5 Signs You Might Need Water Heater Repair
Sudden cold bursts in your hot water
You’re in the middle of a shower and get hit with a cold shock—that can be a sign of a cracked dip tube mixing hot and cold before it reaches the tap.
Leaks around the tank
Puddles or damp spots near the base of the water heater are never “normal.” It might be a valve, a fitting, or the tank itself starting to fail.
Rust-colored hot water
If only the hot side is tinted or looks rusty, your anode rod could be breaking down from the inside.
​
Weak hot water pressure
Sediment and mineral buildup can clog the lines and slow the flow from your hot side.
​
Popping, crackling, or rumbling sounds
That noise is usually sediment cooking at the bottom of the tank, making your heater work harder than it should.
​
When It’s Time to Replace Instead of Repair
Most standard water heaters last somewhere around 8–12 years before they start getting tired. After that, you may find yourself calling for repairs more often—or noticing little things that don’t feel quite right.
​
We’ll always try to save you money where it makes sense. But sometimes a new unit really is the smarter move.
​
It might be time to replace if:
-
You hear loud rumbling or banging from the tank
-
There’s water pooling or recurring dampness around the base
-
Hot water runs out faster than it used to
-
Your water is frequently rusty or discolored
-
You’re scheduling repairs over and over
-
Your energy bills are creeping up with no clear reason
When that’s the case, we’ll help you choose a new system that fits your home, install it correctly, and haul the old one away so you’re not stuck dealing with it.

Thinking About Going Tankless?​
If your household is constantly running out of hot water—or you hate paying to keep a big tank hot all day when no one’s home—a tankless water heater might be the better fit.
​
Tankless systems heat water on demand as it passes through the unit, which means:
-
Endless hot water (great for bigger families or back-to-back showers)
-
No big storage tank taking up space
-
Better energy efficiency in many homes
We can take a look at your Schertz home, talk through usage, and let you know if tankless really makes sense for you—not just in theory, but in real life.
