The buildup of minerals and sediment is by far the most common reason area homeowners need water heater repair in Arlington. In fact, we recommend having us flush your water heater annually as a preventative repair. Some homeowners may even need the service biannually depending on water hardness.
Another common issue is the sacrificial anode rod. This rod attracts the minerals so that they build up on it rather than the inner wall of the tank.
Many homeowners never replace their anode rod at all, but you should do it every several years or so. Doing so will extend the life of the equipment and lower the month-to-month operating costs of the water heater.
Other water heater components that we often replace include the thermostat, drain, and temperature pressure relief valve. The TPR valve is a safety mechanism that you should replace as needed. You should also clear the drainage pipe if it clogs.
The drain valve is a leading cause of water heater leaks. A bad thermostat can cause many different problems, including inconsistent water temperatures.
If your water heater is too old or expensive to fix, we offer water heater installation as well. Our team can replace your tank water heater with a similar but newer model. We can also convert your home over to a tankless water heater for a virtually limitless supply of hot water.
You should consider replacing your water heater if you notice any of these issues.
