What Is Causing Your Water Heater Problem?

There are several common causes of water heater problems every homeowner should know. Taking immediate action by calling us can help you avoid serious issues down the road.

Some of the most common water heater problems we encounter include:

• Faulty gas pilot valve: If you have a gas water heater that is not functioning properly, you may have an issue with the gas pilot control valve. The valve may need to be replaced and our experienced plumbers can assist you with safe replacements.
• Faulty thermostat: With an electric water heater, you may encounter a faulty thermostat that will need to be replaced.
• Overheating due to a leak: In some cases, your water heater may be leaking and create an overheating problem in the process. There could be a hole in the tank due to rust. If this is the case, you will need to replace your water heater.
• Sediment buildup: Your water heater may also have sediment built up, requiring removal. We provide a tank flushing service on an annual basis to ensure the efficiency of your entire unit.

What's the Average Lifespan of Water Heaters?

You can plan for a gas water heater to last anywhere between 8-10 years or an electric water heater to last anywhere between 10-15 years as long as it's regularly maintained, which includes inspection, flushing, and draining.

Other factors that affect the lifespan of water heaters include the manufacturer, usage and demand, frequency of maintenance, and the extent of mineral buildup due to hardwater in your water system.

Our Brenham plumbers can help you schedule regular water heater maintenance. Having your unit maintained on an annual basis will allow you to keep it working efficiently and you will know when it’s time for a replacement before any problems arise.

Should You Repair or Replacement Your Water Heater?

Is your water heater exhibiting frequent problems? Is it also near the end of its lifespan? A new unit may be the most cost-effective option. You will also need to replace the unit if you are facing a significant problem, such as a rupture in the tank.

A repair is ideal if your unit is still new. In this case, the problem is often able to be fixed without hassle. Our technicians can inspect your unit and determine which course of action is best for you. Contact our Brenham water heater repair technicians for an inspection.

If you need to replace your water heater, contact a licensed company to do the job. Our team at Plumb Level will make sure your unit is installed according to all local code and safety regulations. We proudly serve Brenham and the surrounding areas.
