This is usually caused by sediment buildup in the bottom of the tank. As the water heats, trapped air beneath the sediment causes popping or banging sounds. This buildup reduces efficiency and can lead to early system failure if not flushed out.
If your unit is under 10 years old and the tank is intact, most issues—like heating element failure or thermostat problems—can be repaired. If your unit is leaking, over 12 years old, or has recurring issues, a replacement is often more cost-effective in the long run.
Rust-colored water from your hot taps may be a sign of corrosion inside the tank. It could be due to a failing anode rod, which protects the tank from rust. Replacing the rod early can extend the life of the heater and improve water quality.
A sulfur or "rotten egg" smell is often caused by bacteria reacting with the anode rod inside the tank. Flushing the tank and replacing the rod with an aluminum/zinc alloy version usually resolves the issue.
We recommend annual flushing, especially in Huntley where hard water is common. This removes sediment buildup, improves efficiency, and extends the unit's lifespan.
Yes! We service both gas and electric tank-style water heaters, including diagnostic work, heating element or pilot assembly repair, thermostat replacement, and safety valve testing.
Ignoring service can lead to sediment buildup, overheating, inefficient heating, or even tank rupture. Routine maintenance prevents these problems and ensures your system operates safely and efficiently.
Your tank may be partially filled with sediment, reducing the usable hot water volume. It could also indicate a failing heating element (in electric models) or burner issue (in gas models). Either way, we'll pinpoint the problem and fix it fast.
Most repairs can be completed in 1 to 3 hours, depending on the issue. Our fully stocked trucks carry common parts and tools to minimize delays and avoid return visits.
During your annual service, we flush the tank, check the anode rod, test the T&P valve, inspect the thermostat and burner or elements, and verify connections. It's a complete system check to protect your investment and comfort.
