Signs You Need Professional Repairs

Here are some common reasons Lansing homeowners should call for professional water heater repair.

  • No hot water: If you don’t get hot water, no matter how long you run the sink or shower, don’t hesitate to call.
  • Fluctuation: You should arrange an inspection if your water suddenly goes cold or hot or changes temperatures during use.
  • Noise: Rumbling, popping, hissing, and other noises during water heater operation warrant professional investigation.
  • Leaks: Leaking clearly indicates that you need water heater repair anywhere from simple to severe.
  • Discoloration: Any change in the color of your water is serious and can endanger your health. Call professionals to repair the discolored, rusty, or foul-smelling water source.

Putting off water heater repair is never a good idea, as it can quickly lead to further plumbing damage. We’ll ensure you get the proper diagnosis and that all repairs are completed successfully.

Water Heater Repair and Replacement FAQs

With proper maintenance, a conventional tank water heater typically provides eight to 12 years of service. Tankless water heaters may last 15 to 20 years or longer when professionally maintained.
Attempting to repair a water heater yourself is not recommended. Water heaters involve electricity, gas, pressurized water, and high temperatures, so improper repairs can cause injuries, water damage, gas leaks, or additional equipment problems.
Repair may be appropriate for a newer system with a minor, isolated problem. If your water heater is nearing the end of its expected lifespan, needs frequent repairs, leaks from the tank, or struggles to meet your hot water needs, replacement may be the more cost-effective option. A professional plumber can inspect the unit and recommend the best solution.
Common warning signs include inconsistent water temperatures, insufficient hot water, unusual popping or rumbling sounds, rusty or discolored water, higher utility bills, and moisture around the unit. Scheduling service early may help prevent further damage or a complete system failure.
Popping, cracking, or rumbling sounds often indicate sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. As the burner or heating elements warm the water, trapped air bubbles can push through the sediment. Professional flushing and maintenance may restore efficiency and reduce noise.
Most water heaters should receive professional maintenance once a year. Routine service may include flushing sediment from the tank, inspecting safety components, checking for leaks, and evaluating the burner or heating elements.
A leaking water heater should be inspected promptly because even a small leak can lead to water damage, mold growth, or equipment failure. If water is pooling around the unit or leaking rapidly, shut off the water and energy supply when it is safe to do so and contact a professional plumber.
