A water heater can stop working properly for many reasons, and replacing the entire unit isn’t always necessary. Our water heater repair service begins with diagnosing the actual source of the problem so we can determine which components need attention.
We work on traditional tank-style water heaters and troubleshoot problems affecting heating performance, water temperature, gas or electrical components, valves, and other parts of the system. After evaluating the unit, we’ll explain the problem and recommend an appropriate repair based on the water heater’s condition.
Common water heater problems we repair include:
A gas water heater relies on several components working together to safely heat and store hot water. Problems with the pilot assembly, gas control valve, burner, thermocouple or thermopile, thermostat, or venting system can prevent the unit from operating correctly.
Our gas water heater repair service includes diagnosing the source of the problem rather than simply replacing parts based on symptoms. If you need gas hot water heater repair, Sequoia Plumbing & Mechanical can inspect the system and determine the appropriate repair.
Common gas water heater issues include:
Because gas water heaters involve fuel and combustion, problems involving suspected gas leaks or combustion safety should be treated seriously.
Electric water heaters typically use one or more heating elements controlled by thermostats to maintain the desired water temperature. A failed heating element, thermostat, electrical connection, or other component can leave the home with lukewarm water, limited hot water, or no hot water at all.
Our electric water heater repair service identifies which part of the system is causing the problem and whether repairing the existing unit makes practical sense. We can service electric tank water heaters throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and restore proper operation when repair is appropriate.
Typical electric water heater problems include:
Not every malfunction means you need a new water heater. If the unit is relatively young and the problem involves a serviceable component, repairing it may be the most practical option. Replacement may make more sense when the tank itself is leaking, the water heater is approaching the end of its expected service life, repairs are becoming frequent, or the cost of restoring an older unit is difficult to justify.
Sequoia Plumbing & Mechanical can inspect your existing system and explain your repair and replacement options so you can make an informed decision.
We typically consider:
If replacement is the better option, you can explore Sequoia’s complete water heater services for available solutions.

Our tankless water heater suddenly stopped producing hot water, and they came out the same day. The technician diagnosed the issue quickly, made the repair, and had everything working again in no time. Excellent service!

We finally had a water softener installed, and the difference is amazing. Our water feels so much softer, and we've already noticed less buildup on our fixtures. The installation was quick and professional.
Many problems involving thermostats, heating elements, ignition components, valves, and other serviceable parts can potentially be repaired. A leaking tank or severely deteriorated older unit may make replacement the more practical choice, so the water heater should be inspected before deciding.
For a gas unit, the cause could involve the ignition system, pilot assembly, gas control, burner, or another component. An electric unit may have a failed heating element, thermostat, electrical connection, or power-supply problem. Professional diagnosis can identify the actual cause.
