There’s nothing worse than paying for a repair only to have your system die shortly after. Sometimes trusted appliances reach the end their functional capacity unexpectedly. If a repair leads to replacement within one year, Sadie members can use the cost of a repair as credit towards new equipment up to $2,500, saving you the cost of most common repairs completely. Additionally, for each month of your Sadie membership, $10 accrues as a credit towards any future new equipment purchases.*

Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair

Changing Water Temperatures

Austin’s volatile weather and hard water can wreak havoc on your water heater, leading to sediment buildup that coats the heating element and leaves you with fluctuating water temperatures. Regular maintenance, such as water heater flushes, can help your water heater stay clean and reliable.

Water Discoloration

Rusty or discolored water can come from corrosion inside your water tank or sediment accumulation. Austin’s water conditions can accelerate this process, leading to poor water clarity and taste – even health hazards. If you notice discoloration, contact Goettl for an inspection to ensure your water supply is safe.

Lack of Hot Water

If your hot water isn’t lasting as long as it used to, it could be caused by a malfunctioning heating element, a failing thermocouple, a faulty gas control valve, or a broken dip tube. If you use your hot water a lot, you may notice these issues more. Our team can diagnose and fix your water heater and ensure you enjoy a steady stream of hot water.

Strange Noises Like Banging, Popping, or Rumbling

Water heaters make noise during operation, but loud popping, rumbling, or banging sounds are a cause for concern. This may be caused by sediment buildup, which cause steam buildup and popping bubbles. Underground leaks can also make noise that sounds like running water, even if you’re not using your plumbing, as well as malfunctioning components.

If you have a malfunctioning pressure relief valve or building pressure inside your tank, it can cause whining or humming sounds and a potentially hazardous situation. Pressure can cause your tank to explode or leak, so make sure you address this problem as soon as possible.

Leaks or Bursts

Water heater leaks can happen if you have too much corrosion or sediment in your tank, loose plumbing fittings, or a failing pressure relief valve. You shouldn’t ignore leaks, because they can cause water damage, a lot of water waste, and possible health hazards from mold and mildew.

Thermostat Issues

The thermostat controls the temperature of your water heater’s water supply. If you’re experiencing fluctuating temperatures or cold water when you’re expecting hot, a malfunctioning thermostat may be the culprit. Our experts can recalibrate or replace it to ensure your water is the right temperature.

Pilot Light Issues

A pilot light that won’t stay lit or won’t ignite can be caused by venting issues, gas supply problems, or a failing thermocouple. Our technicians can inspect these components and perform any repairs to ensure it operates safely.

Gas Control Valve Malfunction

Your wáter heater’s gas control valve regulates the flow of gas to the burner. If it fails, you can have inconsistent heating or cold water. If you’re having problems with your water heater’s heating, contact us to inspect, repair, or replace the control valve.

Two Water Heaters!

Water Heater Replacement

Matt, the tech at Goettl, was proficient at providing us a free estimate of two new water heaters. He analyzed our kitchen and bathrooms to make sure these water heaters could handle our demand. And in future both water heaters will be handling a big household demand. We are very happy we chose Goettl.

See You Next Year!

Water Heater Maintenance

Called Goettl. They sent Tib and he was great. He adjusted the shutoff under a sink to get rid of a noisy tap. He took the time to explain how it’s important to flush the water heater tank rather than just drain it. He and the team answered all my questions. This 10-year old water tank got a clean bill of health – we’re good until next year.

YouTube Was No Help

Water Heater Repair Call

Brent was here today to take a look at my water heater. Will had done a great job with install along with the HVAC crew. Yesterday, something set off my flood stop, and my pilot light went out. Brent arrived to help me fix what google and YouTube couldn't explain. I am super grateful for all the staff. You have helped so much over there. Thank you!

Super Informative!

Water Heater Replacement

We are extremely happy that Wil came to our home today. He was very professional and thorough. Super informative. Educated us on the problems with our older tankless water heater. Geottl will be installing a traditional water tank for us next week. And we will be requesting Wil every time we choose Goettl going forward.

I Love The Sadie Plan!

Water Heater Rejuuuvenation

I love the Sadie plan! It allows me to make sure regular maintenance is being done on my AC and plumbing to avoid surprises and costly repairs! Most recently, Matt came out for one of our regular plumbing check-ups. He flushed my water heater to remove the sediment and made sure all my lines were clear. I would highly recommend Goettl!

Everything In A Day

Tankless Water Heater

Brent was awesome from the beginning through the end of my new attic water heater installation. He explained everything about the job and helped me make the best decision for me with no pressure involved. Had the estimate one day, installation the very next. Thanks for doing such a great job. Left my home clean, no damage. Thanks!

Best Service Plan Yet!

Water Heater Rejuuuvenation

Goettl’s plumber Blaine was a fantastic professional for our preventative services check. Throughout the process, he let me know what he would be doing and the status of our water heater, answering any questions we had. I have seen what other companies call a preventative service plan. I definitely recommend Goettl.

Clear Explanations!

Water Heater Repair Call

Our entire experience with Goettl was wonderful. Brent came out to our house for a leaking expansion tank on our water heater and a quote for a water softener system. He clearly explained everything in detail to me and I felt comfortable scheduling further service. The entire process went smoothly and was fairly priced. Thanks Goettl!

Seamless And Effortless

Water Heater Installation (2)

Wil and the rest of the Goettle crew (Blane, Daniel) did an outstanding job on installation of two new water heaters, a water softener, and a pressure relief valve. Fast, left the site clean and everything operates as expected! Best plumbing service yet! Goettle made it all go seamless; all paperwork done digitally, excellent payment terms as well.

3rd Time Using Goettl

Water Heater Rejuuuvenation

I've used Goettl's services this year for the 3rd time. Twice for HVAC, and once for the water heater. I had different technicians every time, but they were all very helpful and willing to answer any questions I asked. The last technician, Wil, was another outstanding technician. He answered all the questions I asked and I really appreciate that.

Appreciate Goettl Team

Water HEATER INSTALLATION

We had two new water heaters, a water purification system and a new PRV installed – yeah, it was a lot of work. The team (Richard, Brent, Wil, Wyatt, Blaine, and Andy) were knowledgeable, friendly and took the time to walk me through everything – found a few things along the way. I appreciated their honesty and professionalism.
