Hot Water Heater Repair
Hot water heaters don’t last forever so you’ll need to do a water heater repair at some point. Eventually, you’ll need a replacement and have to buy a completely new hot water system.
You should regularly take note if your hot water isn’t as hot anymore, the pressure is inadequate, or if any leaks have sprung. Contact our team at Bayside Plumbing and a professional plumber will come and assess whether your system requires a hot water heater repair job or replacement.
Knowing the difference between hot water repair and replacement can save you a lot of money in the long run, so it’s worth consulting with Bayside Plumbing’s hot water specialists. Our technicians will inspect the hot water problem and offer a cost-effective solution for you to consider.

How To Know When it is Time for a Hot Water System Repair
Whether you have an electric hot water heater or a gas hot water heater, all hot water heaters have a lifespan. Most hot water heaters continue functionally just fine until the age of around ten years.
Hot water heaters older than ten years are generally worth replacing with a brand new hot water heater as they are near the end of their serviceable life. However, a hot water heater repair job can generally rectify any issue with a newer system without requiring an entire replacement.
A hot water heater younger than ten years of age can be in need of an assessment from a hot water specialist if you notice:
- hot water leaks,
- discoloured water,
- granular water or water that contains sediment,
- strange sounds coming from your hot water system,
- the pilot light going out erratically,
- water tasting or smelling unusual or metallic,
- hot water running out quicker than usual, or
- low water pressure.
What Does a Hot Water System Inspection Include?
At Bayside Plumbing, every plumber on our team is able to inspect hot water heaters and provide plumbing solutions. We inspect all kinds of hot water units, including electric water heaters, gas water heaters and solar hot water systems.
A hot water heater repair or replacement service can be pricey, so a plumber will generally inspect your hot water system thoroughly before providing a recommendation. Once any kind of problem is identified, they will provide a comprehensive quote. You can discuss this with your plumber or any member of our team if you need a breakdown or more information to make an informed decision.
Our professional plumbing services for hot water heaters includes inspecting:
- the tempering valve,
- the pressure relief valves,
- the heating element,
- the expansion control valve,
- the thermostat,
- the hot water system for calcium build-up,
- the connections, and
- the drain line for blockages.
Bayside Plumbing offers same-day service for your convenience, and most parts required for hot water system repair and maintenance can be sourced and replaced quickly and easily.
How You Can Prolong The Lifespan Of Your Hot Water Heater
Preserving and maintaining your hot water heater yourself is free, and it reduces the likelihood of needing extensive hot water heater repairs in the future.
You can flush your hot water system twice a year:
- Turn off the hot water heater and shutoff valve for the hot water pipe.
- Release the airflow by opening your hot taps so that it doesn’t create a vacuum.
- Connect a garden hose to the drain valve and flush the water down the drain or position the spout on the grass outside.
- Check that the hot water system’s pressure relief valve is working – if it is, it should make the water flow faster.
- Inspect the water for any sediment particles.
If you have a gas hot water heater, inspect the burner for defects such as flame rollout, burn marks, improper flame colour, uneven flame, or noises once a year.
