Common Hot Water Issues in Mount Martha
No Hot Water
A complete loss of hot water in Mount Martha homes can be caused by a faulty thermostat, broken heating element, gas supply issues, or a failed pilot light. Our team diagnoses and repairs the issue fast.
Leaking Hot Water System
A leaking hot water unit can cause significant water damage if not addressed quickly. Common causes include a failed temperature and pressure relief valve, corroded tank, or worn inlet/outlet connections.
Inconsistent Water Temperature
If your hot water temperature fluctuates between hot and cold, you may have a faulty tempering valve, sediment build-up in the tank, or an undersized system for your household demand.
Expert Insight
"When Mount Martha homeowners call about hot water issues, we always check the age of the system first. Most hot water systems last 8-12 years. If yours is older, a replacement with a modern energy-efficient model often works out cheaper than repeated repairs."
