FAQs
What are the most common signs my tank water heater needs repair?
Look for water that never gets hot enough, fluctuating temperatures, rumbling or popping noises, rusty-colored water, visible leaks around the tank, or a tripped breaker/pilot that will not stay lit. Any of these issues can indicate sediment buildup, failing heating elements, a damaged dip tube, or corrosion—all problems our Farragut technicians can diagnose and fix promptly.
How fast can Precision Repairs Plumbing get to my Farragut home in an emergency?
We offer same-day and 24/7 emergency service throughout Farragut and West Knoxville. Most calls made before noon are handled the same afternoon; after-hours or weekend calls are typically reached within 2 hours. Our fully stocked service vans carry the most common parts so many repairs are completed on the first visit.
Do you repair both gas and electric storage-tank water heaters?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers are trained and certified to work on standard and high-efficiency gas, propane, and electric tank units from all major brands (Rheem, A.O. Smith, Bradford White, State, Whirlpool, etc.). We can replace thermostats, heating elements, gas control valves, thermocouples, anode rods, and perform full tank flushes or safety upgrades as needed.
Is repairing my existing tank water heater more cost-effective than replacing it?
If the unit is under 10 years old and the tank itself is not leaking, a targeted repair usually costs a fraction of replacement—often $200–$600 versus $1,200–$2,500 for a new installation. Our technician will provide a clear cost-benefit analysis on site. When a tank leak, extensive corrosion, or repeated breakdowns are present, replacement is usually the smarter long-term investment.
What maintenance can I do to extend my water heater’s life between professional visits?
Drain a few gallons from the tank every 6 months to flush sediment, check that the temperature is set to 120 °F, test the T&P relief valve for smooth operation, and inspect around the base for moisture. If you have hard water, consider installing a whole-house filter or scheduling an annual professional flush to prevent scale buildup.
Do your Farragut water heater repairs come with a warranty?
Absolutely. All parts we install carry the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 1–6 years—and Precision Repairs Plumbing adds a 1-year labor guarantee on top. If the same component fails within the warranty period, we will repair or replace it at no additional labor charge, giving you peace of mind after the job is done.
