Common water heater problems

A failed heating element or thermostat on electric units, a pilot light or gas valve problem on gas units, sediment built up in the tank, a worn anode rod, or a leaking tank or fitting. Some are simple repairs; a leaking tank usually means replacement.

Repair or replace?

Tank heaters often last roughly 8–12 years. If yours is older, leaking from the tank itself or needing repeated repairs, replacement is usually the better value. Our repair-or-replace guide walks through it.

Tank or tankless

Tankless heaters heat water on demand and take less space, but need the right gas or electrical supply and venting. A plumber can tell you which type suits your home and household size.
