Accurately Diagnosing Your Water Heater Issue

Your water heater is one of the most important appliances in your home. You may not think about it all that often, but your hot water supply is a critical part of your daily life. From bathing to cooking to household chores, access to a dependable and stable supply of hot water is something that few people can go without. Issues that aren’t fixed quickly can grow, compounding into a major issue that could have been avoided. This is why it’s important to quickly and accurately diagnose any problems and fix them right away. When so much depends on your water heater, it's important to depend on an experienced pro for repairs that will restore its function quickly and reliably.

At Plunger Pros, we have extensive experience working with a wide range of different water heaters, including units from all major manufacturers. No matter what heater you depend on, our team can provide accurate, professional, and straightforward assessments that help restore your hot water supply as soon as possible. We give you our genuine, unbiased opinion to help you make the best decision for your property, and we stand by our workmanship with warranties for added protection.

Our diagnostic process starts with a careful visual inspection to look for any obvious signs of a problem. This usually gives us an initial indication of what the issue is. However, for hidden issues, we will then turn to testing individual components. This usually allows us to isolate the issue, tracing it back to its root cause so we can deliver a thorough solution.

How We Resolve Common Water Heater Problems 

Water heater challenges cover a wide range of issues, and you can count on our skilled plumbers for reliable and efficient support. Here’s how we deal with some of the problems that arise most frequently:

Leaks and Water Damage

Water heater leaks can waste water and cause costly damage to your home. Mineral-heavy hard water, prevalent in the New Braunfels area, often accelerates the corrosion of tank interiors, leading to leaks. Our skilled plumbers know how to identify the source of the leak and provide effective repairs or recommend a replacement if necessary. 

Pilot Light and Electric Failure

Gas water heaters may struggle to keep their pilot light on, while electric models can experience thermostat or wiring failures. We’re equipped to handle both types of systems. Using advanced diagnostics, we work diligently to identify and fix electrical or gas-related issues safely and effectively, getting your water heater back in working order without needless delays.

Lack of Hot Water

What’s more frustrating than running out of hot water when you need it most? If your water heater is struggling to maintain the proper temperature, it could be due to a failing heating element or sediment buildup in the tank. Our team flushes tanks and replaces damaged parts to restore consistent performance and keep your water heater running efficiently.

Strange Noises

Is your water heater rumbling or making unusual noises? These sounds are often caused by sediment buildup hardening at the bottom of the tank. Our plumbers not only remove the sediment but also inspect the entire system for potential issues, with the goal of preventing future damage. 

Water Heater Repairs vs. Replacements

Services Tailored to Your Needs and Budget

Knowing when to upgrade your water heater can be tricky, especially when a replacement is a big investment. However, if your current unit is consistently exhibiting any of the above signs, even after it's been repaired, or if it is coming to the end of its lifespan, which is generally 10-15 years, it may actually be more cost effective to upgrade to a new, more energy-efficient model. This is  also true if you notice a persistent decrease in function, even after repairs have been maid; your current unit did not receive regular proactive maintenance; or your current unit no longer meets the demands of your household. 

When your unit is beyond repair, our team can guide you through the steps of finding the ideal replacement, whether it's a traditional tanked model or an energy-efficient tankless system. Our goal is to provide honest advice that will fit your needs and your budget - we won't upsell you on things you do not need. If your current water heater has plenty of life left in it, our prompt repairs and ongoing maintenance can help keep it running efficiently.  

Our proactive, membership-based approach helps save you money, prevent future issues, and protect your peace of mind.
