Water Heater Repair in Houston

Whirlpool water heaters in this area are typically tank models, gas or electric, with a heating element or burner, a thermostat, a temperature and pressure relief valve, an anode rod and a drain valve. Many heaters sit in garages or closets, where leaks and heat damage go unseen.

Hard water forms scale on the elements and sediment in the tank, which cuts efficiency and causes popping noises. Gas units are affected by dust and moisture in the burner area, and heaters that sit in hot garages or near the coast corrode sooner. A tank past ten to fifteen years is more likely to fail than to be repaired.

We check power or gas ignition, the thermostat, elements or burner and the valves, and we examine the tank for leaks. Because gas lines, venting and new installations call for a licensed plumber, we repair what we can and refer the rest.
