Water Discoloration

If your hot water starts to look muddy, let us know that you need hot water heater repair in Pekin IL. Typically, this means the anode rod inside your water heater needs a replacement. An anode rod acts as a component that treats water chemically to prevent it from corroding the inside of your water heater. Over time, the rod will rust faster than the water heater tank itself. Over the life of your equipment, you will need to replace the anode rods a few times to maintain your water heater.

Foul Smelling Hot Water

If your hot water stinks like rotten eggs or sulfur, contact us for hot water heater repair in Pekin IL. In some cases, this could mean your system contains old iron pipes that are leaching metal into your water. Meanwhile, a worn-out anode rod also can cause a reaction with bacteria in the water to give off this unpleasant odor. In either case, we can replace system components and clean your tank to take away those bad smells.

Leaking Hot Water Tanks

If you notice any water puddles next to your equipment, call us for hot water heater repair in Pekin IL. Make sure to call quickly because any delay could cause your room to flood. In most cases, leaks from your hot water heater tank happen due to a build up of sediment inside. Meanwhile, there are times when too much pressure builds up inside your tank and it causes the temperature/pressure relief (TPR) valve to leak. Without fast action, the seams of your tank could rupture and send all the water and sediment inside shooting into your home or business.

A Lack of Hot Water

If your home or business has no hot water, check to make sure a tripped circuit breaker did not cut power to your hot water heater. If your electricity is working, then call right away for hot water heater repair in Pekin IL. The heating element or thermostat inside your hot water heater may need to be replaced. A faulty heating element will not allow the unit to heat water. Meanwhile, a faulty thermostat will read the wrong temperature and fail to tell the heating element to start heating the water. In either case, we can get your system repaired and working again.
