FAQs

To shut off your home's main water supply, locate the main shut-off valve. It's usually found where the water line enters your home, often near the water heater, in a basement, garage, or utility area. Turn the valve clockwise (to the right) until it stops. If you have a gate valve, it may take several full turns. For outdoor shut-off valves, often near the street, you may need a water key or wrench. Since proper water control is essential for any water heater repair in Brandon, FL, if you’re unsure or can’t find the valve, call us. We’re happy to help walk you through it or send a technician.

According to The Spruce, traditional tank water heaters have a typical lifespan of 8 to 12 years, while tankless models can last up to 20 years. If your water heater is reaching the end of its lifespan, it may be time to consider an upgrade. Other warning signs include: 

• Inefficient heating
• Rusty or discolored water
• Unusual noises like rumbling or banging
• Water that runs out quickly or doesn't stay hot
• Leaks or moisture around the base of the tank

If you notice any of these issues, it's a good idea to have a professional plumber inspect your system. Proper evaluation is essential to determine if you need a full replacement or water heater repair in Brandon, FL.

A lack of hot water can be caused by a broken dip tube, a malfunctioning thermostat or heating element in an electric unit, or excessive sediment buildup in the tank that reduces efficiency. If you’re experiencing this issue, call us today for expert water heater repair in Brandon, FL.

If you notice water pooling around your water heater or dripping from it, you likely have a leak. When the leak comes from the bottom of the tank, it often indicates a crack in the internal tank, which usually requires a full replacement.

When choosing a replacement water heater, the most important factors to consider are:
