Keep the Warm Water Flowing
A water heater is a luxury that most Americans can’t live without. But we often take our water heaters for granted and don’t realize their importance until they fail. Water heaters work hard, but sometimes they work a little too hard and end up needing professional resuscitation. At My Plumbers LLC, we understand that water heaters are essential for comfortable living, so we work diligently to provide the repairs you need. Our plumbers are licensed and insured and ready to offer the best plumbing experience you’ve ever had. Choose My Plumbers LLC for your next water heater repair in Asheville, NC.
Understanding the Different Kinds of Water Heaters
There are different kinds of water heaters, and each kind poses its own benefits and drawbacks. There are storage tank and tankless water heaters as well as electric and gas varieties.
Storage tank water heaters are perhaps the most common. As their name indicates, this variety features a storage tank that holds warmed water. Storage tank units can be electric or gas powered. While less expensive than tankless units, storage tank units have a relatively long refill time and provide a limited supply of hot water.
Tankless water heaters are sometimes called “on demand water heaters” because they provide an endless source of hot water. However, it’s important to understand that these units sometimes take longer to provide hot water than storage tank units because the heating element must first heat up and then heat up the water. If the faucet is far from the tankless water heater, heating of water may take even longer.
There are also condensing water heaters, heat pump heaters, solar water heaters, and hybrid models. Knowing which kind to install in your home depends on your water supply needs, power source, and budget. But if you already have a water heater and are looking for water heater repair in Asheville, NC, we offer repair services, too.
Typical Problems with Water Heater Installations
The average tank water heater can last about 13 years. Well-maintained tankless water heaters can run for up to three decades. Despite their relative longevity, a repair may be required before a replacement is necessary. Common problems with water heaters include:
- Failing anode rod. The anode rod is the sacrificial lamb of your hot water heater. Its job is to wear itself down to maintain the tank. You see, a water heater tank is an intense environment — there’s heat, moisture, and a metal storage tank. Together, these are the perfect conditions for rust and corrosion. As anode rods erode, they release electrons into the water in the tank, helping slow or prevent corrosion in the tank.
- Water temperature issues. Lack of power, faulty thermostats, and faulty heating elements are often to blame when your water heater is experiencing water temperature issues.
- Leaks. There are many things that can cause a water heater to leak. A bad gasket, improper water pressure, and overheating are just a few of the things that can cause your water heater to fail.
- Colored water. Rusty or murky water can be a sign of corrosion inside your tank’s inner lining. It may also be an indicator of a failing anode rod. If a corroded tank is the issue, replacing it is the only solution.
- Strange sounds. Calcium and magnesium deposits are often to blame for odd noises coming from your water heater. Eliminate this issue by investing in whole house water filtration.
- Lower water pressure. Low pressure often results if your pipes are too narrow. This problem tends to be more common in older homes.
- Smelly water in tank. If there’s foul smelling water inside your tank, bacteria is likely to blame. This is especially true if you operate on well water. Flushing stinky water in your tank or increasing tank temperatures to boiling might fix the problem. If the odor is of rotten eggs, a failing anode rod could be the problem, and replacing the rod may fix the issue.

Co-owner/operator Stephen and his brother Mauricio came out to quote a residential hot water heater replacement for me. They were prompt, communicative, very thorough and did a great job addressing my concerns and educating me on the process. They were professional and courteous, and I would highly recommend them to others, and in particular to other women. It's always a concern about how you'll be treated when dealing with home maintenance companies, but I felt at ease, respected and comfortable in our interactions from start to finish. I would definitely call them again for any future plumbing work.

Company reccommended by a neighbor. Stephen came out and quickly solved the problem with our tankless hwh and made suggestions on how we could use it more efficiently.

My experience with this company was none other than exceptional. We needed a new waterline installed at our church for about 350-400 feet and the process went very smooth.
Although I mainly worked with John, his business partner is wonderful also. They are honest, trustworthy, and do quality work. I found it easy to communicate with them and I really appreciated the daily updates on the work. I plan to use this company in the future for church work and for plumbing needs at my residence. I highly recommend My Plumbers LLC.

John Michael was practical and thorough in explaining the work that needed to be done and how he could improve my water heater set-up. He added in a couple, extra small jobs and improvements at minimal cost. Everything is working perfectly and in much better shape than I found it when I bought the house. I will call again for any and all plumbing needs!
Courtney StilesOct 04, 2022
Both JohnMichael and Steven were very professional, genuine and kind. Explained far too much more than what I could grasp, however when Steven and his brother showed up the job was taken care of thoroughly to what JohnMichael explained the week prior to what we were needed to be done. Extremely professional, kind and respectful. I haven't dealt with a plumber since I have moved here, but they will be our plumbers moving forward due to their professionalism and mannerism! Thanks guys!! Deanna Alberson

Stephen and Johnmichael were excellent!
It started with me asking a ton of questions and Stephen patiently taking the time to answer them and address all my concerns. I felt like I was well informed with no pressure to make a decision.
Once I was ready to move forward, he was extremely prompt in coming out for a consultation and equally as quick to begin performing the work. They were both extremely courteous while in our home, and took care to thoroughly clean up after they finished.
Courtesy calls were provided prior to arrival times, they were punctual, and the work was completed in a timely manner. To top it all off, I am thoroughly pleased with the product installed!
I highly recommend giving My Plumbers a call for any of your plumbing needs!

Ellen HeywoodJan 11, 2022
Professional, responsive, and great workmanship. What more can you ask for? I had them install a tank-less water heater and also run a gas line for a backup generator. Their prices are very reasonable and the quality of their work was superb. This was the finishing touches on house addition project that I had done. Best interaction and service with any of the contractors a dealt with. They also spotted an issue with the gas line for the furnace which was just replaced. The HVAC contractors took some shortcuts and didn't have have gas piping installed correctly which also had a slight leak. If I need plumbing services again they will 100% get my business again.
