Common Water Heater Repairs

Not sure if you need water heater repair? Check for these water heater problems in your sinks, baths, or showers:

  • Water that’s too hot
  • Water that isn’t hot enough
  • Not enough hot water
  • Discolored water
  • Smelly water
  • Water that contains rust or other sediment
  • Leaky water heater
  • Noisy water heater

For some of these symptoms, you probably don’t need a plumber. For example, when your hot water isn’t that hot, the problem could be with your water heater’s thermostat. If this is the case, you probably only need to adjust your thermostat settings or replace the thermostat if it’s faulty.

If you’re not sure how to do this, call us. We can answer any questions you might have.

On the other hand, you should call a plumber for water heater repair if there’s a leak in your water heater or you have a problem with water contaminants building up (like mineral deposits or sediment). These issues reduce your water heater’s efficiency and can ultimately run up your water bills.

Our Water Heater Repairs

At Stang Plumbing & Heating, we offer these water heater repair services:

  • Electric water heater repair: Electric water heaters are easy to maintain and don’t need to be vented outdoors. They also heat water quickly, making them more energy-efficient than other options.
  • Gas water heater repair: Gas water heaters will work even during power outages.
  • Tankless water heater repairTankless water heaters take up less floor space in your home and require less energy to operate.
  • Conventional tank water heater repair: Unlike tankless water heaters, conventional tank water heaters store water in an insulated tank until it’s needed. You’ll need a larger or smaller tank depending on the size of your home.

If your Gaithersburg home’s water heater isn’t on our list, call or contact us online to see if we can service it. We’ll work with you.

No matter what type of water heater repair you need, you can trust our expert plumbers to get the job done. Our goal is to improve the quality of your home’s plumbing. When you choose Stang Plumbing for water heater repair, we’ll strengthen the health of your plumbing system and help prevent future problems.

Water Heater Repair FAQ

Can you fix a leaking water heater?

Minor water heater leaks can be repaired. However, a full replacement may be necessary if the tank is leaking a lot of fluid or if it has rusted or cracked.

What do I do if my water heater is leaking?

If your water heater is leaking, the first step to take is to turn off your water supply to stop the tank from leaking and help you avoid any flooding. After the water supply is off, inspect your water heater to locate the leak.

Finally, contact a professional plumber to schedule an inspection. The plumber can help repair the water heater or recommend a full water heater replacement if needed.

We were very happy with the service we got for a drain blockage and an outdoor faucet replacement. Jason was great, explained things in detail, and went above and beyond to help us.

This is the fourth time over the years, that I have used Stang Plumbing. One time for a leak in the basement, once for a new kitchen sink and faucet install, with me supplying the faucet and the sink, another time for repair of a leak under the kitchen sink. And this time for a garbage disposal install, with Stang plumbing supplying the disposal. Each time they were responsive with an upfront price quote. Each time they arrive the next day as promised. All their personnel are polite and professional. Each time the job was done right and the technician left the job site neat and clean when they finished. I think their prices are resonable and competitive, and I do like that they have senior citizen's discount. Stang Plumbing will always be my first choice, when it comes to my needs for any plumbing work.

We had an intermittent, but very bad, smell that seemed to be coming from our air vents on hot humid days. Countless plumbers and other contractors could not find the source ...for over 15 years! Stang was able to find the problem (a broken vent pipe within a wall) and make the quick fix. The job was done in the Fall and although the problem appeared to be resolved, I decided to wait until it was summer-hot again to be sure. This week has been in the upper 90s with heavy humidity and yet...no bad smells. We are eternally grateful and would recommend Stang to everyone.

I had a leak in my boiler return pipe that was located under my basement floor. Stang was very responsive and came out immediately to give me an estimate. Jon was very knowledgeable and was able to fix the leak without tearing up my entire basement. Jon and mark were great to work with and they both did a great job with the repair, leaving as little mess as possible. I could not be happier with their work.

Louis from Stang is a lifesaver. Our basement was flooding on Sunday night. We called an emergency plumber. He told us to unplug our full basement freezer and get some sandbags (are there 24 hour Home Depots I don’t know about?). He said he would come back at 10am the next morning to try to figure out the source of the problem. I got back online, called Stang, and at 9-10pm on a Sunday night, Louis showed up at our house. Within 15 minutes he had figured out that one of our sump pumps was out and the other was on its last legs. He got one running and solved the immediate source of the flooding. We had him come back a week later and replace both sump pumps. This is the guy to call in an emergency!

This is a quick note to let you know I received excellent service from your company scheduling an appointment on short notice, recommendations on pressure tanks and pumps, and professional service by your plumber who instilled confidence in your work and reputation.

As a home improvement contractor, it’s imperative to have competitive pricing and excellent service with high-quality work. I’m happy working with Stang and having Rob as my project’s lead Plumber. Becky in the office is great and always responsive to our needs.

Your plumber was very pleasant, helpful, and informative about copper pipes and the problems that can occur. He was very neat and cleaned up when the job was completed. I have used one of Stang’s competitors for a period after 40 years.
