How the job goes

Water Heater Repair, explained

We test the thermocouple or flame sensor, gas valve, burner, elements, and thermostats, and replace what has failed. Sediment-heavy tanks get flushed.

If the tank body itself is leaking, it cannot be repaired. We will tell you that up front and quote a replacement.

Hot water in San Antonio

Water Heater Repair in San Antonio: local factors

Sediment from San Antonio's hard water settles in the bottom of the tank and causes rumbling, slow recovery, and early failure. An annual flush extends tank life noticeably.

We work from 8666 Huebner Rd and cover the Medical Center, Leon Valley, Castle Hills, Shavano Park, Helotes, Alamo Ranch, Stone Oak, Alamo Heights, and the surrounding communities, around the clock.

Questions

Water Heater Repair FAQ

Is it worth repairing a heater over 10 years old?

A cheap part, maybe. A major repair on an old tank, usually not.

How often should I flush my water heater?

Once a year in San Antonio because of the hard water.

A leak costs more every hour it runs.

Shut the supply off if you can reach the valve, then call. We answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
