Water Heater Repairs You Might Require
Many different things can break on your water heater, although there are some common culprits our technicians will look to first.
For starters, when you notice you don’t have any hot water, there’s a good chance you have a problem with your thermostat or burner. Basically, the thermostat regulates the temperature inside your tank, and the burner heats it. When either of these components breaks down, a common symptom is ending up with no hot water at all in your tank.
In other situations, your water heater might not produce as much hot water as usual. In this scenario, your burner or thermostat could be worn out, but, fortunately, Hunt’s Services can often repair your unit and restore your service when this is the issue.
If you notice the water coming from your taps is too hot, it’s another scenario where the thermostat could be to blame. You could also have a problem with your valve failing to regulate the unit’s gas intake, causing the tank to overheat.
Finally, a leak in your tank is a serious problem that requires immediate intervention. Unfortunately, it is also an issue we can’t repair because it means there’s significant corrosion to the metal inside the tank. We can, however, replace your water heater in Spanaway, restoring your service as quickly as possible. There’s also a chance the leak is coming from your connectors, pipes, or drain valves, which are replaceable components.

Repairs For Your Gas and Electric Water Heaters
Different water heater types could require different repairs. If you have a gas water heater, the repair could be slightly different than what an electric water heater needs.
Electric water heaters use your home’s electrical service to warm the water. The units are similar to an oven, as electricity heats an element, which then heats the water inside the tank. Common issues with electric water heaters include broken thermostats, burners, and tanks.
Gas water heaters utilize natural gas to heat an internal element. That element then heats the water. These units are a little more complex because there’s a gas delivery system to consider when making repairs. Thermostats, burners, and valves tend to wear out on gas water heaters over time.
Fortunately, Hunt’s Services has experience repairing both gas and electric water heaters. Our team will ensure your hot water service is up and running as quickly as possible, no matter which type of heater you’re running. Give us a call at 253-533-7500 to set up an appointment today.
