Is your gas or electric water heater producing water that is too hot or too cold, or no hot water at all? Your home’s hot water heater may be facing a thermostat issue, or a buildup of sediment.
Leaking water could be a sign that your T&P valve has failed, or that an inlet or outlet pipe is loose. Give Leading Edge Plumbing & Rooter a call before it’s too late and the issue becomes more expensive to fix.
If your hot water heater is producing rusty or brown-colored water this may be a serious sign that the interior of your water heater has corrosion, and a leak is nearly inevitable. Call a Leading Edge Plumbing & Rooter water heater repair expert right away to have your home’s gas or electric water heater professionally diagnosed & repaired.
Stinky or smelly water coming from your hot water tank is likely due to a high level of bacteria. Smelly water is seen in homes with well water as their primary water source. If unsure, check your water bill to see where your water is sourced. The most common solution is replacement of the anode rod, but it’s not limited to just that. Several issues may be present, so it’s best to call the water heater repair experts at Leading Edge Plumbing & Rooter.

If your water heater isn’t producing any hot water, it could be due to a faulty heating element, a tripped circuit breaker, or a pilot light that needs re-lighting. Spring is the perfect time to address these issues with a tune-up before temperatures start climbing and you rely less on warm water.
Your water heater should be repaired if it’s leaking, producing discolored water, or producing inconsistent heating. However, if it’s over 10-15 years old, replacement may be more cost-effective. Scheduling a spring plumbing inspection will help determine the best course of action.
Noises like popping or rumbling from your water heater are often caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. Scheduling a water heater tune-up with Leading Edge Plumbing & Rooter can help clear out any sediment and quiet your system. If the issue still persists, we’ll determine an appropriate repair solution.
It’s best to flush your water heater at least once a year to remove any sediment buildup that can affect system performance. The Sylmar, CA spring season is a great time to give it a refresh while you’re tackling other seasonal cleaning and maintenance.
No, your water heater should heat water reliably regardless of the season. If it’s taking longer this spring, there could be an issue with the heating element or sediment buildup. Call (818) 351-2946 to address the issue with a quick water heater tune-up or repair.
Tankless water heaters provide on-demand hot water and tend to last significantly longer than traditional tank models. If repeated repairs are beginning to frustrate you, consider installing a tankless system this spring for reliable hot water all year long.
