Signs You Need Water Heater Repair
Recognizing early warning signs can prevent larger issues down the line.
Common indicators your water heater may need attention include:
- No hot water despite checking the gas pilot, thermocouple, or electric supply
- Rusty brown water or a sulfur-like smell, which may indicate sediment buildup or corroded pipes
- Rumbling, popping, or hissing noises caused by sediment settling at the bottom of the tank
- Water pooling around the base of the heater from a leaking valve or tank
- Frequent temperature fluctuations or error codes displayed on the system
Should I Repair or Replace My Water Heater?
We help you determine the most practical solution based on cost, age, and system performance.
- When to repair: Only ideal for newer units or isolated component failures, such as a malfunctioning thermostat, heating element, or valve.
- When to replace: Often recommended for older units (typically 10 years for tank heaters, 20 years for tankless systems), tanks that are leaking, or systems requiring repeated repairs. Replacement also allows an upgrade to higher efficiency or capacity if needed.
