We Repair and Replace Hot Water Heaters
Unfortunately, water heaters do have a certain lifespan. This lifespan can range from 10-13 years. After that, it is likely time to replace the unit. If the water heater is getting close to that age and you are seeing rust in the tank or your water, hearing noises, or have water around the tank, it could also be time to replace it. Keep in mind that if you’ve maxed out your thermostat and the water still doesn’t seem hot enough, it could be either a broken thermostat or a dead water heater.
In other instances, a water heater might not be working because it needs some common repairs or simple maintenance. Draining and flushing the tank to get rid of sediment that causes noise and bacteria that cause odors is one of these common maintenance issues. If you are experiencing no hot water at all, it could be the heating element or even an unlit pilot light. All of these are easy fixes for an experienced plumber!
Because we strive for superior service, our customers’ reviews mean a lot to us. Take a few minutes to read them and see why!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do we run out of hot water so quickly?
There are several reasons why you might run out of hot water more quickly than expected:
- Inadequate Water Heater Size: Often, the water heater installed may not be sufficiently sized for the demands of your household. This mismatch can result in a frequent shortage of hot water.
- Sediment Buildup: In areas with hard water, sediment can accumulate at the bottom of your water heater, insulating the burner and reducing the unit's efficiency. Over time, this buildup can also decrease the effective capacity of the tank.
- Thermostat Settings: Check if the thermostat has been accidentally adjusted to a lower setting. It's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines to avoid setting the temperature too high, which can pose a scalding hazard.
- Seasonal Changes: During colder months, the incoming water temperature is lower, which means your water heater has to work harder and longer to heat the water. Adjusting the heater settings during winter might help.
- Water Heater Age and Condition: The efficiency of a water heater decreases with age, wear, and tear. Regular maintenance is crucial to keep it running effectively, but older units may still struggle to maintain performance.
Q: What causes our water heater to make loud rumbling noises?
Rumbling noises in your water heater are often caused by sediment buildup in the tank. This sediment acts as an insulator between the heating element and the water, leading to localized boiling and bubbling, which generates rumbling sounds. Besides being noisy, this can cause significant wear and strain on your heater, potentially damaging the tank over time due to the intense heat trapped in the sediment layer. Regular maintenance to flush out sediment can help mitigate these noises and extend the life of your water heater.
