Water Heater Repair in Pittsburg, CA

A good rule of thumb is the 10-year mark. If your tank is less than 10 years old and the issue is a faulty part (like a thermostat or element), repair is usually best. If the tank itself is leaking from the bottom due to rust, a full replacement is required.

First, find the cold water valve above the heater and turn it clockwise to stop the water flow. Second, turn off the power (flip the breaker for electric, or turn the gas valve to 'off' for gas). Finally, call Water Heater Repair Tech at (877) 415-0636 for emergency service in Pittsburg, CA.

Hissing usually happens when condensation from the tank drips down onto the hot burner beneath it. It can also happen if there is a tiny leak spraying onto a hot surface. Have a professional inspect it to be safe.

You can lower your energy bill by turning the thermostat down to 120 degrees, insulating the hot water pipes extending from the unit, and having the tank flushed annually to ensure optimal heat transfer.

That rumbling or popping sound is caused by a thick layer of mineral sediment at the bottom of your tank. Water gets trapped under the sediment and boils, creating steam bubbles. A professional flush by Water Heater Repair Tech can clear this out and quiet the tank down.
