Common Water Heater Repair Scenarios

No Hot Water

Complete loss of hot water from a tank or tankless unit. Could be a failed heating element, thermostat, or gas valve issue.

Leaking Water Heater

Water pooling around the base of your tank is urgent — it can mean a failing tank that could rupture and flood your home.

Strange Noises or Smells

Popping, banging, or rumbling from your water heater signals sediment buildup. A sulfur smell may indicate a failing anode rod or gas leak.

Water Heater Replacement

Units over 10-12 years old that need frequent repairs are usually better replaced. Modern units are more efficient and reliable.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?
