Water heater repair may be needed when you find that water has stopped running out of your water heater, water is leaking from it or it is making strange noises. In most cases, the water heater will need to be removed from the wall and placed on a workbench to have access to the water lines. A water heater repair will require replacing water lines, water heaters, or water lines in some instances. Depending upon your unit, here are some steps for performing a professional-level water heater repair:

To get started with repairing your own hot-water tank follow these simple steps:

Turn off the power supply at the main panel or circuit breaker. This should be a water heater circuit if it is the only water-using appliance on that circuit. If there are other appliances, turn them off as well.

Turn water supply valve to water heater all the way till it stops and closes nearby hot water faucets. This will prevent spillage or water loss as you work. Also, drain water from the water heater by opening a nearby hot water faucet that has a smaller diameter than your home’s main cold water line.

Inspect existing pipes and fittings around the water heater for signs of leakage and corrosion. Replace faulty components with the same type and size of piping and pipe fitting before starting a new installation. Measure distance between nipples on water lines, measure voltage required for heating element (if electric), etc., before purchasing a water heater, water lines, and pipe fittings.

Water heaters are typically either gas or electric powered. Both types use similar methods for producing hot water.

Check water lines leading into the water heater for corrosion, leaks at connections. It is especially important to inspect lines coming in from a cold water supply which usually has a threaded connection or compression fitting using two different wrenches or pliers. If you find any issues with your existing water lines, replace the corroded sections before proceeding with water heater repair. Be sure to thoroughly clean out all debris left behind by old pipes before installing new ones.

If you are facing water heating issues with an electric water heater, confirm that the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is working or has power. If your water heater is equipped with a GFCI (look for the reset button on the front of the water heater), press the reset button to make sure it’s working properly. If the water heater did not have GFCI, install one or call an electrician.

Once all these preliminary steps are done you can start repairing water lines leading into the water heater. Remove any screws securing the water line at water inlet and outlet on the water heater. Pull out both hot and cold water lines from the water heater before loosening compression nuts on fittings by turning them counterclockwise using an adjustable wrench or pair of pliers.
