Water Heater Repair Across the GTA
No hot water, not enough hot water, or water where it should not be. We diagnose tank and tankless, gas and electric, and we tell you plainly when a repair is only postponing a replacement.
Water Heater Faults We Fix
No hot water at all
On gas, the gas valve, thermocouple or igniter and pilot assembly. On electric, the elements and thermostats. Most of these finish in one visit because the parts are on the truck.
Hot water runs out too fast
Very often a broken dip tube letting cold water mix straight into the outlet, which is an inexpensive part with a dramatic effect. Otherwise sediment occupying the bottom of the tank, or a failed lower element.
Rumbling or popping from the tank
Sediment on the burner plate, and water boiling underneath it. We drain and flush, then check the anode while we are in there. Common across the harder-water parts of the GTA.
Water dripping from a pipe beside the tank
That is the temperature and pressure relief valve venting, which is a symptom rather than a fault. Something is driving pressure or temperature past the limit, and we find out what instead of capping the valve.
Leaking from the tank shell
Once the glass lining fails the tank is finished, and no repair changes that. We separate a genuine shell rupture from a valve or fitting leak before recommending replacement.
Tankless unit locking out with an error code
We read the code rather than resetting it. Ignition faults, flame loss, exhaust blockage and scale in the heat exchanger all lock out and all need different work.
Cold water sandwich on a tankless
Hot, then cold, then hot. Usually a failing flow sensor or a scaled heat exchanger that cannot modulate. Both are repairable.
Smelly or discoloured hot water
Anode rod reaction or sediment. We replace the rod with an appropriate alloy and flush the tank, which resolves most cases.

Water Heater Repair FAQs
How much does water heater repair cost?
Most repairs land between $150 and $450. A thermocouple or dip tube is at the low end, elements $200 to $300, an anode rod around $200. Tankless descaling and sensor work sit a little higher. We quote flat-rate before starting and the price does not change for evenings or weekends.
My water heater is leaking. What should I do right now?
Shut off the gas or the breaker, close the cold water inlet valve on top of the tank, and call us. If the water is coming from the shell rather than a fitting, the tank is finished and needs replacing rather than repairing. We can usually do a same-day swap.
Is my water heater rented or owned?
Worth establishing before anyone charges you. Look for a rental provider sticker on the tank and a monthly rental line on your utility bill. If it is rented, the provider is contractually responsible for repairs and you should not be paying us for their obligation. We confirm ownership on arrival and tell you if that is the situation.
Do you repair tankless units?
Yes, including Navien, Rinnai, Noritz and Bosch. Tankless repair is a different job from tank repair: the common issues are scale in the heat exchanger, flow sensors and ignition faults. Descaling is genuine maintenance on these units rather than an optional extra, particularly in hard-water areas.
Is it worth repairing an older tank?
Under eight years old with a repair below about a third of replacement cost, repair is usually good value. Past twelve years the anode is long gone and the lining is the only thing protecting the shell, so we will tell you honestly when a cheap part is only buying you a season.
Do you handle gas water heaters?
Yes. All our technicians hold TSSA G1 or G2 gas tickets, so gas valves, thermocouples, venting and combustion are all in scope. If your furnace was recently replaced with a high-efficiency unit, ask us about the chimney, because an orphaned water heater on an oversized flue is a common and expensive follow-on problem.
