FAQs
What are the most common signs my tank water heater needs repair?
Look for a lack of hot water, water that turns cold quickly, rumbling or popping noises, rusty-colored or cloudy water, visible leaks or pooling around the tank, and a musty or metallic odor. Any of these symptoms usually indicate issues such as sediment buildup, a failing heating element, a corroded anode rod, or a leaking tank that should be inspected by a professional as soon as possible.
How quickly can Quick Repairs Plumbing respond to a water heater emergency?
We offer same-day service for calls received before 3 pm, and 24/7 emergency dispatch for serious leaks, gas odors, or complete loss of hot water. In most cases, a licensed technician arrives within two hours of your call, fully stocked with the parts and tools needed to handle the majority of repairs on the first visit.
Should I repair or replace my existing tank water heater?
If the tank is less than 8–10 years old and the problem is limited to replaceable parts (thermostat, heating element, T&P valve, or minor leaks at fittings), repair is usually the most cost-effective option. However, if the tank itself is leaking, corrosion is widespread, efficiency has dropped significantly, or the unit is over 10–12 years old, replacement is recommended to avoid repeated breakdowns and higher energy bills.
How much does a typical tank water heater repair cost?
Minor fixes such as replacing a thermostat, heating element, or pressure relief valve generally range from $150–$300 including parts and labor. More involved repairs—like flushing extensive sediment, replacing a damaged dip tube, or repairing gas-control components—can run $300–$600. We always provide a written, upfront quote after a diagnostic inspection so you know the exact price before any work begins.
What maintenance can I perform to extend the life of my tank water heater?
Drain a few gallons from the tank every six months to flush out sediment, test the temperature-and-pressure (T&P) relief valve annually, set the thermostat to 120 °F to reduce stress on internal components, and have the anode rod inspected and replaced every 3–5 years. Scheduling a professional tune-up once a year helps catch small issues early and keeps your warranty valid.
Are your technicians licensed and experienced with both gas and electric tank water heaters?
Yes. All Quick Repairs Plumbing technicians hold state plumbing licenses, carry up-to-date gas-fitting endorsements, and undergo regular factory training on the latest gas and electric tank models. Our team is qualified to work safely with natural gas, propane, and high-voltage electrical connections, ensuring your repair meets local codes and manufacturer specifications.
