Who Repairs Hot Water Systems?

Is your hot water system letting you down? Is it causing problems, and not performing at it should? A hot water heater is usually steady and trustworthy and lasts between 10 -15 years. This may be the reason why you don’t give it much thought, until you have no hot water one day.

Some of the most common problems associated with a hot water system are the following:

• no hot water
• odd noises
• water leak
• no water pressures
• corrosion and rust
• broken drain valves
• Gas issue or leak or electrical problem.

These are emergency cases and a DIY approach is not recommended, to fix any of these issues. Instead, you should call a reliable, certified and experienced plumber to assess the problem. Depending on the plumber’s findings, a repair can be performed, if not a replacement might be recommended. It is important to remember that only a plumber can repair or suggest a replacement for your water heater.

If your hot water system is already eight years old, we believe it is safe to recommend a replacement. Some hot water heater problems are easy to fix and if you have a bit of DIY knowledge, then you may be able to do the trick. However, a leaking hot water system should not be treated lightly. It may cause damage to the hot water tank, besides causing mold breeding fungi. Anything that relates to a gas or electric issue should only be handled by licensed trades people in that field.

Other instances that demand replacement of hot water system are as follows:

1. When dirty water forms a coating at the bottom of the container or cylinder, that is a sign that your hot water heater may have a major leak problem in the structure.
2. When there’s heavy noise, caused by sediment build up.
3. Old age. Most brands of the hot water system last from 10-15 years, may break down in between or just after.
4. Inability to supply a household’s current needs or cannot provide enough hot water.

Normally, the plumber would be in the best position to know whether it would be best to install a new hot water heater or continue with the repairs that can cost you substantially more in the long run.
