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.

    Satisfied Customer
    They saved the day!
    “This evening, I came home to a terrible sewage clog that backed up into my tubs and toilets.  I called Handy Plumbing Man and spoke to Marco.  He said he would be there in 1-2 hours and he arrived within that time.  He was honest, kind and explained everything to me.  He fixed our problem and now I will use him as my yearly preventative plumbing service. His prices are very fair for what he does.  He and his co-worker, Oscar are my favorite people right now!!  They saved the day!”

    There's a reason why they have so many 5 star reviews
    “Quick response, friendly and fair service! Oscar was great, and he even cleaned up the floor around the toilet with sani-wipes before he left!!  There's a reason why they have so many 5 star reviews.”
    Mark S.
    I appreciate the honesty and helpfulness
    “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.  

    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!”
