Stepping in the shower to discover you’re not getting any hot water is not a pleasant experience. While this can be an obvious sign that something’s wrong with your water heater, there are other, less obvious things to look out for. It’s easy to forget about your water heater, but simple inspections and preventative maintenance can keep it in good working condition for a long time. The following are common signs that you require water heater repair or replacement:

• Water Temperature – Having no hot water at all is a sure sign that you have a problem. You might also experience your water being too hot or too cold. These problems can be the result of a buildup of sediment or a thermostat issue.
• Rusting – If you have brown or rusty colored water, there’s a significant chance of corrosion with your water heater. Corrosion always leads to leaks, but repair or replacement will solve the problem.
• Leaking – If your water heater is leaking water from the top, you likely have a loose pipe or a failed T&P valve.
• Foul Smelling Water – If the water coming out of your tank smells unpleasant, you probably have a high level of bacteria present. 

Sometimes, a new water heater is the best solution, but in many cases, repair is possible. Our team will begin with a comprehensive inspection to determine the most effective option for your home. We offer both water heater repair and water heater replacement in Allen Park, MI.

Repairing your water heater is typically the more cost-effective choice, and we’ll prioritize that whenever possible. On average, a gas water heater lasts around 10 years, while tankless models can last up to 20 years. If your unit is under 10 years old, repair is usually the best option. However, we follow the "50% rule": if the cost of repair is more than half the price of a full replacement, it often makes more sense to replace the unit instead.

It's best not to try and repair your water heater on your own.
