Water Heater Repair questions in Puyallup
It depends on the age of the tank and what failed. A bad thermostat, element or valve on a younger Puyallup tank is usually worth repairing. A leak from the tank body is not. After the $49 diagnostic, waived when you approve the repair, we tell you honestly which choice makes sense.
Here is what is typical once we are on site. Diagnosis: up to 1 hour typical. Common part repair: 1 to 2 hours typical. Puyallup is about 10 minutes from our base via SR 512 east. 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.
