Water Heater Repair questions in Federal Way
Water under the tank comes from either a leaking fitting or valve, which can be fixed, or a rusted-through tank, which cannot. In Federal Way, we dry the area, find the source and tell you which it is. If the tank itself is leaking, we explain replacement options and the price first.
Here is what is typical once we are on site. Diagnosis: up to 1 hour typical. Common part repair: 1 to 2 hours typical. Federal Way is about 25 minutes from our base via I-5 north. We confirm timing with you when you book.
On a gas tank, the pilot, igniter or flame sensor is the most common cause. On an electric tank, it is often a tripped reset button or a burned-out element. Check that the gas valve is on or the breaker is not tripped, then call us if it still will not heat.
