WATER HEATER LEAKING IN YOUR CHANDLER HOME

OCT 08, 2015

Are you dealing with a leaking water heater? It can be frustrating trying to deal with these types of situations, but the key is to keep a level head and figure out what steps you can take to remedy the leak.

A proper diagnoses might just save you from replacing your water heater when it isn’t really needed. We’ve come up with a few key things to check out if your water heater is leaking in your Chandler, AZ home.

Is it the Pipes?

Your hot water heater will be connected to a hot and cold water pipe. The cold water comes in, gets heated and then goes out the hot water pipe. If the issue is a leaking pipe, that’s a good sign. It probably means you won’t have to replace your water heater. It may just require resealing the pipe connections or replacing a section of pipe.

If you are unsure how to go about this task, give Donley Service Center a call at 602-870-6840. We have a fully-staffed plumbing department that will handle all of your needs.

Does the Tank Have a Leak?

When the tank of your water heater is leaking, the only option is replacement. Here in the Chandler area, the municipal water is considered “hard.” Hard water has a higher mineral content than soft water and will corrode the tank over time. In fact, the average lifespan for a hot water heater is about eight years.

If your water heater has reached this point and you are noticing a small or large leak, it’s time to have it replaced. Donley Service Center can help you. We’ll install a new reliable and efficient water heater and get rid of the old one. Call 602-870-6840 to schedule an installation.
