Gas water heater repair in Madison
A pilot that keeps going out leaves a Madison home without steady hot water. Established houses and newer slab-on-grade homes both use gas tank water heaters where gas service is available. A worn thermocouple or failed pilot assembly keeps the pilot from staying lit. We inspect the flame, test the thermocouple and check the gas valve before replacing a part. If the burner lights but heat stays uneven, we check its controls and burner. You hear the repair and cost before work starts. See our water heater repair service for the full range of tank repairs.
Electric water heater repair for Madison homes
Uneven heat or slow recovery points to a failed element or thermostat. Electric tanks sit in garages or utility spaces, including in newer Madison slab homes. We test the elements and thermostats in sequence, then replace the faulty part. We inspect wiring connections and confirm the controls cycle after the repair. Those checks separate a control issue from a worn element without guesswork.
Leaking water heaters in Madison utility spaces
Water near a drain valve or fitting points to a different repair than a leak through the tank shell. We check the drain valve, temperature and pressure relief valve, fittings, and tank seams to find the source. We replace a failed valve or connection; a leak through the shell points to tank corrosion. For a leaking shell, we handle replacement through water heater installation in Madison. We inspect the anode rod if tank condition or the reported problem points to corrosion.
