San Pedro Water Heater Repair

While many people are somewhat knowledgeable about general air heating units, the water heater often tends to be more mysterious. Most of us may associate water heaters as the giant gurgling tank in the depths of our parents’ basement, an enigma that sent us racing up the steps as quickly as possible. So, what do you do when this critical unit breaks, creating chaos as everyone discovers that there’s no more hot water? There has to be a better solution than shivering in an icy shower, and that’s where Big League Plumbing and Rooter jumps in to save the day.

The Importance of Professional Water Heater Installation

You may be considering the possibility of trying to install a water heater yourself, hoping to save a few dollars in the process. However, properly setting up a water heater is much more complex than it looks.

If you truly want to ensure optimal performance and efficiency of your water heater, it is always best to contact one of our professional technicians. This way, you can make sure that your installation is done correctly from the beginning, without worrying about having to pay costly expenses for accidental mistakes or additional repairs. Having a Big League Plumbing and Rooter technician install your heater the right way the first time will create a maximum lifespan of your water system.

5 Signs You Need Water Heater Repair

1. Snapping or popping sounds - If there's been enough sediment build-up in your tank then these minerals could be interacting with one another and causing these snapping or popping sounds. It's a sign that your unit could use a cleaning to get rid of the sediment build up.

2. Cold flashes in your hot shower - What this means is that the tube that's responsible for bringing in cold water into your unit is leaking incoming cold water with outgoing hot water.

3. Rusty colored water - If you have this discoloration in your hot water then call in our San Pedro water heater repair experts. It could be that the rust is localized around the anode rod and you just need us to replace the rod.

4. Your water is only lukewarm - This could be a sign for water heater replacement but your heating element is likely fixable by our water heater repair experts.

5. Slow water pressure - Another indicator that you should call in our San Pedro water heater repair experts is slow water pressure. This is another symptom of sediment build up and your unit just needs a thorough rinse.

How to Know When You Need Water Heater Replacement

Because the water heater is such a mystery to so many, it may be difficult to figure out exactly when, where, and why it’s failing.

Some signs that your water heater is breaking down could include:

• Abnormal rumbling, groaning, or hissing sounds - Not all sounds from your unit are alike. If you hear these loud rumbling or groaning sounds contact our San Pedro water heater replacement specialists.

• Unusual rust-colored or dirty water - If all of your water is rusty, then it's your pipes. But if only your hot water is rusty, then you either have a rusty anode rod or the corrosion has spread to the rest of your unit. Replacing the anode rod is easy, but if the corrosion has spread to the tank, then you'll need a new one.

• Metallic smells or taste of water - If your hot water tastes or looks a little bit off, it's possible that the inner coating in your tank has begun peeling and needs to be replaced.

• Collected leakage around the water heater unit - Like sounds, not all leaks are the same. If a water line is leaking, it's pretty replaceable but the tank is another story.

• Prolonged length in the time it takes to heat water - If something is off with your heating element, it could either need repair or outright replacement.

• You keep running out of hot water - If you run out of hot water time and time again, then consult our San Pedro water heater replacement experts. Your tank clearly isn't big enough and you should consider upgrading to a bigger tank or a tankless water heater that doesn't run out of hot water.

These are just a few signals that your water heating system is coming to the end of its functionality and an indication that you will soon be bathing in a freezing cascade of water.
