How to Tell if Your Water Heater Needs Repair
For many, when their water heater stops working, it’s very obvious. There is no hot water! But other times, it’s hard to tell if the water heater is misbehaving or on its way to a breakdown. Here are some signs that your water heater isn’t working like it should.
No hot water
Not having any hot water or having cold water flowing from the hot side of the faucet is a pretty obvious sign your water heater is in need of services or repairs.
Shower water is lukewarm
A possible sign that a water heater needs repair is detected in the shower. If the water temp is lukewarm and not hot, something may be going on with the hot water heater.
Water is VERY hot
When control valves, thermostats and elements fail, sometimes they overheat the water. If your water is extra hot out of the blue, be cautious because you will likely need a water heater repair or service call.
Water leaking from hot water tank
Water heater repair is needed when the tank or any component is leaking on the water heater.
Water heater tank rumbling
Strange noises from your water heater often mean sediment has built up and you're in need of water heater service and possibly a hot water tank repair.
Dripping or leaking relief valve
The tube that runs down the side of your water heater is called the relief valve and if water drips or flows out of that tube, this is a sign of needed heater repairs.

- Vapor sensor for gas water heater

Repairing leaking gas water heaters, replacing relief valves, and diagnosing gas water heaters that aren't heating properly are all services we provide daily.
Power Vent Water Heater Repair
Here are some common power vent water heater repairs we make (these heaters are also known as direct vent water heaters):
- Clearing water heater error codes
- Water heater vent motor repair or replacement
- Power vent water heater pressure switch repairs
- Ignitor repairs and replacement for power vent water heaters
- Relief valve repairs and replacements
- Flame sensor and vapor sensor lockout repairs
- Anode rod replacements and installation
A power vented gas water heater is commonly used in more modern construction. Power vented gas water heaters utilize an exhaust fan and vent through the sidewall of the home using PVC piping. Power vent water heaters are more efficient because of their extra technology, but in turn are more prone to requiring repairs. Because of the electrical components involved, a skilled plumber is needed to accurately troubleshoot power vent water heaters and to perform power vent water heater repairs. Our technicians are fully qualified and equipped to handle your power vent water heater issue.
Electric Water Heater Repair
Most common electric water repairs we complete:
- Water heater element replacements
- Electric water heater lower thermostat
- Upper thermostat installation on electric water heaters
- Reset button failure
- Testing heating elements
Even though our market is rich in natural gas, many homes have electric water heaters. From diagnosing why your electric water heater is running out of hot water quickly or replacing water heater elements, to making adjustments to your electric water heater’s thermostat, our team is trained on electric water heater repairs so we can repair it right the first time.
Tankless Water Heater Repair
Most common tankless water heater repairs Austin Plumbing, Heating & Air completes:
- Failed ignition codes
- Flow restriction repairs
- Flame sensors
- Tankless water heater flushing
- Tankless water heater leaks
- Gas control valves for tankless heaters
- Flow sensors
The most efficient of all the water heater types are tankless water heaters. Similar to the power vent water heater, tankless water heaters utilize modern technology to achieve high efficiency water status. This increase in technology typically means that they are more prone to requiring repair. This is why the plumbers at Austin Plumbing, Heating & Air are extensively trained in tankless water heater repairs as well as performing annual tankless water heater service.
