Our Professional Water Heater Repair Services

There are a number of things that could go wrong with both electric and gas water heaters. Luckily, Dooley Service Pro has the experience needed to identify the problem and repair the issue with ease. Below are some of the most common water heater repair services we provide to the residents of Springfield. Not sure what you are dealing with? No problem! Give us a call to speak to one of our licensed plumbers.

Heating Element Repair

On electric water heaters, there are two different heating elements — upper and lower. If one of these elements isn’t functioning properly, the unit will not be able to produce hot water efficiently. A simple element replacement should have this up and running again in no time.

Thermostat Repair

Another electric water heater component is the thermostat. This is the main control for the unit so that you can communicate how hot you would like your water. Thermostat repair services can range from a simple reset or adjustment to replacing a faulty thermostat.

Thermocouple Repair

Found on gas water heaters, the thermocouple (also known as a flame sensor) is responsible for controlling the gas flow to the unit. If this component is not functioning properly, it will need to be repaired or replaced for your water heater to receive the gas it needs. 

Gas Valve Repair

If the thermocouple isn’t the issue, you may have a faulty gas valve. Similarly, this will stop the gas from getting to the water heater. In return, this will make it so the pilot won’t light. Replacing the bad gas valve will get your water heater functioning once again.

Burner Cleaning/Repair

If your gas water heater is not properly heating, this could be caused by rust built up within the burner or dirt that has built up on the surface. If not too severe, the burner should be able to be cleaned to solve this problem. In other scenarios, the burner may need to be replaced.

Dip Tube Repair

The dip tube is responsible for carrying the cold water through the tank to be heated, while also keeping the cold water separated from the already heated water. If this tube breaks, it will need to be repaired as it can cause an inefficiency that will result in a lack of hot water. 

Unit Flushing

Another common issue that arises within a water heater is sediment buildup. This is often the cause of strange noises coming from the unit as well as water odor and discoloration. To repair this water heater issue, the unit will need to be completely flushed and cleaned.

Plumbing Leak Repair

While leaks within the water heater unit itself aren’t normally repairable, leaks within the plumbing running to and from the unit can easily be fixed by our team at Dooley Service Pro. This could range from a broken pipe to a leaking pipe fitting that needs sealed.

How much does it cost to repair a water heater?

With the massive range of water heater repair services, it is hard to say the exact cost as it depends on the specific type of repair as well as if the issue can be easily repaired or if components will need to be replaced. However, Dooley Service Pro is here to assist you. Call us today to share further details about your situation, and to receive a free estimate!

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

This depends mostly on the issue as well as the age of your water heater. If the repairs are severe and your unit is over ten years old, it may be recommended that you replace the unit rather than spending money on repairs to just be forced to replace it a short while later.

How do I find the best water heater repair near me?

When looking for a plumber near you to repair your water heater, you will want to ensure the following things:

• That they are licensed and insured.
• That they have specific experience working with water heaters.
• That they have good ratings and reviews from past customers.

Why should you drain
your water heater?

Draining, also referred to as flushing, your water heater helps remove excess sediment in the unit’s tank that could cause a number of issues if not maintained. By draining your water heater and removing that sediment, you can rest assured that you are helping make your unit last as long as possible.
