Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair

Ignoring early warning signs of a failing water heater can lead to expensive repairs and even water damage. Look for these common issues:

  • Leaking Tank – Water leaks can cause mold growth, flooring damage, and costly repairs.
  • Rusty or Discolored Water – This may indicate corrosion inside the tank or bacterial buildup.
  • No Hot Water or Inconsistent Temperatures – A failing thermostat, heating element, or sediment buildupcould be the cause.
  • Strange Noises – Rumbling, popping, or clanking sounds suggest excessive sediment accumulation.

If you notice these issues, call The Waterworks for fast, expert repairs before they lead to system failure.  

Should You Repair or Replace Your Water Heater?

When to Repair Your Water Heater:

  • The issue is minor (e.g., faulty thermostat, heating element, or pressure valve).
  • The unit is less than 10 years old and otherwise in good condition.
  • The problem is occasional and not persistent.

When to Replace Your Water Heater:

  • Your unit is 10–15 years old and experiencing frequent issues.
  • You notice rust, corrosion, or leaks in the tank.
  • It no longer meets your household’s hot water needs.
  • You want a more energy-efficient model to reduce utility costs.

Not sure if you need a repair or replacement? Our experts will assess your unit and recommend the best solution.   

Extend the Life of Your Water Heater with Routine Maintenance

Proper maintenance can extend the lifespan of your water heater and keep it running efficiently.

  • Drain & Flush the Tank – Removes sediment buildup that reduces efficiency.
  • Check Structural Integrity – Inspects the tank for leaks or cracks.
  • Examine Water Hoses – Identifies weak or corroded pipes to prevent flooding.
  • Test the Thermostat & Heating Elements – Ensures consistent hot water production.

We recommend annual water heater tune-ups to keep your system in peak condition.   

Why Hire a Professional for Water Heater Repairs?

Water heaters operate at high temperatures (120°F+), and DIY repairs can be dangerous. Hiring a licensed plumber ensures:

  • Safe Diagnosis & Repairs – Avoids risks of gas leaks, electrical hazards, or scalding.
  • Code-Compliant Installations – We follow all safety and efficiency regulations.
  • Energy-Efficient Solutions – We help you reduce utility costs with modern upgrades.

Collin came out and was extremely professional and arrived on time. He did excellent work and explained everything clearly while also keeping a great, friendly conversation throughout the visit. Our issue was that no water was coming out of the tub faucet. Not only did he fix that problem, but he also repaired a leaking pipe connected to the tub spout that we didn’t even realize needed attention. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality of work. We were very satisfied with the service and will definitely be using this company again in the future.

Our sump pump was found leaking on a Saturday around 2p. I called immediately and we were able to arrange for an emergency appt. Garrett was a great plumber, courteous/professional and very efficient in his work late that evening. My only complaint would be the lack of ability to know a time or have more frequent communication about the workers arrival time after my initial call. I had to call around 10p and they finally confirmed an appt from 10:45p-12:45a. Service was excellent and price was reasonable. Would have given 5 stars if communication was better about the appt time.

My tech was professional, and the price was reasonable. Before the tech left, it appeared the problem was solved, however it turns out only part of it was. I reached out them immediately, and the tech returned the next day. He fixed all the problems on my initial complaint, found one more issue and addressed that, too. He spent a lot of time in my home, was very polite and competent. I will use Waterworks again.

Have always been pleased with Waterworks. They’ve done several jobs for us. Quick, friendly, good service for good prices that are always quoted ahead of time. Recent repair was under the kitchen sink. Came in, evaluated the problem, got materials from the truck, and had the job done in about an hour. Very satisfied.

My tenants did not have working water over the weekend and no vendors were available. Waterworks were able to come out on the same day and get the repairs and water turned back on within hours. Susan from dispatch is wonderful and techs Jeff Nick and Tommy were very communicative and got the job done. I would 1000% reccomend to anyone for after hours or over the weekend emergencies.
