Water Heater Repair in Tiger, GA

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.

If the shower suddenly gets cold when someone flushes a toilet, it's often a plumbing pressure issue. But if the hot water simply runs out quickly or surges, your water heater's dip tube or mixing valve may be malfunctioning.

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.

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.

A standard traditional tank water heater generally lasts 8 to 12 years with proper maintenance. Tankless water heaters have a longer lifespan and can often last 15 to 20 years if they are flushed annually.
