Answers to frequently asked water heater repair questions from Alton homeowners.
A water heater producing no hot water in Alton can be caused by a tripped circuit breaker for electric units, a failed pilot light or gas valve for gas units, a burned-out heating element, a failed thermostat, or a tripped high-temperature limit switch. Magnet Plumbing diagnoses the specific cause and repairs it on the same visit whenever possible.
If your water heater in Alton is under 8 years old and the repair cost is less than 50% of the replacement cost, repair is generally worthwhile. If the unit is over 10 years old, has rusted or corroded components, or has a tank showing signs of failure, replacement is the more economical long-term choice. Magnet Plumbing gives you an honest assessment.
Water heater leaks in Alton homes can come from the pressure relief valve releasing due to over-pressure or temperature, loose inlet or outlet connections, a corroded drain valve, or — most seriously — a crack in the tank itself. Tank leaks typically mean the unit needs replacement. Magnet Plumbing inspects the source of the leak and advises on repair vs. replacement.
Rusty or discolored hot water in a Alton home usually indicates an anode rod that has been depleted and the tank is beginning to corrode internally. In some cases it is sediment stirring from the tank bottom. If the unit is over 8 to 10 years old and producing rust-colored water, tank replacement is often the recommended solution.

"Our 1970s galvanized pipes were failing one joint at a time. Got three bids on a whole-house repipe and these guys were competitive on price and had the best timeline. Seven days start to finish, minimal drywall damage, and water pressure is dramatically better throughout the house. Worth every dollar."
