What To Do When Your Water Heater Stops Working or Starts Leaking
A water heater problem can feel urgent and confusing, especially if you are not sure what is safe to touch. Taking a few simple steps can help protect your home and keep your family safe until our team arrives. If you are ever unsure about a step, you can call us and we will walk you through it over the phone.
Immediate Steps To Protect Your Home
If you see water around the base of the tank, try to find the cold water shutoff valve above the heater and turn it clockwise to reduce or stop the flow. For electric water heaters, it is usually safest to switch off the breaker labeled for the heater at your electrical panel. For gas models, you can turn the thermostat control to the off position on the unit if you can reach it safely without standing in water.
Once any immediate risk is under control, avoid trying to take the system apart or relight a pilot if you are not familiar with the process. Water heaters involve pressurized water, high temperatures, and in many cases gas or high voltage connections. Our licensed technicians can arrive with the proper tools and safety checks so the issue is handled correctly. When you call AirNow Home Services, we can help you decide whether your situation calls for an urgent visit or a scheduled appointment later that day.
Common Water Heater Repairs and Solutions
Understanding common water heater issues can help you identify problems early:
- No hot water: Often caused by failed heating elements, thermostat issues, or gas/electric supply problems.
- Inconsistent temperatures: Thermostat malfunction or mixing valve problems.
- Discolored water: Corrosion inside the tank or pipes, which can lead to leaks.
- Loud noises: Sediment buildup causing popping or banging sounds.
- Leaks at base or connections: Could indicate worn components or tank failure.
Our licensed technicians handle all these issues and more, for all major brands and models of tank water heaters.
How We Decide Between Repair or Replacement
Choosing whether to repair or replace a water heater depends on:
- Unit age: Older units may have multiple weak points.
- Extent of damage: Corrosion or leaks may indicate replacement is safer.
- Repair history: Frequent repairs could justify a new system.
Our technicians provide clear explanations and pricing for both repair and replacement, helping you make a confident, budget-friendly decision.
Signs Your Water Heater Needs Attention
If you have no hot water at all, the cause could be a failed heating element, thermostat problem, burned out igniter, or an issue with power or gas supply. When you notice water that is too hot or changes temperature suddenly, that often points to a thermostat or mixing issue. Rusty or discolored hot water can mean corrosion inside the tank or in the pipes feeding it, which needs prompt attention to avoid leaks.
Loud popping or banging sounds usually come from sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank, especially in areas with mineral heavy water. A small puddle under the heater might be a loose connection or a relief valve issue, while a larger pool could indicate a tank that is starting to fail. We work on gas and electric traditional tank water heaters and are equipped to service all major brands and models, so our team can match the repair to the specific unit you have in your home.
