How Gas Water Heater Repairs Work
Our gas water heater repair process begins with a discussion of the issues you’re experiencing. We then do a thorough inspection. Our professional plumbers look for visible damage and leaks, and we test the heater’s operation.
Once we locate the cause of the problem, we will discuss our findings with you. Most repairs take 1 to 3 hours. We may need to drain the tank, replace faulty parts, and secure vital connections.
- Gas odors
- Major leaks
- No hot water
- Pilot light won’t stay on
Signs You Need Repair
In addition to the issues mentioned above that require immediate attention, you should watch for other warning signs of a problem. The first is a lack of hot water. If you have lukewarm water, your heater runs out of hot water quickly, or the temperature changes suddenly, there’s a problem. It could be a sediment issue or a faulty thermostat. Strange banging, popping, hissing, and rumbling sounds are also red flags. Discolored water can indicate corrosion inside the tank, and foul odors are caused by bacteria in the tank.
Watch for water around the base of your gas water heater. This could be due to a serious issue, such as a bad valve, and needs prompt attention. Furthermore, low hot-water pressure is caused by mineral buildup.
Not all warning signs are obvious. A malfunctioning gas water heater works harder than normal to heat water. This results in higher monthly energy bills that you may not notice.
Common Gas Water Heater Issues
Many homeowners experience pilot light issues, such as a clogged orifice or a faulty thermocouple. In addition, you may have a broken igniter or wiring problems. We’ll inspect the pilot assembly and flame sensor and remove any debris that may be causing malfunctions. We may also need to replace faulty components.
Sediment issues are among the most common problems we find. We can flush the tank to remove sediment, adjust the thermostat, and clean the burner assembly to address these common issues.
