Signs It's Time for a New Water Heater
Most water heaters give some warning before they fail. Catching the signs early means you can replace the unit on your schedule, not after it soaks the garage floor.
- Water pooling at the base, or rust along the bottom seam
- Rusty or metallic-tasting hot water
- Rumbling or popping from sediment in the tank
- Pilot or burner trouble that keeps coming back
- Running out of hot water much sooner than before
A leak from the tank itself can't be patched. If yours isn't leaking, a repair may still make sense, and a contractor can tell you which way to go.

Common Questions
Do you do the work yourselves?
No. We're a referral service. When you call and enter your ZIP code, you're connected with an independent local contractor, and that contractor does the work and is responsible for it.
What happens when I call?
You enter your ZIP code, and the call is put through to a local contractor who serves your area. You talk with them directly about what's happening and decide what to do next.
Do the contractors handle gas and electric water heaters?
The contractors you're connected with handle water heater work. Tell them your fuel type, tank size and where the heater is installed so they can confirm it's a job they take on.
Can a leaking water heater be repaired?
A leak from a fitting or valve can often be fixed. A leak from the tank itself usually means the tank has failed and needs replacing. The contractor can find the source and tell you which you have.
What should I have ready when I call?
Your ZIP code, the heater's fuel type (gas or electric), its approximate age and size from the label, where it's installed, and what you're noticing.
How do I check a contractor's license?
Ask the contractor for their license number and look it up with California's Contractors State License Board. Ask about insurance too before you hire.
