What Are Some Ways to Tell If Your Water Heater Needs Repairs?
The easiest way to tell if your water heater needs repairs include leaking tank, rusty or odd smelling water, no hot water or fluctuating temperatures, and strange noises.
Leaking tank:Â This is probably the most obvious sign that there is a problem with a water heater and in need of professional repair or replacement. There may be multiple sources of the leak, but all have the potential to cause serious damage to your home if left untreated. Water damage can ruin subfloors and lead to mold, so it is best to repair a leaky water heater as soon as possible.
Rusty or odd-smelling water:Â The quality of your water is incredibly important, and when your water is no longer as clean or clear as it once was, your health could be at risk. If your water begins to take on a rusty color, there is a possibility that a component of your heater is in need of repair or that sediment has built up in the bottom of the tank and needs to be cleaned. If the water begins to smell strange, there is a possibility that your heater has bacteria growing inside and is in need of flushing.
No hot water or fluctuating temperatures:Â Obviously, if you have a water heater, you want it to produce hot water. If it is no longer doing its job, it is time to call a professional. A specialist can determine the source of the problem and make the necessary replacements or adjustments so that your heater is once again in working order.
Strange noises:Â If your water heater has begun to make clanking or other strange noises, it is time to have the heater inspected for repairs or cleaning. Noises may be a sign that a component in the heater has gone bad or sediment is building up within the tank. It may also be a sign of corrosion within the tank that has no telltale signs outside.
Why Are Repairs Necessary?
Water heaters are an essential part of any home, which is what makes it so dangerous when things go wrong. A heater contaminated with bacteria or full of rust or sediment can affect your water quality and potentially your health. Water heaters can also be costly to replace. Regular maintenance can extend your water heater’s lifespan, giving you peace of mind and saving you money.
Water Heater Maintenance Process
There comes a time when your water heater needs maintenance. Water heater maintenance is designed to catch problems before they escalate into costly repairs or premature replacement. Here is the water heater maintenance process and what it entails.
- Draining the water heater to flush out any buildup of sediment and impurities. As sediments build up, they make it harder to transfer heat to the water. This leads to a less efficient water heater and early tank failure.
- Checking the tank’s structural integrity. This involves Inspecting both inside and outside the unit for signs of aging or cracks. A cracked or damaged water heater tank may lead to a water heater replacement so this is a critical tank issue.
- Checking for cracks in the hoses. Water hoses may crack due to corrosion, high water pressure or inadequate insulation. However, cracked pipes can almost always be repaired.
- Inspecting and changing the filters as needed. Over time, dust will build up on the water heater’s filter, reducing airflow and creating a less efficient heater. The filter needs to be cleaned or replaced according to manufacturer instructions.
- Determining if the unit is operating at maximum efficiency. Whether your unit is electric or gas fueled, it’s crucial to confirm that heater is producing adequate hot water without consuming too much power or gas.

Why Should You Call a Professional?
Water heaters can produce extreme temperatures. The average heater produces temperatures around 120 degrees Fahrenheit, which can cause first degree burns. A malfunctioning heater can easily produce temperatures around 160 degrees, which can cause much more severe burning. It is best to allow a trained professional make the repairs than to take that risk  yourself.

The service technician was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to address the issue with my faucet.
Candice Murphy

Since my water heater was 19 years old, I decided to replace it before a disaster happened. The hot water was taking a long time to heat and it had a terrible taste. I called Nixco because I had seen favorable reviews. They came the next day even though it wasn’t an emergency. After speaking to Todd and his apprentice, I decided to replace with a new, more efficient heater. They were both excellent in their skills and provided clean up and hauling of old tank. I would also like to thank the office staff for their help. I definitely recommend Nixco plumbing

Wow - Nixco is great to work with. I called Nixco at 9:00 AM, and the company technician. A helpful person gathered the required details. Jared, the Nixco tech, arrived within 90 minutes. After analyzing the situation, Jared gave me a proposal to run a camera down the drain line. (The proposal was very comparable to other service companies). I'm very impressed with the responsiveness and thoroughness of Jared and Nixco. Jared determined and resolved the problem. If needed in the future I will be calling Nixco again. Thank you.

Excellent service! I needed to replace my Rinnai tankless water heater asap. I called Nixco Plumbing for a service call. That day, they promptly dispatched service tech Nathan. He gave me an estimate for a new water heater and recommended(based on my water hardness) that I pair it with a water softener. He was able to schedule the install for the next day. Nathan and fellow tech Audie completed the install as scheduled within 5hrs. They where very professional and informative. Based on my experience, I plan to remain a customer. Great Job!

I’ve been using Nixco Plumbing for years, and at this point, I’m convinced they could probably fix a leaky faucet while blindfolded and still finish faster than most people can microwave a Hot Pocket. Their team is always friendly, quick, and professional—which is a dangerous combo, because now my other service providers look bad by comparison. Their online booking system is so easy it makes Amazon checkout look complicated. Seriously, I half expect it to ask me if I’d like fries with my appointment. Oh, and the real highlight: years ago, they installed a tankless water heater and handed me a Nixco-branded pizza cutter. To this day, every time we slice a pizza, I think, “Wow, this water heater is still running perfectly.” That’s marketing genius. Who else can say their plumber also doubled as their kitchenware supplier? Bottom line: Nixco fixes pipes, saves time, and keeps my pizza evenly sliced. What more could you possibly want in a plumbing company?

On a Thursday night our water heater cracked and was leaking. Within two hours of our call Chris was out to diagnose the issue and get us a temporary fix so we had hot water. Within 24 hours we had a new hot water heater installed and running. Chris and the team at Nixco Plumbing are great. Responsive and efficient. An excellent experience overall and I'd highly recommend them for any plumbing needs.

Nixco Plumbing is a professional and friendly service I have used for a camera inspection of my sewer line and root grind, then another camera inspection with purchase of RootX a year later. From the Receptionists to Shawn, the Technician, my experience was met with complete understanding of my plumbing concerns. Shawn also provided helpful suggestions that could alleviate future issues. Thank you for such great service!

Holiday weekend! Labor Day Sunday: From first call to office at 8:00 to response from technician around 10, arrival at 11 and finish 3 hours later, Chris was prompt, knowledgeable and professional. He explained the problem (sewer line blocked by pine tree roots) walked thru the repair process, gave estimate, finished work and all is well! Will use Nixco again if needed and hopefully Chris will be plumber coming out!
