Water Heater Repair & Replacement in Milwaukee, WI

Expert Service for All Types of Water Heater Problems

As with any other type of appliance, your water heater can, and eventually will, wear out. Only unlike other appliances which simply stop working, a worn-out water heater could actually threaten your home with damage. Tank-style water heaters could start to leak and damage things like flooring, drywall, and more, leading to mold and expensive restoration services. Likewise, an older water heater is more prone to issues like bad burners or heating elements, poor ventilation, and more.

We offer high-quality water heater repair in Milwaukee for the following problems:

• Heating element problems
• Pilot light issues
• Lukewarm or unheated water
• Strange noises or smells
• Exhaust problems
• Bad gas or electrical connections

Signs You Need Water Heater Repair

Water heaters are one of the most frequently used plumbing systems in our homes. We rely on our hot water heaters for our dishwashers, showers, and washing machines, and over time they will eventually break down and require repair.

Usually it's fairly obvious when your water heater is acting up—you either won't have any hot water at all or it will run out too quickly. Be on the lookout for these other signs that your water heater needs repair.

Your water heater might be broken if you notice:

• A sudden spike in your utility bill - if your water bill suddenly increases without explanation, you may be dealing with a leak from your water heater tank. If your gas or electric bill surges (depending on what type of hot water heater you have), this could also indicate that something is wrong with your hot water heater. If you notice a spike in your utilities paired with one or more of the below symptoms, contact us for comprehensive water heater repair in Milwaukee today.
• Fluctuating water temperatures - inconsistent water temperatures are a good indication that something is wrong with your water heater. If the water is as hot as you need it one minute and lukewarm the next, there may be excess sediment or minerals in the storage tank of your water heater. We recommend scheduling annual water heater flush services to prevent this from happening.
• Discolored water - if the water coming out of your faucets is cloudy, there may be excess minerals in your water heater tank that need to be flushed out. If you notice rust-colored water, that is a sign that there is rust on the inside of the water heater tank. Unfortunately, corrosion is not repairable, which means the tank will need replacement.
• Strange noises - it is normal for water heaters to make some background noise while they are operating, but if you hear loud banging, popping, or grinding noises, it is important to contact a plumber in Milwaukee as soon as possible. We can quickly diagnose the root of the problem and help prevent damage to the water heater tank.
• A leaking tank - a leaking water tank is one of the clearest indications that something is wrong with your hot water heater. It is important to get these repaired as soon as possible to prevent larger leaks which could flood your home.
