Repair & Maintenance

Old heaters may experience wear and tear over time, and certain parts can cause problems. For example, if it is a heater with a tank, the tank may rust over time and start leaking, or the heating element may malfunction, leading to either too hot or too cold water.

Whether you have a gas, electric, or tankless heater, our regular maintenance and repair services ensure your unit lasts longer and save you from needing to replace it earlier than anticipated. Here are some maintenance services that help ensure a longer lifespan for your household appliance:

  • Tank Drainage or Flushing: Sediment build-up is normal in tanks over time, which can cause your unit to work harder than it has to. We drain or flush your tank to ensure it's clean from this build-up and running optimally.
  • Insulation: An insulated tank retains the heat for much longer, ensuring your unit doesn’t work as hard. Insulation helps reduce energy bills. We regularly perform water heater insulation for our residential and commercial clients.
  • Leak Repair: Suppose you see any water buildup under your unit or surrounding walls. In that case, it is a good idea to call a local specialist in the greater Seattle or Eastside area to inspect the leak and repair it as soon as possible.

Our expert team can identify and repair residential and commercial heating appliances to ensure safe temperatures. Water hotter than 125 Fahrenheit may cause severe burns so it is always a good idea to engage a water heater maintenance service like Ben’s Plumbing to ensure your energy bills and safety are in check.

Our expert, trained, and insured plumbers can repair and replace worn-out parts to ensure your hot water is running at optimal temperatures and you are not falling victim to raised energy bills due to a faulty component.

Replacement

  • For perspective, your water heater usage is a significant part of your energy bill, 25% of every energy dollar. This is why replacing an old unit that does not function efficiently and quickly is essential.
  • Most heaters last 10-15 years. After this period, repairing becomes too costly due to regular issues, and it is best to opt for a water heater replacement to save money on expensive repairs and heightened energy bills.
  • Since 1995, we have provided water heater replacement solutions to residential and commercial properties in greater Seattle and Eastside communities.
  • Our team has experience working with all brands and models of heaters, whether you choose a gas, electric, or tankless heater.

Tankless Water Heater

A tankless heater is an excellent option if you are looking for an energy-efficient and space-saving water heating solution. Tankless water heater installation is different from installing traditional heaters.

There are several factors to consider depending on whether you choose a gas or an electric option. Our experienced plumbers and technicians have over two decades of experience installing, repairing, and replacing tankless heaters with proper plumbing and electrical work.

Gas water heater icon, icon Ben's Plumbing
Gas Water Heater

Gas heaters are great for homes and commercial buildings with high water demands because they heat faster than their electrical counterparts. Ben’s Plumbing offers comprehensive gas water heater services, including installation, repair, and replacement services.

Gas heating devices require extensive venting to expel combustion gasses, which needs expert attention during repair and installation. Our team of plumbers is experienced in the installation and plumbing issues related to gas water heaters.

Electric water heater icon, icon Ben's Plumbing
Electric Water Heater

Electric heaters are popular where natural gas reserves are limited, and they retain heat better than gas models due to no venting. Critical attention to electrical and plumbing components is required for installation, repair, and replacement. Since 1995, we have installed, repaired, and replaced electric heating devices for our residential and commercial clients with accuracy and expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to service a water heater?

Property owners should consider several important factors to ensure their equipment operate efficiently, safely, and reliably. First, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and guidelines for maintenance tasks, service internals, and safety precautions. Property owners should pay attention to the overall performance of the water heater, including heating efficiency, temperature consistency, and any unusual noises or odors.

Often, the best way to service a water heater is to hire professional maintenance by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician—the specialists at Ben’s Plumbing can inspect the equipment, perform necessary adjustments, clean components, and identify potential issues before they escalate to major or costly problems for the property owner.

Ben’s Plumbing will take the necessary steps to ensure your water heater unit’s efficiency, safety, and longevity for years to come.

How to repair a water heater?

Repairs require the skills of an expert. The type of repair needed depends on the specific issue and style of the property’s water heater (gas or electric). Professionals will follow the proper safety precautions and manufacturer guidelines throughout the repair process to prevent accidents, injuries, or damages to the unit while investigating what the issue might be. Problems often include no hot water, inadequate, leaks, strange noises, or pilot light issues (gas heaters).

If you’re a property owner unsure about performing repairs, or if the issue persists after attempted repairs, it’s best to seek professional help. Ben’s Plumbing provides licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians who will identify the problem’s nature, inspect various components, and repair or replace faulty parts.

How much is heater repair?

The cost of repairing depends on several factors, such as the extent of the damage, the type of device, the severity and complexity of the problem, the location and accessibility of the unit, the age and condition of the water heater, the cost of the replacement parts, and labor costs for repair services.

If you’re a property owner, it’s best to consult licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians who can identify the specific issues with your household appliance and provide detailed cost estimates for repair or replacement.

At Ben’s Plumbing, our experts can help you compare the cost of repairs against the appliance’s age, condition, and expected lifespan. This way, you can make an informed decision about whether to repair or replace the unit.

How often should I service my appliance?

Property owners could help ensure their equipment operates efficiently, safely, and reliably for years, following the manufacturer’s recommendations and guidelines for maintenance tasks, internal service, and safety precautions. When taken care of, conventional tank heaters can last 10 to 15 years, and tankless (on-demand) heaters may last 15 to 20 years.

How home and business owners care for their water tank can influence the unit’s longevity—conducting periodic visual inspections and checking for signs of leaks, corrosion, damage, water puddles, rust spots, or unusual noise. Any of the above could indicate a problem with your tank.

If you see anything that doesn’t look right, seek the assistance of a professional licensed plumber or HVAC technician immediately, as they’re able to perform a comprehensive inspection and cleaning of your unit to diagnose potential issues with a water heater before they escalate into significant problems.

Scheduling regular water heater maintenance services with Ben’s Plumbing will ensure your unit runs efficiently and there is no energy wastage. Routine maintenance and addressing potential urgent issues will prolong the lifespan, keeping your system in optimal condition and minimizing the risk of unexpected breakdowns.

"I hired Ben's to take care of the plumbing for two bathroom fluffs in our home - the first visit involved removing the old faucets and the second visit was to install new faucets and a (tricky) Kohler Reach toilet. I can't remember the first plumber's name, but Nick did the installs and they were both great to work with"

As an owner of a 100+ year old house, I'm well acquainted with plumbers. Ben Foster is the best. Great communication from his office, and he offered to come over the same day when I called because my description of the problem made it sound like an emergency (it wasn't). He showed up at the agreed upon time, and efficiently handled the faucet repair. He also let me know that the original sink stopper mechanism (my term, not his) was much higher value that the replacement I had purchased, recommended I retain it, and told me he would make the original work. Ben is friendly and professional and was a joy to work with.

We've used Ben's Plumbing for the last ten years or so. Some times it's been for planned work as part of a remodel and several times they've been for emergencies like a burst water tank. Each interaction has been very positive - good communication, thorough follow-through, personal service, and trustworthy. It's great to have a local company that's been so responsive and reliable over the years. (Including this morning's unexpected call for help!) Thank you!
