Get Hot Water Flowing Again
When the shower runs cold, Badger Plumbing Company moves fast. Our hot water heater repair service covers electric and gas units across Fallston, Shelby, and Lawndale with clear diagnostics and same-day solutions when possible.
Common Water Heater Issues We Fix
- No hot water or not enough hot water (elements, thermostats, dip tubes)
- Leaks at the tank or valves
- Strange noises from sediment buildup
- Pilot light won’t stay lit (gas units)
- Tripped safety devices or error codes
Our Repair Process
We start with a thorough diagnosis—checking power/gas supply, heating elements, thermostats, pilot assembly, and tank integrity. Our trucks carry common parts, so many repairs are handled on the spot. You’ll approve a written estimate before work begins.
Maintenance That Prevents Repeat Problems
While we’re there, we can flush the tank, clean burners, and inspect the anode rod to slow corrosion and extend life—especially helpful in older homes near South Mountain State Park with mineral-heavy water.
When Replacement Is the Smart Move
If your heater is 10–15 years old, leaking from the tank, or breaking down often, replacement may cost less than repeated repairs. We’ll explain options and handle a smooth transition to a new unit.
Why Choose Badger for Repairs
Local pros, licensed and insured, with experience on all major brands. We provide upfront pricing—even after hours—and keep the workspace clean from Belwood to Waco so your home stays comfortable during the fix.
Detailed Answers on Repairs
Why is my water only lukewarm?
Failed elements/thermostats (electric), sediment on the bottom of the tank, undersized capacity, or a mixing valve issue can limit temperature. We test components and restore proper heat.
My tank is leaking—can it be repaired?
Valve or connection leaks can be fixed; a leaking tank wall means replacement is the safe solution.
Why won’t my pilot light stay lit?
Thermocouple, gas control, or venting issues are common causes. We test and replace faulty parts, then verify safe operation.
Do you carry parts for same-day fixes?
Our trucks stock common elements, thermostats, igniters, anode rods, and valves so many repairs finish on the first visit.
Should I repair or replace an older unit?
If the heater is 10–15 years old or needs frequent repairs, replacement usually costs less long-term. We’ll explain options and pricing clearly.
Can you perform maintenance during the repair?
Yes—flushing sediment, checking anode rods, and testing safety devices helps extend lifespan and reduce noise.
Will you talk me through the main shutoff?
Absolutely. We can guide you by phone and show you its location during the visit for next time.
