Common Problems & Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repairs
A handful of common problems require water heater repair in your apartment, home, or business. Recognizing an issue with your gas or electric water heater is the first step to solving the problem. But while repairs can resolve some issues, others may require an entirely new water heater installation. Call us right away for help if you notice:
- Water dripping from the base of your water tank.
- Boiling and rattling noises are coming from the hot water heater.
- Rust stains on your clothes or in the shower.
- Rusty water from the faucet.
- Too little hot water or cold water.
- Water that takes too long to heat up.
- The pilot light is out and won’t light.
If caught in time, many hot water heaters can get fixed quickly, so calling at the first sign of trouble is crucial.
Water Heater Replacement Vs. Repair
Several factors can determine the cost. The biggest and most important factor is whether or not your Water heater needs to be repaired or replaced. A good rule of thumb is the age of your water heater. The average life expectancy of a well-maintained water heater is 10-20 years, and that quickly dwindles if yours receives heavy use.
If your water heater is more than 9 years old and you start experiencing issues, it’s almost always going to be more cost-effective to replace it. Repairing it may be possible, but with the age of the appliance, it more than likely will turn out to be a short-term fix.
On the flip side, if your water heater unit is under 7 years old, repair makes the most sense. If it’s between 7-9 years old, it can get a bit tricky. Your Hey Dude plumbing technician will help you determine the best route of action: repair or replace, so you’re making the best choice for your budget and home financially.

Water Heater Replacement Costs
As you consider whether to repair or replace your water heater, some factors can impact the price. Here are a few things to think about:
- Labor Costs
The pricing of repairs varies from plumber to plumber and the length of time the repair will take. Repairing a water heater generally takes about two hours or less, but this, too, can vary depending on the nature of the repairs needed. - Make and Model
The make and model of your unit can also come under consideration. Some water heater units are more expensive. This may mean their replacement parts are more expensive as well and will account for some variation in repair costs. - Quality of Work
While it’s good to always look for an affordable plumber, what matters the most is finding someone that is experienced and reputable. Paying a low price to a bad plumber isn’t always a bargain, and you may end up with persistent issues.

Why Hire a Professional Plumber Like Hey Dude?
While do-it-yourself (DIY) has become the go-to option for many with fixes around the house, attempting to fix your water heating element on your own is not recommended. We can assure you that our professional plumbers will complete the job correctly. This means that there is no need to worry about causing further damage to your circuit breaker, gas line, or other parts of your water heater system.
In addition, working on a water heater can be dangerous, primarily when the system is fueled by natural or propane gas. If gas lines are not handled properly, they can threaten you and your home. The technicians at Hey Dude Plumbing are trained to safely deal with gas lines and all other aspects of water heater repair. When you let us take care of the job, you can have peace of mind knowing that the repairs are being handled safely and correctly.
