Water Heater Problems We Fix in Fort Pierce
Hard water, salt air, and older tanks cause most of the calls we run. Here are the failures we see weekly and how we handle them. If your symptom is on this list, we have fixed it before.
Water heater leaking from bottom of the tank
A puddle under the tank usually means the shell has rusted through, and no patch holds. We shut off the supply, drain the tank, and confirm whether it is the drain valve or the shell. If it is the shell, we quote a replacement and get it installed fast.
Pilot light won't stay lit on a gas heater
Nine times out of ten it is a worn thermocouple or a dirty pilot orifice. We clean the assembly, test the gas valve, and replace the thermocouple. If the gas valve itself has failed, we swap it and leak-test every joint before relighting.
Not getting hot enough or runs out fast
That points to a failed lower element, a broken dip tube, or heavy sediment. We test the element, check the dip tube, and flush the tank. Any of those three fixes restores full hot water capacity without a new heater.
Popping and rumbling from the tank
Sediment on the bottom of the tank traps water under it and boils, which is the popping you hear. We drain and flush the tank, and if the buildup is heavy we pull the lower element to clear it. The noise stops within a day.
