from fittings and valves that can be repaired. A leak from the tank itself usually means replacement.
  • Strange noises, usually sediment cooking at the bottom of the tank.
  • Discolored or smelly hot water, often a corroding anode rod or rust inside the tank.
  • A pilot light that will not stay lit, or an electric unit that keeps tripping the breaker.

How we approach a repair

David finds the actual cause before quoting anything, explains what he found and why it happened, and gives you a price before he picks up a tool. No surprise charges at the end and no work done without your go-ahead.

Fix it, fairly

Repairs are done right the first time, with no pressure to replace the whole unit.

Repair or replace? An honest answer

Sometimes the smart move is a repair, and sometimes you would be throwing good money after bad. David tells you which is which based on the age and condition of your unit. If it is newer and the fix is straightforward, a repair gets you back to normal for far less than a replacement. If the tank is corroded or the unit is well past its life, he walks you through replacement options instead.
