Common Hot Water Problems We Fix
No Hot Water
Could be a faulty thermostat, element, or gas valve. We diagnose the issue accurately to get your water hot again.
Leaking Tank
Water pooling around the base usually indicates a rusted cylinder. In most cases, the unit will need replacing immediately.
Pilot Light Out
If your gas pilot light keeps going out, it's often a thermocouple issue. We carry replacements for all major brands.
Rusty Water
Brown or rusty water suggests the sacrificial anode has failed and the tank is corroding. Immediate service is required.
Fluctuating Temp
Water running hot and cold? This can be caused by a faulty tempering valve mixing the water incorrectly.
Noisy Tank
Rumbling or banging noises often mean sediment build-up in the tank, which can cause overheating and potential failure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you replace my hot water system today?
Yes, in most cases we can supply and install a new system the same day. We carry temporary hot water systems if a specific unit needs to be ordered.
Is it better to repair or replace?
If your tank is leaking (rusted), it must be replaced. For other issues like thermostats or valves, repair is usually the most cost-effective option.
Do you fix solar hot water?
Yes, we repair solar hot water systems, including booster elements, pumps, and panels.
