COMMON ISSUES WE FIX
Solving Your Water Heater Problems
Our skilled plumbers have seen it all when it comes to water heater malfunctions. We are equipped to handle a wide range of common and complex issues to restore your hot water supply quickly. If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to give us a call for a professional diagnosis and repair.
We regularly resolve problems such as a complete lack of hot water, lukewarm water that doesn’t get hot enough, discolored or rusty water, and pilot light issues. We also address strange sounds like popping or banging, which can indicate sediment buildup, as well as any signs of water leaking from the tank or its connections. Addressing these problems promptly can prevent further damage and more costly repairs down the road.
PROACTIVE SYSTEM CARE
Preventative Water Heater Maintenance
Regular maintenance is the key to extending the life of your water heater, improving its efficiency, and preventing unexpected breakdowns. Carter’s Plumbing offers comprehensive maintenance plans designed to keep your system running at peak performance. During a tune-up, our technicians perform a thorough inspection, check for signs of wear and tear, and address any potential issues before they escalate into emergencies.
Our maintenance service includes flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup, which is a leading cause of inefficiency and component failure. We also test the pressure relief valve, check the anode rod for corrosion, and inspect all electrical and gas connections for safety. Investing in routine maintenance not only saves you money on energy bills and future repairs but also provides invaluable peace of mind.
BENEFITS OF REGULAR TUNE-UPS
Maximize Your System's Lifespan & Efficiency
Scheduling annual maintenance for your water heater is one of the smartest investments you can make for your home’s plumbing system. The primary benefit is a significantly longer lifespan for your unit. By catching and correcting minor issues early and removing corrosive sediment, we can help you get the most out of your water heater, delaying the need for a costly replacement.
Furthermore, a well-maintained water heater operates more efficiently. A clean tank with properly functioning components heats water faster and uses less energy, leading to noticeable savings on your monthly utility bills. Regular safety checks also ensure that your system is operating correctly, reducing the risk of leaks or other hazards. Protect your home and your budget with professional maintenance from Carter’s Plumbing.

HAVE QUESTIONS?
Water Heater FAQs
We understand you may have questions about your water heater. To help you make informed decisions, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions we receive from homeowners in our community.
How often should I have my water heater maintained?
We recommend professional maintenance at least once a year. Annual service, including a tank flush, helps improve efficiency, extend the unit’s lifespan, and prevent unexpected breakdowns.
What are the signs I need a new water heater?
The most common signs include the age of the unit (typically 10-12 years), recurring needs for repairs, rusty or discolored hot water, strange noises from the tank, and visible leaks or corrosion.
What's the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater?
A traditional tank heater stores and continuously heats a large volume of water. A tankless water heater, or on-demand unit, heats water instantly as it passes through the unit, providing endless hot water and saving energy.
Why is my water heater making a popping or banging noise?
This is usually caused by sediment and mineral buildup at the bottom of the tank. The noise is steam bubbles escaping the sediment. This reduces efficiency and can damage the tank over time, making a professional tank flush essential.
How long does it take to install a new water heater?
A standard like-for-like replacement of a traditional tank water heater typically takes our professionals between 2 and 4 hours to complete.
Can I repair a leaking water heater?
It depends on the source of the leak. If it’s from a fitting or valve, a repair is often possible. However, if the tank itself is leaking, the entire unit will almost always need to be replaced.
Still Have Questions About Your Water Heater?
