Common water heater problems

What's going on with your water heater?

These are the water heater issues we fix most often in Dallas–Fort Worth. Tell us which one matches yours, plus the brand and whether it's gas or electric.

01

No hot water

On a gas unit this is often a pilot, thermocouple or gas valve problem. On an electric unit it's usually a failed heating element, thermostat or a tripped high-limit switch.

02

Hot water runs out fast

Sediment build-up, a broken dip tube or one failed heating element can cut your hot water supply in half.

03

Leaking water heater

Leaks can come from the drain valve, the temperature and pressure relief valve or the pipe connections. Water coming from the tank itself usually means it needs replacing.

04

Pilot light won't stay lit

A dirty or failing thermocouple, a clogged pilot tube or a faulty gas control valve can keep a gas water heater from staying on.

05

Popping or rumbling noises

Sediment at the bottom of the tank overheats and pops as the burner runs. Flushing the tank can restore efficiency and extend its life.

06

Rusty or smelly hot water

Brown water or a rotten-egg smell often points to a worn anode rod or corrosion inside the tank.

Before you call

Quick checks you can do in 5 minutes.

Some water heater problems have a simple fix. Try these first, and call us if you still don't have hot water.

  • Electric unit: check the breaker. Reset it once. If it trips again, leave it off and call us.
  • Gas unit: check the pilot. Look through the sight glass. If it's out, follow the relighting steps on the tank label.
  • Check the thermostat. Around 120°F is recommended for most homes.
  • Look for water around the base. Note where it's coming from: a valve, a pipe or the tank.
  • Check the gas supply. Make sure the gas valve to the unit is open and other gas appliances work.

Smell gas? Leave the house right away and call your gas company or 911 from outside.

Water heater repair FAQ

Common questions.

Why is my water heater not producing hot water?

On a gas water heater, the most common causes are a pilot light that went out, a bad thermocouple or a faulty gas valve. On an electric unit, it's usually a burned-out heating element, a bad thermostat or a tripped breaker. A technician can test each part and tell you which one failed.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

Tank water heaters usually last 8 to 12 years. If yours is younger and the problem is a valve, element, thermostat or thermocouple, repair is usually the better value. A leak from the tank itself means it's time to replace it.

How much does water heater repair cost?

Our service call is $85, and it's waived when we do the repair. After the diagnosis you get an estimate before any work begins.

Do you offer same-day water heater repair?

Yes. We offer same-day or next-day service across Dallas–Fort Worth, depending on your location and the schedule.

Do you install new water heaters?

Yes. Along with repair and maintenance, we install new water heaters. Call us to talk about the right size and type for your home or business.

Is your water heater repair guaranteed?

Yes. We use genuine OEM parts, and every repair is backed by a 1- or 2-year warranty.
