San Diego Water Heater Repair Experts 

Conventional water heaters are prone to a few basic issues that range from minor to urgent in terms of severity. Our water heater repair experts in San Diego know immediately where to look to quickly troubleshoot just how bad your specific issue might be. Some of the common repairs we handle on a daily basis include the following: 

• Sediment Buildup: Usually, you will hear a popping or rumbling sound in the tank from air bubbles trapped under the sediment rising to the top. Usually,  the solution is to get your water tank flushed.  
• Repairable Leaks: Valves or fittings can come loose or become defective over time. It is possible to replace or adjust these items without replacing the unit.   
• Non-Repairable Leaks: If the tank has corroded to the point where it is leaking from the bottom, it’s important to get the unit replaced to avoid a flood from the tank bursting. 
• Broken Thermostats: Obviously, when this malfunctions your water won’t be the right temperature.

Feel free to give us a call if you’re noticing any of these issues with your unit; and, we will send out a team member to take a look.

Like conventional tank systems, many of the problems that arise with tankless water heaters can be traced back to hard water. We’ve laid out some common tankless issues we repair regularly below:

• Mineral/Sediment Buildup: Similar to a conventional heater, sediment can do damage to a tankless system over time if they aren’t properly maintained.
• Low Water Pressure: Clogs from minerals will start to reduce water pressure over time. Hard water should be softened or filtered to avoid this.  
• Ignition Problems: Like gas tank heaters, tankless gas systems sometimes have problems with igniting. Gas valves and burners should be inspected for issues.

Because tankless systems are much less common, many plumbers simply don’t have the expertise to handle problems with these systems or the ability to advise on how to keep them well-maintained. The team at Castleworks, on the other hand, has extensive knowledge regarding tankless technology and can get your system back up and running in no time.
