Do You Need to Repair or Replace Your Unit?
When your water heater stops functioning, you either repair or replace it. How can you tell whether you need to repair or get a new unit? That depends on a few factors, including the reason why the system is faulty in the first place. There are several reasons why your heater is not working, like:
- Sediment buildup
- Pilot light failure
- Faulty heating fragments
- Faulty electrical hook-up
A traditional water tank typically lasts 10-12 years, depending on unit placement, maintenance frequency, and installation quality. When to replace it depends boldly on the issues you're facing. Some issues can easily be repaired, but if your unit is over ten years old, you may want to review the option to install a new one. Contact us today for a free estimate. Our team can review the issue, give you an upfront price on the repair cost, and review all options available.

Sue Gilliam:
Brent and Lucas were extremely friendly. My appointment was from 8 am to 10 am. They were here shortly after 8 am. They finished replacing my leaking and old hot water heater by 1022am. They cleaned up behind themselves I am a return customer for Mr. Rooter and will think of them whenever I need any other plumbing repairs. GREAT JOB.
Safire Wolfie:
I recently had a problem with my hot water, and Brent and Lucas assisted me. They fixed it on sight and informed me of the problem. They were very helpful. These guys are the best employees ever. They were incredibly nice and informative. Thank you so much for being so kind and helpful.
Tyler York:
Mr. Rooter quickly helped us out of a bind: our tank water heater sprung a rusted-out leak in the bottom, AND the shut-off valve wasn’t working. Water kept pouring onto the concrete floor in the basement. 15 minutes after our call to Mr. Rooter, Brent and Dallas worked on the problem at our house. They were done within an hour and a half to two hours, and I had a new water heater that I likely won’t have to worry about again anytime soon.
I appreciate the quick action and Brent and Dallas going the extra mile by advising on best care and accident prevention—thank you!
