Water Heater Repair

If your water heater hasn’t had a catastrophic failure, it can likely be repaired. Not all hot water heater leaks are catastrophic. It could be a failed tank liner, but it could also be leak or a failing relief valve, both of which are easily repaired.

Here are a few of the repairs that we often perform for our customers to get them back up and running at minimal cost:

Temperature Relief Valves (T&P)
Water Pressure Issues
Water Temperature Issues
Thermocoupler Replacement

Water Heater Replacement & Installation

Sometimes it just makes more sense to replace your water heater. If your water heater is nearing the end of it’s life, or if it’s had a catastrophic failure like a leaky tank, it can’t be repaired.

We will help you determine whether you should repair or replace your hot water heater, and we’ll work with you to make sure you make the right choice on a new water heater to meet the demands of your family.

We Install:

Conventional Tank Water Heaters
Tankless On Demand Water Heaters
Large Capacity Tanks
Gas Water Heaters
Electric Water Heaters

How Long Should My Hot Water Heater Last?

Conventional (tank) hot water heaters should be expected to last anywhere from 8-15 years. A gas water heater will have a shorter lifespan, of approximately 8-12 years, while an electric water heater will last 10-15 years.

Water Heater Maintenance

The best way to expand the life of your hot water heater is to perform routine maintenance. When you don’t perform routine maintenance, you can expect the life of your water heater to be at the low end of the life expectancy, and often premature failure.

Draining Your Hot Water Heater

Water in your home isn’t just pure H20. It has minerals that slowly build up over time. You’ll most often see evidence of this in the form of lime and other mineral build-up on your fixtures and showerheads.

Minerals build up in your hot water heater as well. Draining your tank on a routine basis flushes these minerals out and extends the life of your water heater. You should drain your water heater every 12 months. If you have hard water, it should be done more frequently.

Sacrificial Anode Rods

Water is a destructive force. It is corrosive and eats away at the tank liner and eventually the liner will fail.

Anode rods are a sacrificial metal that are designed to attract the corrosive properties of water so they eat away at the rod instead of the liner of your tank. Learn More About How Anodes Work.

Anode rods should be replaced every 3-5 years to maximize the life of your hot water heater.

Our Customers Love us...

Was very prompt, same day as our floor drain was backing up. Also then took care of our hot water heater issues. Very professional and excellent work!

STL Drains was able to remove a main line clog after two other companies couldn't and was half the price of any other company. We where so impressed that we had them come back and fix other plumbing issue we where having. Thanks again for the awesome service will definitely call again if we ever have any other issues.

STL Drains gave me a quick estimate and was able to replace my hot water heater on time and budget even with all the challenges of COVID. They also made sure to keep the job site clean and wore booties to keep my carpets safe while moving back and forth. Will call them again in a heartbeat for any plumbing projects that come up.
