  • Cracks, rust and corrosion. Ack! Never try to fix a cracked hot water heater with do-it-yourself methods.

Call The Super Plumber - Plumbing and Drain Services squad immediately when you see significant rust or cracks in your water heating system.

Symptoms That Indicate You Need Water Heater Repairs

You rely on your water heater to provide hot water for baths, showers and laundry at your home. If your unit starts to fail it’s important to get it repaired as soon as possible. Call a plumber to inspect the water heater if you notice any of these signs:

  • No hot water.
  • Partial hot water.
  • Rust-coloured water.
  • A low rumbling or popping noise coming from your water tank.
  • High-pitched whining sound coming from the unit.
  • A rotten egg odour in your water or near your gas water heater.
  • Flooding or leaking from your tank.

How Long Will My Water Heater Last?

High-performance water heaters last for many years—but not forever. Tank and tankless water heating systems come in electric and gas models. Cared-for, well-maintained electric, tankless appliances can last up to 20 years. The average span of a gas-powered water heater is eight to 10 years, but this varies with make, model and maintenance level.

When it’s time to replace an old tank system, ask The Super Plumber - Plumbing and Drain Services about tankless water heater services. Tankless units are a highly efficient, long-lasting and compact alternative to traditional water heating systems, and their small footprint frees up precious space in your home.

Perform These Services to Keep Your Water Heater Running

You rely on your water heater for daily conveniences in your home. To prevent this unit from malfunctioning it’s important to call a professional to inspect the system if you experience issues such as a lack of hot water, rust-coloured water, rumbling, or popping sounds coming from the unit, flooding or leaking.

When you call The Super Plumber - Plumbing and Drain Services you can also have professionals perform the following tasks on your unit:

  • Replace failed water tank elements.
  • Perform services on gas hot water tanks.
  • Control water hammering in pipes or tanks.
  • Perform overall hot water tank repairs and maintenance.
