Water Heater Leaking? What to Do First

A leaking hot water tank can flood a basement fast. Take these steps while our technician is on the way.

01

Turn Off the Power or Gas

Electric: switch off the breaker. Gas: turn the control knob to "Off" or "Pilot".

02

Close the Cold-Water Valve

It's on the pipe at the top of the tank. This stops more water from filling it.

03

Smell Gas? Leave Now

Get everyone outside and call Enbridge Gas at 1-866-763-5427 from outside.

04

CO Alarm Going Off?

Leave the home right away and call 911 from outside.

Water Heater Repair Vaughan: Common Problems We Fix

Searching for water heater repair near me? Most hot water heater repair calls in Vaughan come down to a handful of problems. We diagnose the cause on the first visit and tell you whether a repair is worth it before any work starts.

Book a Repair

No Hot Water

Usually a failed element, thermostat, gas valve or igniter.

Hot Water Runs Out Fast

Sediment buildup, a broken dip tube or a tank that's too small for your household.

Water Heater Leaking

Loose fittings, a failing T&P valve, or a tank that has rusted through.

Pilot Light Won't Stay Lit

A dirty or failed thermocouple, a draft, or a gas supply issue.

Rumbling or Popping Noises

Sediment at the bottom of the tank. A flush often fixes it.

Rusty or Smelly Water

A worn anode rod or bacteria growing in the tank.

Water Heater Replacement

Repair or Replace Your Hot Water Tank?

Not every problem means a hot water tank replacement. Here's how we help you decide.

Repair makes sense when…

  • The tank is under about 10 years old
  • The leak is coming from a fitting or valve, not the tank
  • A single part has failed, like the element, thermostat or thermocouple

Replace when…

  • The tank itself is leaking or rusted
  • It's 10+ years old and needs frequent repairs
  • It can't keep up with your household anymore

Not sure which way to go? Our water heater repair Vaughan team checks the age, condition and size of your tank and gives you an upfront price for both options.

FAQ

Water Heater FAQ

How long does a water heater last?

Most tank water heaters last around 10 years. Tankless units often last longer if they're descaled once a year. Signs it's time for a new one: rust on the tank, a leak from the tank itself, or repairs that keep adding up.

Why is my water heater leaking?

Leaks from a fitting, the T&P valve or the drain valve can often be repaired. If water is coming from the tank body itself, the inside has rusted through and the water heater needs to be replaced.

Should I repair or replace my hot water tank?

If the tank is under about 10 years old and a single part has failed, a repair usually makes sense. If the tank is leaking, rusted or older and needs frequent repairs, replacement is the better value. We'll quote both so you can decide.

What temperature should my water heater be set to?

Health Canada recommends setting your water heater to 60°C to prevent the growth of bacteria like Legionella, with a mixing valve so hot water reaches the tap at about 49°C to reduce the risk of scalds.

My water heater is rented. Can you fix it?

Many Vaughan homes rent their water heater. Repairs on a rented unit are the rental company's responsibility. If you'd like to switch to a tank you own, check the buyout terms in your contract first, then we can install a new unit for you.

Where can I get hot water tank replacement near me in Vaughan?

★★★★★

Our hot water tank stopped heating on a Saturday morning. I thought we'd need a whole new unit, but the technician found a faulty heating element and replaced it. Hot water was back that afternoon. Really glad they checked before suggesting a replacement.

Had our old water heater replaced after it started leaking around the bottom. They helped us choose the right tank size, installed it neatly and took the old one away. No mess left behind in the basement.

We kept running out of hot water halfway through showers. The plumber checked the tank, explained what was happening and gave us a repair option along with the cost of replacing it. No pressure either way, which I appreciated.

Our tankless heater kept showing an error and shutting off. They cleaned the system, checked the sensors and got it running properly again. Haven't had the problem since.
