How do I know if my water heater needs repair or replacement?

Most water heaters can be repaired if they’re under 10 years old and the tank itself isn’t leaking. Common repairable issues include faulty heating elements, thermostat problems, and gas valve failures. If your unit is over 12 years old, showing signs of tank corrosion, or requires frequent repairs, replacement might be more cost-effective. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair makes financial sense or if you’d be better off investing in a new system.
Elk Grove’s hard water is a major factor in water heater issues. Mineral deposits build up on heating elements and inside the tank, reducing efficiency and causing premature failure. Sediment accumulation at the bottom of tank units creates hot spots that can damage the tank lining. Gas water heaters can develop venting problems, while electric units often have heating element or thermostat failures. Regular maintenance helps, but most homeowners don’t think about their water heater until something goes wrong.
Most water heater repairs can be completed in 1-3 hours, depending on the problem. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or thermostat usually take about an hour. More complex issues involving gas components or multiple failed parts might take longer. We carry common replacement parts on our trucks, so we can usually complete repairs the same day without waiting for special orders. Emergency repairs might take a bit longer as we work carefully to ensure everything is safe and properly functioning.
Yes, we warranty both our labor and the parts we install. Labor is typically warranted for one year, while parts warranties vary depending on the manufacturer – usually ranging from 1-6 years. We use quality replacement parts, not cheap alternatives that fail quickly. If something goes wrong with our repair work, we’ll come back and make it right at no additional charge. This gives you confidence that the repair will last and protects your investment in the service.
Absolutely. Tankless water heaters have different components than traditional tank units, but we’re equipped to handle both types. Common tankless repairs include descaling to remove mineral buildup, replacing heating elements or gas burners, fixing electronic control boards, and addressing venting issues. Tankless units actually require more regular maintenance due to their sensitivity to hard water conditions. We can service most major tankless brands and help you understand the maintenance schedule that will keep your system running efficiently.
Turn off the power or gas supply to your water heater immediately, then shut off the water supply valve at the top of the unit. If there’s significant water, turn off the main water supply to your home. Clear any items away from the area and call for emergency repair service. Small leaks from fittings or the pressure relief valve can often be repaired, but leaks from the tank itself usually mean replacement is necessary. Don’t ignore small leaks – they typically get worse quickly and can cause water damage to your home.
