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: Your 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 your 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.

“Super quick response to a failed water heater...had it replaced within hours. Great job!”Robert G.

“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" -

“Marco was absolutely wonderful, explaining how roots had invaded our sewer pipe in the front yard, cleaning it out quickly, showing us the video scope of exactly where the roots were located. He suggested future treatments to keep the root invasion down.”William F.
I cannot imagine better service
"Our toilets and shower drains suddenly stopped draining. We call Handy Plumbing Man at about 11:00 AM and were told they could be there between 1 - 3:00 PM. I received a text from them that they would arrive early and in fact they were there at 12:15 PM, a good 45 minutes before the estimated arrival time. Marco was absolutely wonderful, explaining how roots had invaded our sewer pipe in the front yard, cleaning it out quickly, showing us the video scope of exactly where the roots were located. He suggested future treatments to keep the root invasion down. He was very informative, kind, and efficient. I cannot imagine better service."- William F. -
“Oscar came round to do my seismic shut off valve. Very nice guy, great communication, super efficient and I am very happy, especially as my home insurer will now agree to cover the house for another year, as they made this work a condition of cover. Plus if there is a shaker, it's one less thing to worry about. Putting my old gas mains wrench for manual shut-off on eBay!”Louisa G.
