Water heater repair in Milton

Cold showers, rusty water, rumbling tanks and puddles on the utility room floor all point back to the same appliance. We work out whether it needs a part or a replacement.

Gas tanks

On a standard gas tank we check the pilot, thermocouple or flame sensor, the gas control and the venting. A pilot that will not stay lit often means a worn thermocouple.

A tank that heats slowly may be full of sediment.
Power-vented tanks add a fan and pressure switch that can fail.
Gas work is done by properly licensed technicians; where a gas fitter is required, we make sure one is.

Signs this is the job you need

No hot water or very short showers
Rumbling or popping from the tank
Rusty or smelly hot water
Water pooling under the tank
Pilot light keeps going out

How the work goes

We check the gas or power supply and controls.
We test the burner, elements and thermostats.
We check the relief valve and look for leaks.
We replace failed parts where it makes sense.
We advise replacement if the tank is leaking.

Electric tanks and leaks

An electric tank heats with an upper and a lower element, each on its own thermostat; lose one and showers go tepid halfway through. We test and replace the bad part.

A leak from the temperature and pressure relief valve may be the valve or high pressure.
A leak from the bottom of the tank itself means the lining has failed and it is time to replace it.

Asked on the phone line

Can a leaking tank be repaired?

If the tank body leaks, no. Fittings and valves can be fixed.

How long do tanks last?

Often eight to twelve years, depending on water quality and maintenance.

How a call to us runs

You ring (365) 364-2776 and a person picks up, not a menu.
We ask where the water is, what you have already shut off and what decade the building went up in.
We say when the van should pull up and what to do until it does.
On site we show you the fault, give a firm price before starting and clean up after.
