Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heater Repair in River Forest, IL

Frequently asked water heater questions in River Forest. Certified technicians answering your repair, pilot light, and tank questions.

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.

Yes. Sediment creates a thick layer of insulation between the burner and the water. The burner has to run longer and hotter to heat the water, which overheats and weakens the steel tank bottom, eventually causing it to fracture.

If your water heater trips the breaker, it often means one of the heating elements has cracked and shorted out against the water. It could also indicate a bad thermostat. This requires a professional electrical diagnosis.

If your home is on a closed plumbing system (such as having a pressure reducing valve), thermal expansion can cause dangerous pressure spikes when water heats up. An expansion tank absorbs this pressure and protects your water heater.

A pilot light that repeatedly goes out is usually due to a bad thermocouple. The thermocouple is a safety device that senses the flame; if it fails, it shuts off the gas. Call (877) 415-0636 and we can replace it quickly.

"Our hot water smelled awful, like rotten eggs. The plumber from Water Heater Repair Tech explained it was a reaction with our anode rod. He flushed the tank and put in a special aluminum-zinc rod. The water smells perfect now."
