Water Heater Repair: The Common Problems We Fix

A malfunctioning water heater can disrupt your daily routine, but understanding the common issues that arise can help you address the problem quickly. At American Ally Drains & Plumbing, we are equipped to handle a variety of water heater repair needs. Below are some of the most common water heater issues we fix:

•         Water Heater Leaks: Leaks in your water heater can lead to water damage and costly repairs if left unchecked. These leaks can be caused by corrosion, loose connections, or a faulty valve. Our expert plumbers will locate the source of the leak and provide an effective solution to prevent further damage.
•         No Hot Water” If your water heater isn’t producing hot water, it could be due to a malfunctioning thermostat or heating element. We’ll thoroughly inspect your system to diagnose the issue and get your hot water flowing again as quickly as possible.
•         Insufficient Hot Water: Do you run out of hot water too quickly? This could be a sign of a problem with your water heater’s heating elements or sediment buildup. Our team can identify the root cause and repair it to restore your hot water supply.
•         Strange Noises from the Heater: If your water heater is making popping, rumbling, or buzzing noises, it’s often a sign of sediment buildup in the tank. This can reduce the efficiency of your unit and lead to potential damage. We will flush your tank and remove any buildup to keep it running smoothly.

Water Heater Replacement: Common Signs It Is Time To Replace Your Unit

Over time, water heaters can begin to show signs of wear and tear, and replacing them may be a more cost-effective solution in the long run. At American Ally Drains & Plumbing, if we determine that your water heater is beyond repair, we’ll work with you to find a solution that fits your needs and budget. While replacement may involve higher upfront costs, it is often cheaper in the long run as older units lose efficiency, leading to increased utility bills. Below are common signs that it may be time to replace your water heater:

• Older than 10 Years: Water heaters typically last around 10 to 15 years. If your unit is approaching or surpassing this age, it’s likely becoming less efficient and prone to failure. Replacing your water heater with a newer, more efficient model can save you on repairs and energy costs.
• No Longer Heats Water: If your water heater is no longer producing hot water, it may be time for a replacement. This could be due to a failed heating element or internal damage. Our plumbers can help assess the situation and guide you on the best course of action.
• Leaking from the Tank: A leaking water heater is a serious issue that often indicates a broken tank. If left unaddressed, it can lead to significant water damage to your home. If your tank is leaking, it is generally more cost-effective to replace the unit rather than attempt repairs.
• Excessive Utility Costs: As water heaters age, they become less efficient at heating water, which can cause your energy bills to rise. If you’ve noticed a significant increase in your utility costs, it may be due to an aging water heater. Replacing it with an energy-efficient model can reduce your energy consumption and save you money over time.
• Strange Noises: If your water heater is making strange popping or rumbling noises, it could be due to sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. Over time, this can affect the efficiency of your heater. If flushing the tank doesn’t solve the problem, it may be time to replace the unit to restore your hot water.

Annual Water Heater Flush

Once you have a new high efficiency water heater installed, we will help keep it working at its optimal condition with routine maintenance. We recommend an annual water heater flush to keep the tank clear of sediment and extend the life of your system. Sediment is not dangerous, but eats away at the inside of water heater tanks. It is also harsh on the home’s plumbing system.
