FAQs
How do I know if my tank water heater needs repair?
Warning signs include water that will not heat or runs out quickly, rumbling or popping noises from the tank, visible rust-colored water, moisture or pooling near the base, and a burning smell around the unit. If you notice any of these in your Reliance home, call us right away for a professional diagnosis before the problem worsens.
Can you repair all brands and sizes of water heater tanks?
Yes. Our licensed Reliance plumbers are factory-trained to service every major manufacturer, including Rheem, A.O. Smith, Bradford White, GE, Whirlpool, and more. We carry common replacement parts on our service vehicles for both 30- to 120-gallon residential and light-commercial models, ensuring most repairs can be completed in a single visit.
How quickly can your Reliance plumbing team arrive for an emergency water heater repair?
We provide true 24/7 emergency service. A technician is dispatched as soon as your call comes in, and we typically arrive anywhere in Reliance within 60 minutes—often sooner. Because our service trucks are fully stocked, you will not lose additional time waiting for parts.
What are the most common issues you fix on tank-style water heaters?
The majority of service calls involve failed heating elements or thermostats, worn anode rods, leaking temperature-pressure relief valves, faulty gas control valves, sediment buildup causing overheating sounds, and corroded inlet or outlet fittings. We also repair venting and expansion tank problems to ensure the entire system operates safely and efficiently.
Will I have to replace my tank water heater, or can it usually be repaired?
Around 70% of the units we inspect can be repaired cost-effectively. Replacement becomes the better option when the tank itself is leaking, corrosion is advanced, or the unit is 10–12 years old and facing multiple component failures. We will clearly explain the condition of your heater, provide repair versus replacement costs, and let you decide based on budget and long-term value.
How much does fast tank water heater repair typically cost in Reliance?
Minor fixes such as thermostat replacement start around $150–$225, while element swaps, anode rods, or valve changes range from $200–$400. More complex gas valve or control board repairs can be $450–$650. You will receive a firm, up-front quote after our diagnostic inspection, along with any available warranties on parts and labor.
