Rockwall County Water Heater Repair

Fixing Gas & Electric Water Heater Repair in Rockwall County

We tend to take for granted that hot water will come out when we turn on a faucet or the washing machine. However, when the water comes out cold, murky, or in a slow trickle, you can depend on the experienced plumbers at Sunrise Plumbing for water heater repair in Rockwall, Heath, Frisco, Forney, Rowlett, Wylie, Sachse, or Murphy. We specialize in water heater services and our licensed plumbers have repaired more water heaters than other companies in the area.

Signs You Need Water Heater Repair

1. Loud noises - Not all noises are the same. If you're hearing snapping or popping sounds then your unit has experienced sediment build up and needs to be cleaned out. But if you hear rumbling and grinding then you could have a more serious problem.

2. Rusty colored water - If all of your water has this discoloration to it, it's your pipes. But if only your hot water has this look to it then call in our Rockwall County water heater repair professionals. Your anode rod is likely corroding and we should replace the rod before the rust spreads to your tank.

3. Low water pressure - Another symptom of sediment build up is when your water pressure is slower than usual. This is because hard water is heavier than clean water and it needs more force to come out at the same speed.

4. Some cold water in your hot shower - We might not think much about a little bit of cold water in our hot shower, but it means you should call our Rockwall County water heater repair specialists. There's a leak in your dip tube that brings cold water into your unit and it could get bigger with time.

5. Pooling water under your unit - If there's a leak in your tank you could have bigger problems, but if the leak is coming from one of your water lines we can replace the line with relative ease.

Troubleshooting Tips for Water Heater Problems

When your water heater isn’t working properly, the best thing to do is to let a professional plumber handle the job. However, there are a few things you can do before you give us a call. The steps you will take to troubleshoot your water heater problem vary, depending on whether you have a gas or electric water heater.

For electric water heaters, you can:

• Check to make sure the water heater breaker isn’t tripped
• Hit the reset button, which is located on the panel on the tank
• If these don’t work, call for professional repair service

Gas water heaters are a bit more difficult to troubleshoot and repair. If the water heater isn’t working at all, the first thing to check is the pilot light. If it is not lit, turn off the gas and get in touch with us as soon as possible. We have same-day service available for emergency water heater repair, providing a two-hour window for your appointment. We arrive on time and get right to work to solve your problem and get the hot water running again.
