When your water heater stops working, it’s more than just an inconvenience — it can disrupt your entire household. Atwater Plumbing provides prompt water heater repair across the Milwaukee metro area, diagnosing and fixing problems fast so you can get your hot water back safely and efficiently.
Common Gas Water Heater Problems
- Thermocouples & Thermopiles: These sensors ensure the pilot stays lit. If they fail, your burner shuts off — leaving you with no hot water.
- Gas Valves with Sediment Buildup: Sediment and corrosion can block gas flow or cause the thermostat to misread, resulting in inconsistent heating.
Power Vent Water Heater Issues
- Debris in Pressure Switches: Dust or lint can block tubing, preventing airflow detection.
- Dirty Fan Blowers: A clogged blower can cause overheating or lockouts.
- Chemical Vapor Lockouts: Vapors from paint, cleaners, or even pet urine can trip sensors and shut down the unit.
Electric Water Heater Problems
- Bad Heating Elements: Burned-out elements cause lukewarm or no hot water.
- Faulty Thermostats: Temperature inconsistency often means the thermostat is failing.
- Broken Dip Tube: Cold water mixes at the top, giving short bursts of warm water followed by cold.
