When your water heater stops producing hot water, you might wonder if you should immediately call for professional repairs or if there are tasks you can try on your own to resolve the issue. Some troubleshooting tasks you can try include:

• Check the pilot light to see if it is still lit
• Check the circuit breaker to see if it was tripped
• Check the system’s thermostat to see what temperature it is set

If these tips do not resolve the issue, you need to call or text our S.D.H. Plumbing & Heating experts. We can also help with water heater troubleshooting, repairs, replacements, drain cleaning, and heating and air conditioning support.

If your water pressure is lower than usual, it can indicate you have a plumbing problem that needs to be repaired. Some potential causes for low water pressure are:

• Too many plumbing fixtures running at the same time
• Faulty fixtures, like showerheads or faucets
• Broken pressure regulators that do not stabilize the water pressure in your home
• Closed valves that prevent your water supply from traveling through them
• Clogged pipes disrupting the water flow through the pipes

When you experience a drop in water pressure, call a drain cleaning expert as soon as possible. S.D.H. Plumbing & Heating is always here to help!

If you are running out of hot water quickly, this can be due to several reasons, including:

• Multiple appliances are using hot water at the same time
• Sediment is building up in the unit
• The dip tube is broken, so cold water can’t move to the bottom of the tank to be heated
• Water heater is nearing the end of its lifespan
• Unit thermostat is not working properly

Call our team when you're experiencing issues. A water heater service or professional drain cleaning may help!

When replacing your aging water heater, the biggest decision you need to make is what type of system to purchase. The most common type of water heater is a conventional storage water heater. According to the Department of Energy, these hold between 20 and 80 gallons and release hot water from the top of the tank. These provide you with a reservoir of hot water to use for your household. To learn more about these water heaters, or to request any of our services like drain cleaning, give us a call!
