Water Heater Repair

What's Going On With Your Water Heater?

Most water heater problems come down to a handful of parts: thermostats, heating elements, pilot assemblies, and valves. The good news is that many of them can be repaired in one visit.

We work on gas and electric tank water heaters, and we carry common parts on the truck. If your unit is past the point where a repair makes sense, we'll tell you and walk you through replacement options.

What's Going On With Your Water Heater?

Signs You Need Water Heater Repair

If you notice any of these in your home, give us a call before a small problem turns into a big one.

No hot water

Water runs cold or the hot water runs out much faster than it used to.

Popping or rumbling

Noises from the tank often mean sediment has built up on the bottom.

Rusty or smelly water

Brown water or a rotten egg smell from the hot side points to a tank issue.

Water around the base

A small drip from a valve or fitting can often be fixed before it gets worse.

Seeing any of these? Call Fox Plumbing at (309) 219-2671.

Repair or Replace? We'll Give You a Straight Answer

Not every problem means a new water heater. If your unit is in decent shape, a part swap is usually the way to go. If it's older and failing in more than one way, we'll walk you through replacement options so you can decide.

  • A repair usually makes sense when the tank is solid and only one part has failed.
  • Replacement is often the better call when the tank itself is leaking or the unit is near the end of its life.
  • Either way, you get a free estimate before any work starts.

Gas and Electric Water Heaters

Gas units usually have pilot, igniter, or gas valve trouble. Electric units usually come down to elements or thermostats. We work on both, and we bring common parts on the truck so most repairs get done in one visit. [CONFIRM]
