What Walterboro homeowners want to know about water heater repair — answered by our licensed plumbers.
A water heater producing no hot water in Walterboro 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.
Water heater leaks in Walterboro homes can come from the pressure relief valve releasing due to over-pressure or temperature, loose inlet or outlet connections, a corroded drain valve, or — most seriously — a crack in the tank itself. Tank leaks typically mean the unit needs replacement. Magnet Plumbing inspects the source of the leak and advises on repair vs. replacement.
Water heater repair in Walterboro 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.
Rusty or discolored hot water in a Walterboro 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.
Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"I never gush over crew, but this company saved us. Plumbing back-ups are a non-starter for most days but on a Friday panic call, Saul picked up and was there first thing. He problem solves. Saul and his team are undeniably the most professional plumbing team I have ever hired. On time, reasonable rate, professional work and communication, great personalities, and they cleaned up when done."
"Bought a new house and had a pre-purchase sewer camera inspection done. The plumber walked me through the footage and pointed out one section that would need attention in a few years. Honest assessment, no upsell pressure."
"Been meaning to write this for a while. Our sewer line collapsed and we had three quotes — two wanted to dig up the whole yard, Magnet recommended trenchless. They finished in two days, no damage to the lawn, and the price came in thousands under the other guys. The Magnet team knows what they are doing and I will not hesitate to call them again."
