Water Heater Repair in Olivet, KS

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.

Low hot water pressure is usually caused by scale buildup inside the water heater's pipes, or a faulty shut-off valve. If cold water pressure is fine, the issue is isolated to the hot water system and our technicians can clear the blockage.

For an electric unit, a broken lower heating element means only the top half of the water is being heated. For a gas unit, the dip tube that directs cold water to the bottom of the tank might be broken, mixing cold water with the hot.

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.

This occurs when you turn off the hot water briefly and turn it back on. You get the hot water already in the pipe, followed by a brief burst of unheated water, then hot water again. Modern units or recirculation pumps can fix this.
