Water Heater Installation, Repair, and Replacement in MA and RI

Water heaters may need to be repaired for a variety of reasons, often due to wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or simply because components have reached the end of their useful life. Here are some common issues that may need repair:

• Leaking Tank: Over time, the tank of a water heater can develop leaks due to corrosion.
• Malfunctioning Heating Element: Malfunctioning heating elements in an electric water heater can lead to reduced effectiveness.
• Faulty Thermostat: If you have water that’s too hot or not hot enough that could indicate a broken thermostat.
• Sediment Buildup: Hard water can lead to sediment build up at the bottom of your water heater, which can insulate the water from the heat source, reduce efficiency, and cause overheating and damage to the tank.
• Corrosion: If not properly maintained your tank can begin to corrode leading to water heater leaks or contaminated water.
• Pressure Relief Valve Issues: Malfunctioning pressure relief valves can lead to over pressurization of your tank which is dangerous.
• Pilot Light or Ignition Problems: If these components fail, the water heater won’t be able to heat water.
• Gas Valve or Supply Issues: Problems with the gas valve or supply can prevent the unit from heating properly.
• Thermocouple Failure: A faulty thermocouple will prevent the heater from staying lit.
• Dip Tube Damage: If your dip tube is broken or damaged you may experience cooler water output.
• Noisy Operation: Banging, rumbling, or popping noises can be due to overheating, sediment buildup or scale on the heating elements.
• Discolored Water: Corrosion inside the tank or pipes can cause discolored water.
