Recognizing Common Water Heater Issues

Understanding the common problems that plague water heaters can save you time, money, and unnecessary stress. Here's what to look out for:

  • No Hot Water: A water heater that's not delivering hot water is a clear sign that something's amiss. Potential culprits could include a malfunctioning thermostat or heating element.
  • Odd Noises: Hearing unusual sounds like rumbling, popping, or whining from your water heater? This often points to a buildup of sediment at the bottom of the tank, which can cause overheating and inefficiency.
  • Leaking Tank: Spotting water around the base of your water heater? Leaks can occur due to faulty valves or even a corroded tank. Ignoring this can lead to significant water damage so it’s best to opt for a repair or water heater replacement in Upland.
  • Discolored or Foul-Smelling Water: If your water comes out looking rusty or has an unpleasant odor, this could mean your anode rod needs replacing, or there might be bacterial growth in the tank.

What Can You Safely Handle?

You may be tempted to fix water heater issues yourself, and there are some minor repairs that can indeed be DIY projects:

  • Resetting the Thermostat: Sometimes, all your water heater needs is a simple reset. Locate the thermostat and press the reset button; this might just solve the problem.
  • Draining the Tank: If you've identified sediment buildup as the issue, draining the tank can be a simple yet effective solution.
  • Replacing a Faulty Valve: A leaking valve can often be replaced without professional help. Just make sure to turn off the water supply before you start working.

Precautions to Take

Before you begin any DIY repairs, it's important to remember the following safety measures:

  • Turn Off the Power: Whether you have a gas or electric water heater, make sure to turn off the power supply. This will prevent any accidents while you work on the unit.
  • Use Protective Gear: Safety goggles, gloves, and appropriate footwear can offer an added layer of protection during repairs.
  • Ventilation: If you're working on a gas water heater, ensure that the area is well-ventilated to prevent the accumulation of harmful fumes.

When to Call the Pros

While DIY fixes are great for minor issues, some problems require the expertise of a trained professional. Here are signs that you should not ignore:

  • Persistent Issues: If the problem reoccurs despite your best DIY efforts, it's time to call in the experts.
  • Major Leaks or Flooding: This is not something you want to handle alone. Immediate professional intervention is necessary to prevent severe water damage.
  • Inconsistent Heating: If your water heater is not maintaining a consistent temperature, this could point to a complex issue that needs a technician's expertise.
  • Older Units: If your water heater is over a decade old and giving you trouble, you might need to consider investing in a new water heater installation in Upland.

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.

I called High Speed Plumbing when a shower handle broke off, they came within a few hours, replaced it and fixed the other handles like new again.  I would highly recommend them to any family member or friend.  Thanks High Speed Plumbing!

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.
