Failed heating elements are the most common cause of no hot water in electric tank water heaters. Elements can burn out due to age, sediment buildup, or electrical issues. Our technicians test elements with specialized equipment and replace them with quality components that restore reliable hot water production.
When only one heating element fails, you may get some hot water but not enough for normal household needs. Upper element failure typically results in no hot water, while lower element failure reduces hot water capacity. We diagnose which element has failed and replace it promptly.
Hard water causes mineral deposits to build up on heating elements, reducing their efficiency and eventually causing failure. Scaled elements work harder and use more energy while providing less heat. We remove scaled elements and install new ones while recommending water treatment to prevent future scaling.
Faulty thermostats can cause water to be too hot, too cold, or inconsistent in temperature. These control devices regulate when heating elements operate and maintain proper water temperatures. We test thermostats for proper operation and replace them when necessary to restore reliable temperature control.
When water heaters overheat, the high temperature limit switch trips to prevent dangerous conditions. This safety device must be reset after addressing the underlying cause of overheating. We diagnose why the switch tripped and make necessary repairs before resetting the system.
Over time, thermostats can lose calibration and fail to maintain proper temperatures. This results in water that's too hot or cold despite proper settings. We test thermostat accuracy and replace units that can't maintain proper calibration for consistent water temperatures.
Tank leaks can develop from corrosion, pressure issues, or manufacturing defects. Small leaks may be repairable depending on location, but tank leaks often indicate the need for replacement. We assess leak severity and provide honest recommendations about repair versus replacement options.
Temperature and pressure relief valves are critical safety devices that prevent dangerous pressure buildup. When these valves leak or fail to operate properly, they must be replaced immediately. We test relief valves and replace them with quality components that ensure safe operation.
Sediment accumulation in tank bottoms reduces efficiency, causes noise, and can lead to premature component failure. We flush tanks to remove sediment and recommend regular maintenance to prevent future buildup. Severe sediment problems may require tank replacement.
Our comprehensive repair expertise covers all makes and models of tank water heaters, from basic electric units to advanced gas models with electronic controls. Every repair begins with thorough diagnostics that identify the root cause, not just the symptoms, ensuring lasting solutions that prevent recurring problems.
When your water heater stops working, time is critical. Our experienced technicians arrive equipped with the most common repair parts and diagnostic tools needed to restore your hot water quickly. We understand the urgency of water heater failures and prioritize emergency calls accordingly.

Effective tank water heater repair begins with thorough diagnostic procedures that identify the root cause of problems rather than just treating symptoms. Our systematic approach ensures accurate diagnosis and effective repairs.
For electric water heaters, we check voltage supply, test heating elements, and verify thermostat operation. We use digital multimeters and specialized testing equipment to measure electrical values accurately.
Gas system diagnosis includes checking pilot lights, testing gas valves, measuring gas pressure, and verifying proper combustion. We use gas leak detectors and combustion analyzers to ensure safe operation.
Tank inspection includes checking for leaks, corrosion, and structural integrity. We inspect pressure relief valves, drain valves, and all connections for proper operation and condition.
Electric water heater heating elements are common failure points that require professional replacement when they burn out or become covered with scale deposits.
Element testing includes measuring electrical resistance and checking for continuity to determine if elements are functioning properly. Failed elements show infinite resistance or short circuits that prevent heating.
Element removal requires draining the tank and disconnecting electrical power. We use specialized element wrenches and follow safety procedures to prevent electrical hazards during replacement.
New element installation includes selecting proper wattage and voltage ratings for your specific water heater model. Incorrect elements can cause poor performance or premature failure.
System testing after element replacement includes refilling the tank, checking for leaks, and verifying proper heating operation before restoring power to the unit.
Gas water heaters require specialized attention to safety and proper combustion for reliable, safe operation. Our technicians have extensive training in gas system repair and safety procedures.
Pilot light problems can result from thermocouple failure, gas supply issues, or draft problems. We diagnose pilot light issues and make necessary repairs to restore reliable ignition.
Gas valve repair or replacement addresses problems with gas flow control, pressure regulation, and safety shutdown functions. Gas valves are critical safety components that must function correctly.
Thermocouple replacement ensures proper flame sensing and safety shutdown when pilot lights fail. Failed thermocouples can prevent ignition or cause unsafe operating conditions.
Venting system repairs address blockages, damage, or improper installation that can cause dangerous backdrafting or carbon monoxide problems. Proper venting is essential for safe operation.
Water heater safety systems are critical for preventing dangerous conditions and protecting your home and family from hazards.
Pressure relief valve testing ensures proper operation and prevents dangerous pressure buildup that could cause tank rupture. These valves must be tested and replaced periodically.
Temperature relief valve testing verifies protection against overheating that could cause scalding or dangerous pressure conditions. Proper operation is essential for safety.
Gas leak detection uses electronic leak detectors to identify dangerous gas leaks that pose fire and explosion hazards. Any gas leaks require immediate attention.
Carbon monoxide testing for gas units ensures proper venting and safe combustion. Carbon monoxide exposure is extremely dangerous and must be prevented.
