Expert Repair for All Water Heater Problems
Nothing disrupts your day like a cold shower. When your water heater fails, you need a fast, reliable expert you can trust. Our licensed technicians are equipped to solve any water heater issue and diagnose the root cause to get your hot water back on.
Common Water Heater Problems We Fix:
No Hot Water: The most common call. Could be a faulty pilot light, bad thermocouple, failed heating element, or gas valve issue.
Lukewarm Water: Often caused by a broken dip tube, malfunctioning thermostat, or sediment buildup insulating the burner from the water.
Leaking Water Heater: A leak from a fitting or valve can often be repaired. However, if your tank itself is leaking, it cannot be fixed and requires immediate replacement.
Strange Noises (Popping/Rumbling): The sound of water trapped under a layer of baked-on sediment being forced to boil. A professional flush is needed.
Smelly or Discolored Water: Rusty water indicates tank corrosion. A "rotten egg" smell is often caused by bacteria reacting with the anode rod.
Annual Maintenance Importance: Combating hard water, preventing corrosion, and ensuring safety are critical for Addison homes.

Detailed Maintenance for Every Type of Water Heater
Your system's needs depend on its technology. We are certified to service them all—traditional tank, modern tankless, and high-efficiency hybrid models.
Traditional Tank Water Heater
Our most common service. The goal is to fight corrosion and sediment caused by Addison's hard water.
At Principle Plumbing, we provide comprehensive tank water heater maintenance to extend its life and restore efficiency.
OUR TANK MAINTENANCE PROCESS:
- Full Tank Flush: We drain the tank completely to flush out the damaging mineral sediment that has accumulated, restoring efficiency and quieting a noisy tank.
- Anode Rod Inspection & Replacement: We check the "sacrificial" anode rod. If it's nearly depleted, we recommend a replacement to add years to your water heater's life.
- T&P Valve Test: We test the Temperature and Pressure relief valve to ensure this critical safety device is not seized and will function properly.
- Full System Inspection: We check the thermostat, pilot assembly, gas connections, and venting for safe and proper operation.
Proactive maintenance is the single best way to extend the life of your water heater, improve efficiency, and prevent a catastrophic failure.
Tankless & Hybrid Water Heaters
Modern tankless and hybrid heat pump water heaters require specific care to maintain their high efficiency and performance.
We are certified to service all makes and models, including Navien, Rinnai, Rheem, and Bradford White.
TANKLESS WATER HEATER MAINTENANCE:
- System Descaling (Flushing): We isolate the unit and circulate a special descaling solution through the heat exchanger, dissolving hard water minerals that restrict flow and reduce heating performance.
- Inlet Filter Cleaning: We clean the small screen on the water inlet to remove debris and ensure strong, steady flow rate.
- Burner and Fan Inspection: We check the combustion chamber and fan for any blockages or signs of wear.
HYBRID (HEAT PUMP) MAINTENANCE:
- Air Filter Cleaning: We clean the air filter on top of the unit. A clogged filter restricts airflow and is the #1 cause of reduced efficiency.
- Condensate Drain Inspection: We ensure the condensate drain line is clear and flowing freely to prevent water backup.
- Coil and Fan Inspection: We check the evaporator coils and fan for any dust or debris buildup.

Fast Response When Your Hot Water Fails
At Principle Plumbing, we understand that a water heater failure is an emergency. Whether you have no hot water, a leaking tank, or strange noises, our licensed technicians respond quickly with fully stocked trucks carrying the parts needed for most common repairs. We can often solve your problem in a single visit. From faulty pilot lights and thermocouples to failed heating elements and gas valve issues, we diagnose the root cause accurately and restore your hot water fast.

Professional Maintenance for Maximum Performance
Proactive maintenance is the single best way to extend the life of your water heater, improve efficiency, and prevent catastrophic failure. This is especially important in Addison because our local hard water is rich in mineral deposits that form sediment, force your burner to work harder, and cause the popping and rumbling noises you might hear. Our certified technicians perform comprehensive maintenance on all water heater types—traditional tank, tankless, and hybrid heat pump models. We flush tanks, inspect and replace anode rods, test T&P valves, descale tankless units, and clean hybrid air filters to keep your system running at peak efficiency.

We believe you deserve to know exactly what a repair or maintenance service will cost before we begin work. That's why we provide clear, upfront, flat-rate pricing with no surprises or hidden fees. Our local Addison experts understand the challenges of hard water and provide solutions that last. We're certified and insured to service all makes and models including Rheem, Bradford White, A.O. Smith, Navien, and Rinnai. Whether you need a simple repair or are wondering if your 12-year-old water heater is worth fixing, we'll provide honest advice and transparent pricing to help you make the best decision for your home and budget.
