When to Call for Water Heater Repair
Although it would be nice if your water heater always operated flawlessly and lasted forever, that’s never going to happen. Most traditional water heaters reach the end of their useful life after 8 to 12 years. The performance and longevity of your water heater are dependent on several factors, including the manufacturer, installation, maintenance, usage, and the quality of your water.
At some point, your water heater will stop working as efficiently and effectively as it used to. When that time comes, you will either need to get your system repaired or replaced.
There are several warning signs that a water heater has issues that need to be addressed by a professional, including:
-
Rust-colored water -
If any other color than clear comes out of your faucet, that is a problem. If you notice brown-ish red colored water coming out of your tap, this could be due to a rust having been corroding from the inside of the water heater. This is due to an excessive amount of sedimentation building up within your water heater tank. Give us a call today to come and inspect your water heater. -
Excessive noise -
You water heater will always make a little noise when it first turns on. But, if you are hearing loud banging, pops or cracking noises, this is a good reason to be concerned. When you water heater has too much of an accumulation of mineral deposits on the heating elements, this can cause the loud banging or it could be that a broken dip tube is what is causing the loud pops. -
Leaking system -
Besides odd noises, if you notice water pooling around the bottom of your tank, chances are you have a leak somewhere in your water heater and should address this immediately. If you leave the water heater with a leak, it can also cause water damage to the surrounding areas. -
Varying water temperatures -
One very obvious sign that you need water heater repair is when your water temperature fluctuates between hot and cold all the time. One minute you are enjoying a nice warm shower in the morning, the next you are dealing with the arctic waters of Alaska. If you notice this problem, give our team a call.
Recognizing these warning signs that your water heater is beginning to fail is essential to your comfort and safety. The earlier you catch and correct these issues, the less likely you will find yourself without hot water when you need it most. It will also ensure that your energy bills are not higher than they have to be. Our Redwood City water heater repair experts can help you evaluate your system to determine if it should be repaired or if the time has come to invest in a replacement. In addition to our water heater services, we also provide expert drain cleaning and drain repair services.
Have You Considered Tankless Water Heater Installation?
At Handy Plumbing Man, LLC, we install all makes and models of water heaters. One of the most popular options among homeowners in Redwood City is tankless units. This option, as its name implies, does not require a large supply tank. Instead, water is heated up on-demand.
There are several benefits of tankless water heaters, including:
- Increased energy efficiency
- Extended lifespan
- Endless hot water
- Lower utility bills
- Less maintenance
- Reduced space requirements
A tankless water heater may set you back more initially because it has a higher price tag. However, because these systems last up to twice as long as traditional water heaters and reduce energy usage as much as 35%, they turn out to be more cost-effective in the long run. Some homeowners might still benefit from a conventional water heater. We can help you evaluate your home and needs to make an informed decision about the best system for you.

“Marco is excellent. Honest and helpful. This is his own business and he cares about his customers. I had need for someone to clear out a major clog in my main at 11 pm he spent an hour into the next day cleaning the clog and helping me above and beyond. Really outstanding!”R.O.

“Great work Marco! Thanks for coming out and doing a thorough job! Highly recommended Marco anytime.”Satisfied Customer

“Marco didn't actually come out to fix my plumbing, so I can't review him on that. However, I called because I thought my sump pump was broken. I called several other plumbers and it sounded like an expensive repair. I told Marco exactly what the problem seemed to be (sump pump not pumping out the water) and he suggested I try taking the lid off and using a broom stick to see if I could dislodge TP from the float that regulates the sump pump.Justin S.
I tried it and it worked! Everyone else quoted me $1100-1200 for the repair but no one suggested trying this one simple thing. I appreciate the honesty and helpfulness Marco provided and if I need a plumber in the future will use him. Thanks Marco!” -
“Very responsive and reliable. Highly recommend Marco”Joosang S.

“He is incredibly thorough. Not only did he fix the issue at hand, he went above and beyond to figure out where the problem could be coming from beyond the immediate problem.”Tiffani Y.
He went above the call of duty
"Marco was extraordinary!- Tiffani Y.
We had an urgent situation where our drain was backed up and overflowing into our bathroom and then into our bedroom. I called Marco and he immediately guided me over the phone (recalling what my house set up since he had been out the week before for an unrelated problem) to help me get the water under control.
I needed him to come out right away and he rearranged his schedule so that he can squeeze us in. He let us know if he wasnt able to move things around he could call a friend of his also in the plumbing business which was great he had a solution for us if he wasnt able to move his other appts around.
Another reason I really appreciate his work is that he is incredibly thorough. Not only did he fix the issue at hand, he went above and beyond to figure out where the problem could be coming from beyond the immediate problem. Turns out I had a blockage of roots growing into my sewer line to the street. He called the county for me the next day to find out whose responsibility this is to fix. The county then pointed him to the city so he called them for me and told them the problem he saw using his camera and asked them to take care of it (and they did!) He absolutely didn't need to do this next step as his work for me was already done but this is how I found him to be extraordinary because he went above the call of duty.
I really appreciated all his help in this situation and I would definitely use him again"
