Signs your water heater needs attention

Catch these early and you'll often avoid a cold-shower morning — or a flooded basement.

No hot water

Cold showers usually point to a failed element, thermostat or pilot.

Runs out too fast

Not enough hot water can mean sediment buildup or an undersized tank.

Rusty or cloudy water

Discolored hot water often means the tank is corroding inside.

Rumbling or popping

Noises usually mean sediment hardening at the bottom of the tank.

Leaking or pooling water

Any water around the base means it's time to act — fast.

10+ years old

Most tanks last 8–12 years — past that, failure is a matter of when.

Honest guidance

Repair or replace? We'll tell you straight.

Because our plumbers work on no-commission pricing, we recommend what makes sense for your home — not the bigger ticket.

Repair usually makes sense if…

  • The unit is under about 8 years old

  • It's an isolated part — element, thermostat or valve

  • The tank itself isn't leaking

  • It's been reliable until now

Time to replace if…

  • The tank is 10+ years old

  • The tank itself is leaking or rusting

  • Repairs are starting to stack up

  • You want lower bills or endless hot water — ask about tankless

Water heater FAQs

How much does water heater repair or replacement cost?

Repairs are usually modest — a heating element, thermostat or valve. A replacement depends on tank vs. tankless, size and fuel type. Either way, you get an upfront written quote and approve the price before we start, and financing is available on new units.

How long do water heaters last?

A standard tank water heater typically lasts 8–12 years; tankless units often last 20 years or more. Once a tank is past a decade, replacement usually makes more sense than repeated repairs — especially if it's showing rust or noise.

Should I repair or replace mine?

If the unit is under about 8 years old and the issue is an isolated part, repair is often the right call. But if the tank itself is leaking, the water is rusty, or it's 10+ years old, replacement is the smarter investment. A leaking tank always means replace — and we'll tell you honestly which situation you're in.

Should I get a tank or a tankless water heater?

Tankless units deliver endless hot water, use less energy and last longer, but cost more upfront. Traditional tanks are less expensive to install. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your home and budget — see our tankless water heaters page for more.

My water heater is leaking — is it an emergency?

Yes. A leaking tank can flood a basement and won't repair itself. Shut off the water supply to the unit and call us right away — we answer 24/7 and offer same-day replacement to get your hot water back and stop the damage.
