Water Heater Repair

No hot water, not enough hot water, or a water heater that won't stay lit? SureFix Plumbers diagnoses and repairs gas and electric tank water heaters and tankless units across the San Fernando Valley.

We'll tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense or whether your unit is near the end of its life, so you don't put money into a water heater that's about to fail.

Common repairs

• Pilot light won't stay lit or burner won't ignite

• Thermocouple, gas valve or igniter replacement

• Electric heating element and thermostat replacement

• Leaking drain valve or relief valve

• Tankless error codes, scale buildup and flushing

• Rotten-egg smell or discolored water

• Expansion tank replacement

Repair or replace?

Repair usually makes sense when the unit is under about 8 years old and the tank itself isn't leaking. If the tank is leaking or the unit is 10+ years old, replacement is usually the better value. We'll give you both options and prices so you can decide.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my water heater leaking?
A leak from a valve or fitting can often be repaired. A leak from the tank itself means the tank has failed and needs to be replaced.

Do you repair tankless water heaters?
Yes. We service and repair Rinnai, Noritz, Navien and other major brands, including descaling flushes.

How often should a water heater be flushed?
Tank units: about once a year. Tankless units: every 1–2 years, more often with hard water.
