Water Heater Repairs

Some of the most common water heater repairs Save The Day Plumbing gets tasked with include:


  • Too little hot water. If your water tank is constantly running out of hot water, we can correct that for you easily without turning it into a scalding hazard.
  • No hot water. When there's no hot water at all when you turn on the faucet, then there are many possible explanations, but it is probably there is an issue with the thermocouple or pilot light. If you don't have training to repair your hot water heater, you're better off allowing Save The Day Plumbing's professionals to fix the problem for you.
  • Bad smelling water. If your hot water smells off when it comes from the tap, it could be infected with bacteria. In the case a rotten egg-like odor is overpowering every single time you turn on the hot water, then we can clean out your tank with a hydrogen peroxide solution. If the smell takes place when you turn on your cold water, the source is most likely not your water tank.
  • Noisy tank. If your water tank makes a clunking and banging sound, it could be that there is too much sediment at the bottom of it and the heating component is literally burning it off. It could also be that the heating element is burning out. Whenever the sound becomes increasingly loud and frequent, contact Save The Day Plumbing.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does a water heater last?

    A storage tank water heater typically lasts 8 to 12 years, while a tankless unit can last 20 years or more with maintenance. Age plus problems is a sign to replace.

  • Why do I have no hot water?

    Common causes are a failed thermocouple or pilot light on a gas unit, or a tripped breaker or bad element on an electric one. We diagnose and repair the fault.

  • Why is my hot water rusty or smelly?

    Rusty water can mean a corroding tank or anode rod, and a rotten egg smell points to bacteria. We can flush and treat the tank, or advise replacement if it is corroded.

  • Why is my water heater making noise?

    Rumbling or banging usually means sediment has built up at the bottom of the tank. Flushing the tank often quiets it and improves efficiency.

  • Should I repair or replace my water heater?

    Repair a newer unit with a single fault. Replace one that is old, corroded, leaking, or failing repeatedly, since a new efficient unit lowers energy costs.

  • Does a water heater need to be strapped in California?

    Yes. California has required water heaters to be seismically strapped since 1991, to prevent the tank from tipping and causing leaks or gas hazards in a quake.

  • What size water heater do I need?

    It depends on household size and hot water demand. We help you choose the right tank capacity or tankless flow rate so you do not run short or overpay.

  • Is water heater installation a DIY job?

    No. It involves gas or electrical connections, venting, and code requirements including seismic strapping. California requires a licensed contractor, and proper installation protects safety and warranty.
