Most plumbing problems give you warning before they become urgent. If any of these sound familiar, it is worth having the system looked at now rather than after it fails.
Plenty of "failed" water heaters need a thermostat, element, thermocouple or a flush — not a replacement. We check first.
On a unit under roughly ten years old with a sound tank, repair is often the right call. On an older or leaking tank, we will say plainly that replacement is the better use of your money.
Tank units need periodic flushing to clear sediment. Tankless units need descaling, particularly on the harder water common around Moncks Corner and rural Lowcountry properties.
You will know what to watch for and roughly when the unit will need attention again.
A conventional tank unit typically lasts eight to twelve years, and a tankless unit longer if it is descaled regularly. Lowcountry water quality and whether the unit was ever flushed both affect that considerably.
If the tank itself is leaking, replacement is the only real option. If the tank is sound and the unit is under about ten years old, repair is usually worth it. We will give you the honest version rather than defaulting to the bigger sale.
Most often sediment. As it builds up in the bottom of the tank it takes up volume and insulates the heating source, so you get less hot water and pay more to heat it. Flushing frequently restores capacity.
Yes, including descaling and diagnostics. Many tankless complaints we see are scale-related rather than a failed unit.
