24/7 Emergency Water Heater Repair

Continue

A water heater doesn't wait for business hours to fail. If your tank is leaking, you smell gas, or you have no hot water, call us any time, including nights, weekends, and holidays. For leaks, shut off the cold water supply valve on top of the heater. If you smell gas, leave the home and call your gas utility or 911 first, then call us. Learn more about our 24/7 emergency plumbing service.

Water Heaters We Repair

Continue

Gas Water Heaters

We diagnose and fix pilot lights that won't stay lit, faulty thermocouples and thermopiles, gas control valves, burner problems, and venting issues. Every gas repair is done with safety first.

Electric Water Heaters

Electric heaters most often fail because of burned-out heating elements, bad thermostats, or tripped high-limit switches. We test each component and replace only what's needed.

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless units need care, especially with hard water. We handle error codes, ignition and flow sensor problems, and descaling/flushing to clear mineral buildup that restricts flow and triggers shutdowns.

  • No hot water, or hot water that runs out fast
  • Water that's lukewarm or too hot
  • Rumbling, popping, or banging from the tank
  • Water pooling around the base or dripping from the relief valve

  • A rotten-egg smell from the hot water
  • A pilot light that keeps going out
  • Tankless error codes or cold-water "sandwiches"

How Arizona Hard Water Damages Water Heaters

Continue

West Valley water is loaded with calcium and magnesium. When it's heated, those minerals settle at the bottom of the tank as sediment and coat elements and heat exchangers with scale. That causes:

  • Popping and rumbling as water trapped under sediment boils
  • Lower efficiency and higher energy bills, because heat has to pass through a layer of scale
  • Burned-out elements in electric heaters
  • Clogged heat exchangers and shutdowns in tankless units
  • Shorter lifespan overall

Regular flushing helps, and a water softener or salt-free conditioner can greatly reduce scale going forward.

Repair or Replace?

Continue

Not every water heater problem means buying a new one. Repair often makes sense when:

  • The heater is relatively young
  • The problem is a single part (thermostat, element, thermocouple, valve)
  • The tank itself isn't leaking

Replacement is usually the better call when:

  • The tank is leaking or rusted through
  • The unit is near or past its expected lifespan (often around 8 to 12 years for tank heaters)
  • Repairs are adding up or the heater can't keep up with your household

We'll give you an honest assessment and a free estimate for both options. If replacement is the smarter move, see our water heater installation service, or read our guide on whether to repair or replace your water heater.

FAQ Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers below
Why do I have no hot water? +
For gas heaters, the most common causes are a pilot light that's out, a bad thermocouple, or a faulty gas valve. For electric heaters, it's usually a tripped breaker, a failed element, or a bad thermostat. Tankless units may show an error code. Call us and we'll diagnose it.
Do you offer emergency water heater repair? +
Yes. Max Plumbing answers calls 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays, across Surprise, Peoria, and the West Valley.
Why is my water heater making popping noises? +
Popping or rumbling usually means sediment from hard water has built up at the bottom of the tank. Flushing the tank can help; heavy buildup may mean repairs or replacement.
Do you repair tankless water heaters? +
Yes. We repair and descale tankless water heaters, which are especially prone to mineral buildup in Arizona's hard water.
Should I repair or replace my water heater? +
If the heater is relatively young and the problem is a single part, repair usually makes sense. If the tank is leaking or the unit is old, replacement is often the better value. We'll give you honest options and a free estimate before any work begins.
How much does water heater repair cost? +
It depends on the type of heater and the part that failed. Call (480) 353-8080 for a free estimate before any work begins.
Are you licensed? +
Yes. Max Plumbing LLC holds Arizona Contractor License ROC #345009.
