Gas Water Heater Repair
Gas water heaters provide excellent recovery rates, but when they malfunction, they require specialized safety knowledge. If you smell rotten eggs (mercaptan), hear a hissing sound, or notice a yellow flame instead of a crisp blue one, you are dealing with a potential combustion or gas leak hazard. Our technicians are highly trained in safely diagnosing and isolating gas-related plumbing failures before they become dangerous.
The most common issue homeowners face is a pilot light that refuses to stay lit. This is typically caused by a failing thermocouple—a safety device that shuts off the gas valve if it doesn't sense a flame. Our service trucks are fully stocked to perform immediate replacements of thermocouples, complete gas control valves, and entire burner assemblies. We also verify proper draft hood operation to ensure dangerous carbon monoxide gas is safely venting out of your home, restoring your hot water quickly and safely.
