Answers to frequently asked water heater repair questions from Southeast Aurora homeowners.
A water heater producing no hot water in Southeast Aurora can be caused by a tripped circuit breaker for electric units, a failed pilot light or gas valve for gas units, a burned-out heating element, a failed thermostat, or a tripped high-temperature limit switch. Magnet Plumbing diagnoses the specific cause and repairs it on the same visit whenever possible.
Rusty or discolored hot water in a Southeast Aurora home usually indicates an anode rod that has been depleted and the tank is beginning to corrode internally. In some cases it is sediment stirring from the tank bottom. If the unit is over 8 to 10 years old and producing rust-colored water, tank replacement is often the recommended solution.
Water heater repair in Southeast Aurora typically costs $150 to $500 depending on the component being replaced. Common repairs like thermostat replacement, heating element swap, or T&P valve replacement are on the lower end. Gas valve or burner assembly replacement costs more. Magnet Plumbing provides a free diagnostic and written estimate before performing any repairs.
Tank water heaters in Southeast Aurora typically last 8 to 12 years with normal use and basic maintenance. Hard water accelerates sediment buildup and reduces lifespan. Annual anode rod inspection and occasional flushing extends tank life. Tankless water heaters generally last 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance and periodic descaling.

"Magnet Plumbing handles all the plumbing for our restaurant. Reliable, always on time, and they understand commercial urgency."
"Main water line burst and we had a river in the front yard. They isolated the break, got the water back on within a few hours, and replaced the section cleanly the next day. Excellent emergency response."
"Called Magnet Plumbing when our old 40-gallon tank started leaking. They came out the same day, gave me a fair quote on a tankless replacement, and had it running by end of day. Could not be happier with the work or the price."
