Did You run Out Of Hot Water?
Some Free Advice From Swell Guy Plumbing.
Most of us take hot water for granted, until we’re forced to take a cold shower.
What should you do if your water heater is leaking?
First, shut the water off to your water heater to relieve the pressure. It will probably still leak but not as bad. Water and electricity do not mix well so turn off the breaker if you have an electric water heater (we actually recommend doing this first for safety reasons). We also recommend turning off the gas supply valve if you have a gas water heater. Now it’s time to call your plumber.
What should you do if your water heater is not leaking?
For electric water heaters check for leaks, then check the breaker, it may be tripped and start working fine once the breaker is reset. For gas water heaters check for leaks, make sure the gas valve and gas control knob are both in the on position, and finally see if you can see the pilot light through the small view port at the bottom of the water heater. You can try to relight the pilot, if you’re comfortable doing so, by following the pilot lighting instructions on the tank. If resetting the breaker or relighting the pilot doesn’t work, it’s time to call your plumber.
A final note about water heater repairs & Replacements
Plumbers charge different prices, some charge more and some charge less. We recommend checking around to see if a plumber will give you a price range before you pay them to come out. At Swell Guy Plumbing, we believe in transparency so we post our water heater repair and replacement prices online so that you can have a good idea of what you’ll probably spend before you pay us to come out.
