HOT WATER TANK REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT
If you’re experiencing issues with your hot water tank, there are several telltale signs that indicate it’s time to call in the professionals at Three Way Plumbing.
One of the most common problems is a lack of hot water, or water that doesn’t seem to stay hot for as long as it used to. This could be due to a faulty heating element, sediment buildup, or a malfunctioning thermostat.
Another sign of trouble is leaking from your water tank. If you notice water pooling around the base of the tank or dripping from the pipes, it’s crucial to address the issue promptly. Leaks can cause significant damage to your home and lead to higher utility bills if left unchecked.
Either way, these aren’t issues you’ll want to handle on your own. You’ll want the professional hot water heater service from Three Way Plumbing.

HOW DOES A TANKLESS WATER HEATER WORK?
Rather than storing 40 gallons or more of hot water 24/7, tankless units heat water on demand. Powerful gas burners or electric elements achieve the necessary temperature rise within seconds, sending hot water to the tap right when you need it.
Tankless water heating offers many benefits, including:
- Endless hot water supply
- Substantially lower water heating bills
- Lower risk of home flooding from a holding tank corroding through and leaking
- Double the life span of old tank-style water heaters since there’s no standing water
- Smaller installation space required
- Can be installed inside the home, outside the home, in garages, and in attics
- Highly efficient, great for the environment, and prevents the buildup of tanks in landfills

Frequently Asked Questions
HOW LONG DO WATER HEATERS LAST?
When talking about traditional tank-style water heaters, there’s no definite answer due to many different factors that affect the life span of a water heater. The average life span is 10 to 15 years. We’ve seen many fail at six years, and we’ve also seen rare ones as old as 20.
Some of the factors include water pressure and water quality – chlorine levels needed to kill bacteria in your water supply, naturally occurring minerals, and sediment in the water supply, and have you had a continuously working thermal expansion tank.
Annual maintenance flushing of your water heater is recommended to remove the buildup of sediment and minerals from your tank to prevent the corrosion that occurs with tank water heaters from the inside out.
In most cases, a lack of maintenance is what causes water leaks so it’s important that a professional comes out and drains the water heater once per year to flush out the sediment buildup from your tank. However, if your tank hot water heater has not been flushed previously within the last 5 years, we do not recommend doing so. The sediment that has built up inside the tank may actually be what is sealing those tiny pinholes, and we have seen where once they are flushed out, the tank will leak. For a tankless water heater, it is recommended every other year as minerals can begin to build up on the components that the water touches like the heat exchanger.
DO I NEED MULTIPLE WATER HEATERS IN MY HOME?
If sized properly for usage and gallons per minute used in your home, most homes don’t need more than one water heater. However, sometimes it’s beneficial under certain circumstances to have two water heaters rather than one large one.
ARE TANKLESS WATER HEATERS GAS OR ELECTRIC?
There are tankless water heaters that perform with natural gas, propane, or electricity. There are point-of-use tankless water heaters and whole-house tankless water heaters. They come in different makes, models, and sizes to accommodate many different applications. They’re not one size fits all.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT SIZES OF TANK WATER HEATERS?
There are many different sizes of water heaters when it comes to height, width, and circumference to accommodate different installations, like in a closet, garage, utility room, attic, or aqua hut, as well as different capacity sizes ranging from 28 to 100 gallons.
No one ever wants to run out of hot water when showering, so it’s important to understand usage and demand needed for demand times when it comes to gallons per minute.
Other considerations are tub sizes, multiple showerheads, body sprayers in showers, and the number of dishwashers or washing machines in the home, along with the number of full bathrooms and people living in the home showering/bathing, especially during maximum capacity times like holidays.
