Frequently Asked Questions

Can a leaking water heater tank be repaired?

If water is leaking from a threaded valve or flex line, it can be repaired. If water is leaking from the internal glass-lined steel tank itself, it cannot be safely repaired and requires complete unit replacement.

What causes popping sounds inside a water heater?

Heavy mineral scale and hard water sediment settle at the bottom of the tank. Trapped water boils underneath the sediment layer, creating steam bubbles that pop loudly against the tank bottom.
