Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair

It’s important to identify the signs that your water heater may be malfunctioning, here are some clear indicators of trouble:

  • Water Temperature Issues: If your water is too hot, too cold, or fluctuates between the two, this could be a sign of a faulty thermostat or heating element.
  • Discolored or Foul-Smelling Water: Rusty or brown water indicates possible tank corrosion or the presence of bacteria. A metallic taste or foul odor points to a corroded anode rod.
  • Noise: Unusual noises, such as rumbling, popping, or hissing, suggest sediment buildup or a malfunctioning heating element.
  • Leaks: Water pooling around the base of your heater is a definite sign of a problem and should be addressed immediately to prevent water damage.

Common Water Heater Repairs

Water heater repairs include a range of tasks that keep the unit running efficiently and safely. One key maintenance activity is flushing the tank to remove sediment that can accumulate over time, affecting both efficiency and longevity. Another common repair involves replacing faulty heating elements, which are needed for maintaining the desired water temperature. Similarly, issues with inconsistent water temperature often traced back to a malfunctioning thermostat that needs fixing or replacement. The anode rod also plays a critical role in preventing tank corrosion by attracting corrosive elements; when it's worn out, replacing it is required to prolong the life of your water heater.

When to Consider Water Heater Replacement

Sometimes, water heater repair might not be enough. Here are signs that it might be time for a water heater replacement:

  • Age: Most water heaters last 10-15 years. If yours is nearing this age and having issues, replacement could be more economical than repairs.
  • Frequent Repairs: If you find yourself regularly calling for water heater repair, it might be more cost-effective to replace the unit.
  • Rusty Water: If the inside of your tank is rusting, it might soon develop leaks. A new tank can prevent potential water damage.
  • Inefficient Heating: If your energy bills are increasing without any change in usage, your water heater might be losing its efficiency. A newer model might be more energy-efficient.

Why Hire a Pro for Your Hot Water Heater Tank Installation?

Having a professional handle your water heater installation in Alhambra is important for both safety and long-term performance. Water heaters are complex systems that involve intricate electrical wiring, gas lines, and water supply connections. A qualified technician knows how to properly integrate all these elements, ensuring that the unit operates efficiently and safely. Incorrect installation not only poses safety risks, such as electrical shocks or gas leaks, but it can also reduce the heater's lifespan and lead to frequent maintenance issues down the line. Investing in expert installation is a wise decision for your household's safety and your system's longevity.

Our service technician, Chris,  showed up on time was professional and friendly.  I had a leak coming out of the bottom of the wall in the garage.  Chris was able to diagnose the leak quickly and take care of the problem.  He explained every step of the process.  Would highly recommend Speed Plumbing, Inc.

Unfortunately, High Speed plumbing was my 2nd call. The first guy to arrive said the whole toilet... seat and tank needed to be replaced, and it would cost $$$$. I believed it was the flapper valve, so I sent them on their way. Ron,  and his helper Jaime, arrived from High Speed... took a look, told me it's your flapper valve... and it'll cost $$. 10 minutes later they were done and gone. Solid, respectful, and professional!!!

Found a slab leak steaming from my garage near my water heater on a Thursday evening. Chris was on the job by 9:30 am on Friday. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional and took the time to include me in all that was doing. Cesar showed up midway through the job to lend Chris a hand and both gentlemen did FANTASTIC work! I will most definitely be calling them again for any future work I may need! Update: We had a second leak in a different area of the house on Sunday. Made a call and Ron came out to solve that problem efficiently and professionally. Can’t say enough the great work that team does over at High Speed Plumbing. So glad I made that initial call!

Called Juan at night about a gas leak the Gas Co, found that caused the Gas Co to red tag the meter and shut it off. Juan sent Christopher the next morning. He is a great guy with a great attitude and super professional skill. His ethics are high. High Speed I was told is a term used in military(veteran owned and staffed company) that denotes someone who is quick, resourceful and accurate at getting issues dealt with. By that standard Chris is definitely a "high speed" Thank you and may God Bless you and your Company  :-)

Same day service inspection and estimate was provided.  Service was offered same day, but we scheduled it to fit our convenience and they were very accommodating.   New tankless water heater installed and old water tank removed.  Roof venting work performed as well.  No complaints.  Happy to use them in the future.

John, Service Manager was very knowledgeable, professional and a very pleasant gentleman.  He assessed our plumbing issues and recommended that a restoration company come out and access the water damage due to ongoing toilet/piping issue from our upstairs restroom.  It's been running into our kitchen cabinet downstairs.  Luckily, our home insurance guy called while the John was still here.  John was able to give the Adjuster the information needed to have Service Master's come out tonight to assessment the water damage. I'm so grateful that John took the time to explain and show me the issues we were having. . John, you were truly heaven sent.  Your honesty and direction was much appreciated. Thank you.
