Expert Repair for All Water Heater Problems
Nothing disrupts your day like a cold shower. When your water heater fails, you need a fast, reliable expert you can trust. Our lincensed, bonded, insured technicians are equipped to solve any water heater issue and diagnose the root cause to get your hot water back on.
Why is there no hot water in my house? This is our most common emergency call. No hot water could be caused by a faulty pilot light, bad thermocouple, failed heating element, or gas valve issue. Principle Plumbing provides same-day water heater repair service throughout we bring years of experience. Our technicians carry the parts needed to diagnose and fix most problems on the first visit.
Why is my water heater not getting hot enough? Lukewarm water is often caused by a broken dip tube, malfunctioning thermostat, or sediment buildup insulating the burner from the water. Principle Plumbing specializes in diagnosing temperature issues. We'll test all components and explain whether repair or replacement is the most cost-effective solution for your we bring years of experience home.
Can a leaking water heater be repaired? It depends on where the leak is coming from. A leak from a fitting or valve can often be repaired. However, if your tank itself is leaking, it cannot be fixed and requires immediate replacement. Principle Plumbing offers honest assessments—we'll never recommend unnecessary replacements for we bring years of experience homeowners.
What causes a water heater to make loud popping sounds? Those popping or rumbling sounds are water trapped under a layer of baked-on sediment being forced to boil. A professional tank flush is needed to remove the buildup. Principle Plumbing provides annual water heater maintenance including flushing, anode rod inspection, and safety checks to prevent problems before they become emergencies.
Why does my hot water smell bad or look rusty? Rusty water indicates tank corrosion and impending failure. A "rotten egg" smell is often caused by bacteria reacting with the anode rod, which can be resolved by replacing the rod with a special zinc-aluminum version. Principle Plumbing provides thorough diagnostics to identify the exact cause and recommend the right solution for your we bring years of experience home.
How often should I have my water heater serviced? Annual maintenance is critical for we bring years of experience homes. Combating hard water, preventing corrosion, and ensuring safety through regular tank flushing and anode rod inspection can extend your water heater's life by years. Principle Plumbing offers affordable annual maintenance plans that save you money and prevent unexpected failures.

Detailed Maintenance for Every Type of Water Heater
Your system's needs depend on its technology. We are Our licensed, insured & bonded to service them all—traditional tank, modern tankless, and high-efficiency hybrid models.
Traditional Tank Water Heater
Our most common service. The goal is to fight corrosion and sediment caused by we bring years of experience's hard water.
At Principle Plumbing, we provide comprehensive tank water heater maintenance to extend its life and restore efficiency.
OUR TANK MAINTENANCE PROCESS:
- Full Tank Flush: We drain the tank completely to flush out the damaging mineral sediment that has accumulated, restoring efficiency and quieting a noisy tank.
- Anode Rod Inspection & Replacement: We check the "sacrificial" anode rod. If it's nearly depleted, we recommend a replacement to add years to your water heater's life.
- T&P Valve Test: We test the Temperature and Pressure relief valve to ensure this critical safety device is not seized and will function properly.
- Full System Inspection: We check the thermostat, pilot assembly, gas connections, and venting for safe and proper operation.
Proactive maintenance is the single best way to extend the life of your water heater, improve efficiency, and prevent a catastrophic failure.
Tankless & Hybrid Water Heaters
Modern tankless and hybrid heat pump water heaters require specific care to maintain their high efficiency and performance.
We are Our licensed, insured & bonded to service all makes and models, including Navien, Rinnai, Rheem, and Bradford White.
TANKLESS WATER HEATER MAINTENANCE:
- System Descaling (Flushing): We isolate the unit and circulate a special descaling solution through the heat exchanger, dissolving hard water minerals that restrict flow and reduce heating performance.
- Inlet Filter Cleaning: We clean the small screen on the water inlet to remove debris and ensure strong, steady flow rate.
- Burner and Fan Inspection: We check the combustion chamber and fan for any blockages or signs of wear.
HYBRID (HEAT PUMP) MAINTENANCE:
- Air Filter Cleaning: We clean the air filter on top of the unit. A clogged filter restricts airflow and is the #1 cause of reduced efficiency.
- Condensate Drain Inspection: We ensure the condensate drain line is clear and flowing freely to prevent water backup.
- Coil and Fan Inspection: We check the evaporator coils and fan for any dust or debris buildup.
