Common Hot Water Systems We Repair

We’re more than happy to help with any system. Below are the most common ones that we see daily from job to job. Our expertise means we are able to diagnose, isolate, and repair systems quickly, giving you hot water again at any time of the day.

Emergency Electric Hot Water Repair

Do you have an electric system that's malfunctioning? It could be a simple fix or a complicated job; either way, you'll be sorted with Bayside Plumbing. Modern electric water heaters are complicated products, with more and more parts to ensure the most efficient system possible. We're here to help you navigate your electric hot water system. Common failures include:

• Heating elements can get burnt out just like an old light bulb, or they can be covered in mineral scale resulting in the need for disassembly and cleaning.

• Thermostats can break in the off position you will no longer get hot water. However if it fails in the on position the water will continue to get hotter resulting in dangerously hot water and a huge powerbill.

• Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve: a small spring holds the valve closed, minerals in the water slowly degrade this spring until it can no longer hold it closed an you will get a leak.

Emergency Gas Hot Water Repair

Liquid natural gas has been used for 100 years, but unfortunately, that doesn't mean it's impervious to breaking down. Whether it be problems with gas lines, gas ignition, or hot water transmission, our team of gas fitters and plumbers will have you sorted. It could be unfamiliar noises, inconsistent water temperatures, or the dreaded gas leak.

• Strange noises usually come from sediment and buildup in your pipes, which could mean the hot water capacity you have access to will stop working in the near future. 

• Inconsistent water temperatures can be attributed to a multitude of factors, from a pilot light out, a faulty thermocouple, a failed gas control valve, sediment buildup, or a broken dip tube.

• Gas leaks usually originate from wear or improper installation; either way, it can be incredibly dangerous for occupants. Worse still, if the exhaust gets blocked you could be exposed to high levels of carbon monoxide and not even know it.

Heat Pump Hot Water

Heat pumps might be the new hot thing, but they can still go wrong, and when they do, we're here to help. Our plumbers are fully equipped to deal with the technicalities of the newest technology. Whether the: 

• Elements have failed, either burnt out or covered in minerals, limescale etc

• It's clogged with sediment, all water carries sediment and it settles at the bottom of your tank and sometimes coats the heating elements.

• The system of valves have been stuck open or closed, heat pumps have a complex system of valves and the water and lack of oiling means valves can become stuck in any position.

• Thermostat failure is a common cause of issue with any hot water system.

Storage Hot Water Systems

Storage hot water systems, or tank hot water systems, are a popular option; we see lots of them day to day. Our experience means your system gets fixed on a shorter timeline with more expertise. Storage tanks can rust, leaving you with brown water; they can get clogged with sediment, and their heaters can stop working. If you've gone 8 - 12 years without thinking about your hot water system, there's a good chance it's been greatly affected by time and the minerals in the water we use.

Solar Hot Water Systems

Solar hot water systems are popular but often see more abuse from being in direct sunlight. Solar systems often fail with no warning, and if you have no booster, you'll be left without any form of hot water. Although, if it's a cloudy day and your booster isn't working, the problem will be all the same. Our emergency plumbers will work in your ceiling, on your roof, and even in your walls if necessary.

Hot Water Leaks

Hot water leaks usually originate from wear or improper installation; either way, it can be incredibly damaging to your household. Destroying ceilings, walls, and sometimes even foundations. It also creates a source of mold and will see your water bills rise exponentially as it gets worse. Even if its in a room thats supposed to get wet (bathrooms, kitchens, garages), most bathrooms and kitchens are made of a particleboard that's water-resistant but definitely not waterproof. These leaks will result in expanded cabinets, which is definitely not a good look.

Many hot water systems will let you know when they are on the fritz. Be it a strange squealing noise, a loud thud, fickle water temperature, less hot water, or leaks.
