What Is Your Water Heater Doing?
Symptoms help distinguish heating failures, maintenance needs, leaks and possible tank failure. Not every problem calls for a new water heater.
No Hot Water
A failed heating element, thermostat, control, or problem with the power or fuel supply may leave your home without hot water.

Tankless DiagnosticsRepair or Replace?
Choose Based on Condition, Safety & Value
Age matters, but so do the symptoms, the tank’s condition, parts availability and the cost of doing the job correctly.
When Repair Makes Sense
The tank is structurally sound, the fault involves a serviceable component and the expected repair offers reasonable value.

The tank body leaks, failures keep returning, parts are impractical or the heater no longer meets the property’s needs.

Common Questions About Water Heaters
Can my water heater be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes. Heating elements, thermostats, valves or controls may be repairable, depending on the model and condition. A tank leaking through its body generally needs replacement.

What should I do if my water heater is leaking?
Stay clear of wet electrical equipment. If safe, shut off the water supply and call DrainBusters. Do not attempt gas or electrical repairs yourself. Some plumbing connections can be repaired, but a leaking tank usually needs replacement. Explore water heater replacement options.

How can I choose the right size water heater?
We consider household demand, simultaneous fixture use, recovery rate, existing utilities and available space. Household size alone does not determine capacity.
