Water Heater Repair in Nelson, GA

Look for a pipe entering the top of your water heater. There should be a valve on it. If it's a lever-style valve, turn it so it is perpendicular to the pipe. If it's a round knob, turn it clockwise until it stops.

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.

A puddle could mean a leaking drain valve, a leaking pressure relief valve, condensation, or a rusted-through tank. Dry the area and see where the drip is originating. If it's coming from the bottom of the tank itself, you need a replacement.

A gas burner should have a crisp blue flame. A yellow or orange flame indicates that the burner is not getting enough oxygen for complete combustion, which can produce dangerous carbon monoxide. It needs immediate cleaning and adjustment.

Rusty hot water is a strong warning sign that the inside of your tank is beginning to corrode. If the anode rod is completely gone, the steel tank itself rusts. Call us immediately before the tank rusts through and floods.
