Water Heaters Questions from China Grove

Not always. Water can come from the relief valve, a drain valve or a loose fitting, which are often repairable. If water comes from the tank body itself, the tank has rusted through and needs replacing. Turn off the power or gas and water to the heater, then call us.

Call us and describe what you are seeing, where it is in the house and when it started. We will explain what the first visit involves and find a time that works. Before any work starts at your China Grove home, you get a clear plan and an estimate.

China Grove is about 3 miles from our base in Landis, roughly 5 minutes south on US 29. That puts it inside our regular service area. When you call, tell us your street and the problem so we can plan the visit and bring the right parts.

Popping or rumbling usually means sediment has built up on the bottom of the tank. Water trapped under the sediment boils and pops as the burner heats it. Flushing the tank can help if the buildup is caught early. On an older unit, it can be a sign the tank is wearing out.
