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: 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: 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: 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: 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.

Chris and John were on time, very professional, and very pleasant! They informed us about several tips for taking care of our plumbing and clearly explained our options to fix our existing leaking faucet. They efficiently completed the work to install a new faucet and we were very satisfied! Becky who set up our appointment on the phone was also very nice and helpful. We will be calling them again for any future plumbing issues.

Clogged drains. Frozen pipes. Old house! In a world where many jobs are completed when "it's good enough", that is not the case with Nixco! If it isn't right to their expert high standards...they work until it is! Jared goes way beyond "good enough" AND is friendly, skilled, and obviously knowledgeable. Thank you Jared. Thank you John. Thank you NIXCO!

We had Chris McClure from Nixco Plumbing onsite for our annual backflow system inspection, and once again he provided excellent service. Chris is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and professional, ensuring everything was inspected properly and clearly explained. He is consistently reliable, respectful of our facility, and mindful of our operational needs. Chris is our preferred technician, and for good reason—he always takes great care of our needs and makes the entire process smooth and stress-free. We truly appreciate his attention to detail and dependable service, and we highly recommend both Chris and Nixco Plumbing.

I definitely recommend Nixco for all of your plumbing needs. I’ve used Nixco to install a water heater, modify the plumbing to my refrigerator water filtration system, and most recently they fixed a problem with water backing into my dishwasher. Todd and Paddy did a great job fixing the water backup issue I have been experiencing most recently. They quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it without overselling beyond what was necessary to correct the problem. This kept the price down. In 2018, Todd also installed my water heater. He fitted it with a tub under the water heater and a pcv pipe to the basement drain. I’ve never had a problem with the water I’ve been using Nixco for 15 to 20 years. I started with Nixco with my previous house and continued after moving into a condo. They are trustworthy, reliable, and they don’t oversell.

This was our third use of Nixco for plumbing problems. Today Jared and John came to work on our dead water heater. Just as with the other two visits the guys were knowledgeable, skilled, and courteous. It's good to have plumbers you can trust. We send all of our friends to Nixco with confidence.

Chris and Alex came out to update my sewage pump. I bought the pump and they did a great job installing it, including a new plastic 8-bolt cover. Chris worked extra hard to get the sump sealed for both water and gas leaks. They wanted to use a different check valve, but I wanted to keep my specialty one for quiet operation. Honestly didn't see a need for a different check valve as mine was 2 months old, so they agreed and used mine. Great guys to work with. They are sensible and knowledgeable.

Let me first say thank you for returning my call for service whereas two other vendors must have been too busy to return multiple calls for service. Shawn was amazing at helping me review the age of our systems and offered solutions then took care of the work the same day. We had multiple items that must be replaced due to age, and they did a great job. Joining Shawn was Kyle and while he is new to business, he had a desire to learn vs waiting around for something to do. Shawn was an excellent coach as he teaches the plumbing trade to Kyle. So nice to have hired a company that responded and is working to fill the trade gap while doing excellent work. I will hire them for the next job that comes up. Thank you!!!

I noticed my dump pump wasn’t working after looking at it I couldn’t find the issue. Called Nixco and the quickly scheduled an appointment for the next morning. Audie gave an ETA and arrived on time! He was very personable, knowledgeable and did his homework on our last repairs. He assessed the issue and much to our surprise, it was just the control panel in the battery back-up. No need for a new sump, only the battery & control panel. He also checked our hot water tank and noticed the expansion tank was faulty. Thanks Nico for being honest and forthcoming…it saved us money & prevented emergency situations. Being a NIXCO CBustomer is well worth it!!!

Nixco was able to send someone out within a hour of calling for service. Shawn did a great job explaining why my sewer line backed up a second time in just a couple of months. He was able to clear the clog and gave me recommendations for keeping that line clear. I am very satisfied with the service provided and will definitely use Nixco again.

We had an “emergency” situation on Sunday and the on-call technician (who had to travel many miles) was here within 2 hours. Not only was he very knowledgeable and professional, but he was also very friendly and willing to answer all my questions. He got the job done quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend Nixco Plumbing. Ask for Audie Reed next time you need service. 🙂

I was informed when Nathan was to arrive, that he was running late and he could still come that afternoon or in the morning, and that he had arrived. He was knowledgeable, professional and personable. Even though it was late he answered my many questions. I did not feel that he was rushing to finish. He assessed the problem, explained the repair and gave me a price to fix it. He replaced a faulty valve and examined the leak from our dishwasher and made suggestions. I think prices could be lower but I feel confident in the work done. I am pleased with the Nixco service and will use them again.

Our 99 year old home had a significant problem with a back up of sewer pipes due to tree roots. Nixco scheduled our service quickly, and Audie was thoughtful in finding the problem and the best solution. Audie and Paddy did an excellent job and were great about communicating what needed to be done and were up front about the cost of the work. We are confident that they have solved our problem. We appreciated their professionalism and hard work. We would highly recommend Nixco.

Audie is as great! He seemed honest and knowledgeable. Explained everything to us, answered all of our questions. Fixed the shower head (dripping, not hot enough) and added a pressure valve to the water heater and replaced the expansion tank, all in the same day before I had to leave for book club. Excellent!
