Common Water Heater Services Problems We Solve
Experiencing one of these issues? Our expert technicians can diagnose and fix the problem quickly.
No Hot Water
Complete loss of hot water can be caused by failed heating elements, pilot light issues, or thermostat problems.
Water Heater Leak
Leaks around your water heater may indicate tank corrosion, loose connections, or valve problems.
Inconsistent Temperature
Water that fluctuates between hot and cold suggests thermostat issues or sediment buildup in the tank.
Strange Noises
Popping, rumbling, or banging sounds from your water heater often indicate sediment buildup at the bottom.
