PROFESSIONAL WATER HEATER REPAIR
Trust a professional when it comes to how water heater repairs, to avoid making a minor issue worse then which can lead to costly repairs and damage to your home. By choosing a plumbing professional, you get the peace of mind you deserve that your repairs are done right the first time. A system that produces too little hot water can be frustrating, inconvenient, and a downright hassle. Our technicians will adjust your tank to the optimal temperature to ensure that you get the most out of your hot water heater system. It's essential to ensure your hot water heater's temperature isn't too high and avoid a dangerous scalding hazard. In the event that your system is not producing any hot water, we can inspect the pilot light, thermocouples, and heating elements to get your hot water heater back up and running. If you are experiencing hot water with an unusual or unpleasant odor, it can be caused by bacterial growth in your hot water tank. Typically this smell is compared to rotten eggs and requires the tank to be flushed and rinsed with an anti-bacterial cleaning agent. If an unpleasant odor comes from both hot and cold water, this issue may be caused by your main water line and not a direct result of your hot water heater. One of the most common problems we encounter with a malfunctioning hot water heater is a noisy water tank. This can indicate several key issues. The most likely problem associated with a loud hot water tank is that your tank has built-up sediment in the bottom, and the heating element is burning the sediment. This requires a full tank drain and cleanse. Another cause of this can be the heating element itself burning out. If this is the case, we can replace the heating element, saving you the expense of installing an entirely new system. If you notice that your tank is leaking, you need to take immediate action as this can cause extensive flooding damage in attics, basements, or garages. If you notice a leak, contact a plumbing professional as you need to have your hot water heater replaced. Richards Rooter And Plumbing services can inspect your hot water heater should any of these symptoms arise.
ELECTRIC AND GAS WATER HEATER REPAIR
Whether you have an electric or gas hot water heater can require different solutions, and Richards Rooter And Plumbing services have been repairing, servicing, and installing both types of hot water heaters for more than thirty years. Hot water heaters generally have a lifespan of just over ten years, but with annual inspections and preventative maintenance, some systems, especially tankless hot water heaters, can last up to twenty years if they are well-maintained and serviced regularly. The most common reason for hot water heaters to fail is corrosion. This is caused by the formation of rust in the tank due to the constant fluctuation of pressure inside as hot water expands and causes fissures in the glass lining of the interior of the tank. If your hot water smells of rust or is discolored, it may be evidence of corrosion, and you need to have a plumbing professional inspect your hot water heater immediately. Unfortunately, if corrosion and rust formation has begun in your hot water heater, it's the beginning of the end, and you will need to explore the best new system to install. This corrosion can eventually lead to a leak, and it's best to get ahead of this before extensive water damage is caused to your property. Another side effect of corrosion in a tank is the development of sediment, which can cause heating elements to burn out and even clog the drain, which can lead to increased pressure which in the worst-case scenario can cause the tank to burst. We will inspect your tank's anode rod to monitor your hot water heater for signs that rust is developing. Like any appliance, hot water heaters provide many of the modern comforts we take for granted on a daily basis. But with regular maintenance and professional inspections, you can get the most out of your hot water heater for many years beyond its manufacturer's warranty. Because of the unique blend of high temperatures and fluctuating pressure levels, inspecting, repairing, and installing a hot water heater is a job that's best for plumbing professionals.
