Water Heaters Questions from Concord

It depends on age and the problem. A failed element, thermostat or gas valve on a newer heater is often worth repairing. A tank that is leaking from the body, or one past about 10 years with rust in the water, is usually worth replacing. We check it and explain both options.

Concord is about 18 miles from our base in Landis, roughly 25 minutes south on I-85. 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.
