Hot Water Unit Repairs

For all your urgent and pre-arranged hot water repairs it is advisable to contact your local plumbing professional. You will often save time and money by investing in the service of a good plumber and getting the installation carried out correctly the first time round. A plumber may provide services to support hot water repairs, hot water servicing, replacements and new installations on gas, electric and solar hot water systems.

Domestic hot water is provided by means of a hot water unit. The hot water from these units is piped to the various fixtures and appliances that require hot water, such as lavatories, sinks, bathtubs, showers, washing machines, and dishwashers.

Causes of Hot Water Unit Leakage

A hot water unit may need to be repaired if it begins to leak, particularly if the unit is located inside the home. There are only a limited number of places that a hot water unit can leak from. These include:

• From the pressure and temperature relief valve is located near the top
• From the element gasket near the bottom of the hot water unit where the electrical wires enter and is covered by a box or plate.
• From the cylinder itself.

In the great majority of cases a leaking hot water cylinder means the unit is beyond repair and will require replacement. Please contact your local plumbing professional for a consultation.
