Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my water heater make popping noises?

Usually sediment has settled at the bottom of the tank, and water trapped under it boils as the burner heats. Flushing the tank can help if it's caught early.

Is a leaking water heater repairable?

A leak from a valve or fitting can often be repaired. A leak from the tank itself means the tank has failed and needs replacement.
