Common Water Heater Problems
Leaking Tank
If you discover your water heater is leaking, shut off your home’s water valve. It’s usually situated in your basement, by furnace or water heater, or underneath your kitchen sink.
Then contact Hammond Plumbing & Heating at 226-240-1120 without delay. Even a little leak can cause significant damage to your home.
A leaky tank may be indicating you need to replace your water heater.
Not Enough Hot Water

A lack of hot water may also indicate that your water heater is on its last leg and needs to be replaced.
Water is Too Hot or Too Cold
Your water heater may be too small. We can help you figure out your usage and remedy the issue.
Other Water Heater Problems
