Leaking hot water heater? We’re here to help.
We recently received a call from a distressed older customer at Rosehill in Western Sydney whose old electric hot water system had started leaking very badly. One of our hot water specialist was close by, finishing up a job in Silverwater, so was able to attend to the customer’s job within the hour.
It is always a concern when a water heater starts leaking – particularly when the hot water system is located inside the home, as was the case with this customer. Our large network of hot water specialists dotted throughout Sydney means we can offer a fast, emergency service to customers in all suburbs.
NOTE: If your water heater is leaking, contact us for emergency advice on 0410 693 532. Over the phone, we can instruct you on how to turn off the water supply to the hot water system to prevent water from causing damage to your property (or a neighbour’s property) until we’re able to arrive onsite and fix the problem.
The hot water heater storage tank had corroded and cracked.
Once onsite, we assessed whether the hot water heater was able to be fixed. Unfortunately, it was extremely old and beyond economical repair. Over time, the internal storage tank had corroded due to minerals in the water which led to a significent crack where the water was leaking from.
Early detection of hot water tank corrosion can prevent leaks from occurring. We recommend that our customers get their hot water heater serviced every 5 years to detect and rectify problems before they lead to catastrophic breakdown or a burst hot water heater. To book a hot water service, call or text us on 0410 693 532 to reserve a time. A hot water service typically only takes 45 minutes and is a small price to pay for trouble-free hot water.
We replaced the old hot water heater with a larger one.
Before replacing the hot water heater with a new one, we asked the customer whether her hot water usage had changed (and may change in the future) and whether she ever ran out of hot water. The old water heater had a small 80 litre tank. She mentioned that she was minding her grandchildren regularly and, when they came to stay, she often ran out of hot water. We discussed the option of upgrading to a larger storage tank and she opted to install a robust Vulcan hot water system with a 125 litre storage capacity. Vulcan hot water systems come with a 10 year warranty which gave her further peace of mind.
And finally, we tidied up the mess and took away her old hot water system for recycling.
