Common Water Heater Problems We Repair
From minor glitches to major breakdowns, our experienced engineers have seen and fixed it all. Here are some of the most frequent issues we resolve for our Newmarket customers:
No Hot Water
This could stem from a faulty heating element (electric), a pilot light issue (gas), a tripped breaker, or a malfunctioning thermostat. Our engineers will quickly diagnose the root cause.
Water Heater Not Heating Enough
Often a sign of sediment buildup in the tank, a partially failing heating element, or an incorrectly set/faulty thermostat. We'll get your water temperature consistent again.
Leaking Tank
A leaking water heater is an urgent issue. It can indicate loose connections, a faulty pressure relief valve, or more seriously, a failing tank that requires immediate attention.
Strange Noises (Rumbling, Banging)
Often caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank, which overheats and creates steam bubbles, leading to rumbling or popping sounds.
Broken Thermostat
A faulty thermostat can lead to inconsistent water temperatures, water that's too hot or too cold, or a complete lack of hot water. We can test and replace it.
Pilot Light Issues
For gas water heaters, a pilot light that won't stay lit or won't ignite can be due to a faulty thermocouple, a blocked pilot tube, or gas supply issues.
Low Water Pressure
If only your hot water pressure is low, it could be sediment buildup restricting flow or an issue with your water heater's dip tube or pressure relief valve. We can also help with general low water pressure issues.
Rust-Coloured Water
A clear sign of corrosion inside your water heater's tank, often indicating a failing anode rod or that the tank itself is nearing the end of its lifespan. Address this quickly to prevent further damage.
Smelly Hot Water
Often described as a "rotten egg" smell, this is typically caused by bacteria reacting with the anode rod inside the tank. We can flush your tank and inspect the anode rod.
Faulty Heating Elements
Crucial for electric water heaters, if one or both elements fail, you'll experience insufficient or no hot water. We carry common elements for quick replacement.
Electrical Issues
Tripped circuit breakers, faulty wiring, or issues with the water heater's electrical components can stop it from working. These require expert emergency plumbing attention.
Gas Supply Issues
Problems with the gas valve, regulator, or supply lines can prevent gas water heaters from igniting. Our Gas Safe engineers will safely diagnose and rectify these problems.

Rumbling, banging, or popping noises are typically caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. This sediment can trap water, causing it to boil and create steam, which then causes the noise. Flushing the tank can often resolve this, but regular maintenance is key to prevention.
While not always an emergency, consistently low hot water pressure can be a sign of underlying issues such as sediment buildup, a faulty pressure regulator, or even issues within your home's pipework. It impacts comfort and can indicate problems that might worsen over time. It's best to have it checked by a professional plumber.

If your electric water heater repeatedly trips the fuse or circuit breaker, it indicates a serious electrical fault. This could be due to a short in the heating element, faulty wiring, or an issue with the thermostat. It's crucial to switch off the power to the heater and call a qualified professional immediately to prevent electrical hazards.
Yes, we highly recommend regular maintenance and servicing for your water heater. This can significantly extend its lifespan, improve efficiency, and prevent unexpected breakdowns. Contact us to discuss our range of service plans tailored to keep your hot water system in peak condition.
