Repair Services for Your Water Heater
Your water heater works hard every single day to keep you and your family comfortable, whether you’re washing dishes, taking a shower, or doing laundry. So when something goes wrong with your water heater, it can throw your whole routine off track.
At RJ Plumbing Services LLC, we understand how important reliable hot water is to your daily life, and we’re here to help keep it flowing smoothly with expert repair services.
Common Water Heater Issues & Repairs
Water Isn’t Hot Enough (or Runs Out Too Quickly)
This often happens when one of the heating elements in your water heater fails. These elements heat your water day after day, and eventually they wear out.
How it’s repaired: Replacing a heating element is usually a quick repair that can have your hot water back to normal in no time.
Strange Noises
Rumbling, popping, or cracking sounds are usually caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of your tank. As water heats up, it has to work its way through this layer of minerals, creating those unsettling noises.
How it’s repaired: The fix is often a thorough tank flush, where we drain your water heater and clear out the sediment. Regular flushing can prevent this buildup and help your water heater last longer.
Leaks
Leaks are probably the most worrying issue we’ve heard from Clark County homeowners, and rightfully so.
How it’s repaired: Small leaks from the pressure relief valve or drain valve can often be fixed by replacing these inexpensive parts. However, if water is pooling around the base of your tank, this usually indicates the tank itself is failing. We can help you quickly transition to a new water heater to minimize any water damage to your home.
Rusty or Odd-Smelling Water
Water that looks rusty or has an odd smell tells us there’s likely corrosion happening inside your tank. Water heaters have something called an anode rod, which is designed to attract corrosive elements and protect the tank itself. When this rod wears out completely, corrosion starts attacking your tank.
How it’s repaired: Replacing the anode rod every few years is a simple maintenance task that can add years to your water heater’s life.
Water Heater Keeps Shutting Off (or Won’t Stay On)
This problem often lies with the thermocouple on gas models or the thermostat on electric ones. These safety devices make sure your water heater operates properly, but they can fail over time.
How it’s repaired: Our technicians carry these common parts on our trucks, so we can often complete these repairs in a single visit.

FAQs
When do I need a repair vs a replacement?
As a general rule, if your water heater is less than eight years old and the repair costs less than half the price of a new unit, repair usually makes sense. Small issues like a faulty thermostat or heating element can often be fixed quickly and affordably.
However, some signs point toward replacement being the smarter choice. If your water heater is over ten years old and starting to have frequent problems, it might be time for a new one.
Rust-colored water, major leaks around the base of the tank, or constantly running out of hot water are all signs that your water heater has reached the end of its useful life.
Should I have a tank or tankless system?
If you’re getting a new heater, choosing between a tank and a tankless system depends on your specific needs and budget.
Traditional tank water heaters have been keeping homes comfortable for decades. These units store and heat water in a large tank, usually holding between 30 and 80 gallons. They’re reliable, affordable to install, and can provide hot water for multiple uses at once. Traditional tanks cost less to install, but may have higher operating costs.
Tankless water heaters work differently. Instead of storing hot water, they heat it on demand as it flows through the unit. This means you never run out of hot water, no matter how many showers your family takes. Tankless units cost more upfront, but can save money over time through energy savings and longer lifespans.
Our team helps you understand the pros and cons of each option based on your family’s hot water usage, your home’s layout, and your budget.
