Signs Your Water Heater Needs Attention

  • No hot water, or hot water that runs out quickly
  • Rusty or discolored water coming from hot taps
  • Water pooling around the base of the unit
  • Strange popping or rumbling sounds from the tank
  • The unit is old and hasn't been serviced in years

Repair or Replace?

Not every water heater problem means you need a new unit. Some issues — like a faulty heating element or thermostat — are straightforward repairs. Others, especially in an older tank showing signs of corrosion or a leak at the tank itself, are usually more practical to replace. We'll explain what we find and lay out both options before doing any work.
