Common Water Heater Problems We Fix

Water heaters are made up of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing components, all of which are subject to wear and breakdowns. At Squeak’s, we provide targeted repairs that restore water heater performance and reliability. Our Denver water heater service team is experienced in diagnosing and fixing a wide range of issues.

Faulty thermostats

Thermostats regulate water temperature by sending signals to the heating element or gas burner. If your water isn’t getting hot enough, fluctuates between temperatures, or even gets too hot, your thermostat may be malfunctioning and misreading temperatures. We test thermostats for accuracy and replace them with compatible parts.

Heating element failures

Electric water heaters use internal heating elements to warm water. If an element burns out or becomes coated in scale, it may struggle to heat the water. We inspect and replace damaged or worn-out elements to restore consistent heating.

Sediment buildup

Denver’s mineral-rich water can cause sediment to accumulate in your plumbing system, including your water heater. This layer of sediment creates a barrier between the heating element and the water, reducing heating efficiency and causing banging or popping sounds as the burner tries to heat through the debris. We flush and descale tanks to restore water heater performance.

Leaking tanks & connections

In many cases, small leaks stem from loose or worn-out connections, gaskets, or valves. We inspect each connection carefully and recommend the most cost-effective and lasting solution to prevent wasted water, damage to floors and walls, and safety hazards. In cases where the tank’s structural integrity is compromised, we’ll walk you through your water heater replacement options.

Pilot light and ignition issues

Gas water heaters operate using pilot lights and ignition controls. Squeak’s handles everything from relighting pilot lights to replacing faulty thermocouples or gas control valves. We also inspect gas line connections for safe operation.

Anode rod replacement

The anode rod protects your water heater tank by attracting corrosive elements in the water. When the rod deteriorates, the tank is vulnerable to corrosion. Replacing this part at the right time prevents premature failure from corrosion damage.

Signs My Water Heater Needs Repair

Understanding the signs of water heater trouble helps you avoid costly damage or full system failure. If you notice any of the following symptoms, schedule professional water heater services in Denver with Squeak’s team.

  • No hot water: Sudden cold showers or poor hot water supply often signals thermostat issues, broken heat elements, or burner problems.
  • Water around the tank: Damp flooring or small puddles near your tank could mean a loose fitting, cracked gasket, or active tank leak.
  • Unusual noises: Popping or banging noises usually indicate sediment collecting in the tank and interfering with normal heating.
  • Discolored or smelly water: Rust-colored, cloudy, or foul-smelling hot water often points to corrosion inside the tank or a deteriorated anode rod.
  • High utility bills: If your electricity or gas bill spikes without a clear cause, your water heater may be straining due to underlying problems and inefficiencies.

Our Water Heater Repair Process

From the initial service request to the final inspection, Squeak’s water heater repair experience is straightforward and efficient with clear communication and quality workmanship.

Precise diagnosis

A Squeak’s plumber inspects your water heater and tests key components, including thermostats, sensors, valves, and gas lines. We identify the root of the problem to provide a targeted and permanent solution.

Fast and reliable repairs

Once we’ve identified the underlying cause, we explain the problem and the ideal repairs clearly. We can complete most repairs in the same visit. We carry high-quality replacement parts and follow manufacturer standards to restore your system efficiently and safely.

Types of Water Heaters We Repair

Squeak’s team works on all water heater types and models, including

  • Conventional tank water heaters: These store hot water in a tank and are common in most homes. They store hot water, typically between 30 and 80 gallons, and keep hot and ready for use.
  • Tankless water heaters: Tankless models heat water on demand. They’re compact and energy-efficient, making them ideal for smaller homes or households with fluctuating usage.
  • Gas water heaters: Gas water heaters are efficient and cost-effective, especially in homes with high daily hot water demand.
  • Electric water heaters: Electric models are simple and affordable to install, without the ventilation and connection needs of gas units.

Water Heater Repair FAQs

How much does water heater repair cost in Denver?

Water heater repair costs depend on the issue’s complexity and severity. Simple fixes, such as thermostat or valve replacements are on the lower end, while more complex repairs can be higher. Electric water heater repairs often cost less than gas water heater repairs since gas systems are more complex.

How long does a water heater repair take?

Timelines for gas and electric water heater repair near Denver will vary, but we can complete most within one day. Larger repairs or units requiring special-order parts may take longer. Your technician can provide a more precise estimate when they diagnose your system.

When should I replace my water heater instead of repairing it?

If your water heater is over 10 years old, has tank leaks, or requires frequent service, it may be time to consider replacement. A new unit can offer better efficiency, lower utility costs, and improved reliability.

How can I maintain my water heater to avoid repairs?

Regular maintenance reduces wear and prevents common issues. Proper professional care includes flushing sediment from the tank, testing the pressure relief valve, inspecting and replacing the anode rod, and checking for leaks or corrosion.
