Not every broken water heater needs to be replaced. Often, a $200 repair is all it takes to get another few years out of your unit.

Pinette Plumbing carries common parts like thermocouples, gas control valves, and heating elements. We assess the age and condition of your tank honestly—if a repair is throwing good money after bad, we'll tell you straight up.

Repair FAQs

My pilot light keeps going out. Why? ▼
This is usually a bad thermocouple (the sensor that detects flow). It's a common and relatively inexpensive repair.
Why is my hot water brown? ▼
Brown or rusty water usually means the steel tank itself is corroding. This is a sign that the unit is nearing the end of its life and replacement is imminent.
Is it worth repairing a 10-year-old water heater? ▼
Generally, no. The average lifespan is 8-12 years. Putting money into a unit that old is risky; we typically recommend upgrading to a new, efficient model.
