Water heater repair
in Montclair & the Inland Empire.

What goes wrong and what we fix.

• No hot water (gas): usually pilot assembly, thermocouple, or gas valve
• No hot water (electric): usually heating element or thermostat
• Not enough hot water: sediment buildup, a failing dip tube, or (electric) a burned-out lower element
• Strange noises (popping, rumbling): sediment buildup, often fixed with a flush
• Water too hot or temperature swinging: usually a thermostat or gas control valve
• Dripping or discharging T&P valve: a warning sign of overheating or high pressure from thermal expansion, so we also check your water pressure and the expansion tank's air charge
• Discolored hot water: a worn-out anode rod (we can replace it), or the tank starting to rust inside (time to replace the heater)
• Pilot light won't stay lit: thermocouple, gas valve, or venting issue
• Tankless error codes: usually scale buildup or a sensor issue

Find where the water is coming from.

Water under a water heater doesn’t always mean the tank has failed. Wipe the floor and the bottom of the heater dry, then watch for where fresh water shows up first.

• The drain valve (the small valve near the bottom front): a slow drip from the valve or its threads. It may not be fully closed, or its washer is worn. This is usually a valve repair, not a new heater.
• The temperature and pressure relief valve (T&P): water running down the discharge pipe from the top of the tank toward the floor. The valve opens when pressure or temperature is too high, often from high house water pressure or an expansion tank that isn’t working. Never plug or cap this pipe. We check your water pressure and the expansion tank’s air charge.
• Condensation (gas heaters): drops under the burner area when a tank full of cold water first heats up, most often on a new heater. It stops once the water is hot.
• A fitting on top: water from a supply connection or fitting at the top running down the side of the tank. Fittings can be repaired.
• The tank itself: water seeping from the tank or from under the outer jacket, often with rust, when none of the above explain it. A leaking tank can’t be repaired; replacing the heater is the fix.

Not sure, or is water pooling? Turn off the cold-water valve at the top of the heater, turn the gas control to OFF (gas) or switch off its breaker (electric), and call us at (909) 312-4516.
