When Do You Need To Repair/Replace Your Water Heater
Leaking Tank
If you notice your tank water heater is leaking, shutting off the water line valve is the first step. It’s usually found in your basement by the furnace or water heater, but sometimes it’s below your kitchen sink.
No Hot Water
Not getting any warm or hot water from the tap? If you own a gas water heater, it could be an issue with the pilot light.
Water Is Too Hot or Too Cold
Water heaters have to be sized appropriately for your home’s needs, just like an HVAC system is. Our Expert technicians understand how to properly assess your hot water needs.
High Energy Bills
A sudden increase in energy bills could indicate that the water heater is working harder than necessary, possibly due to sediment buildup, a faulty thermostat, or poor insulation.
When To Go For Water Heater Repair
There are a few possible issues that could mean that your water heater needs to be looked at by a professiona;. These include:
- Leaking or Rusting Water Tank: If water keeps dripping from the water tank, or you find pools of it underneath. Rust can also accumulate over time causing damage to the tank as well as polluting the water.
- Inconsistent Water Temperature: If your water heater fails to maintain the desired temperature, it could be an issue with the heating element.
- Sediment Build Up: See if the heating element can be cleared up or repaired, otherwise, a complete replacement may be on the cards.
- Noises Coming From The Water Heater: Unusual sounds can mean there are problems with either the water tank or the heating element.
- Higher Utility Bills: This means your water heater is having to work overtime to heat up water, hinting at underlying issues.
Signs You Need A Water Heater Replacement
Replacing your water heater can reduce your energy bills, increase your hot water capacity, reduce maintenance expenditure and equip you with modern features for increased comfort.
These signs can mean that your water heater needs replacing:
- Age Of The Water Heater: If your heater has reached its expected lifespan, it might be a good idea to get a new one before issues start.
- Increased Water Consumption: If you have expanded your property, see if your current water heater is able to cater to the additional water needs, otherwise, it would need replacing.
- Repeated Breakdowns: For whatever reason, inconsistent hot water supply can mean that your water heater needs to be replaced.
- Increased Energy Bills: Rising bills may indicate that your heater is not operating efficiently and has to be replaced.

6 months ago they came out and took great care of me, 6 months later another problem, set up a on line booking, last trip out they charged me $199 for unclogging a drain, this time they were running a $49 special, they called me 20 minutes out and said on there way, i explained my problem and he told me that special doesn’t apply to your citation and because we have been out before we are gone have to charge you more! MORE for being a returning customer! For being a returning customer they now wanted to charge me $299 for the exact same job they did before! So I told him I will cancel if you don’t give me the same price as last time, he said I will call my supervisor and ask him and get back to you, well 3 hours later no call back! How’s that for customer service! And trying to take advantage of the customer who was being loyal and coming back for the service that was given before! I am a Manager of a retail business, I pride myself on loyalty of my clients and customer service, when I say I am gonna do something I do it! This is the poorest most disrespectful things you can do to your customers, reviews are now for the public to see, and how bad you take care of your customers and customers who come back to give you business, just shows what loyalty means to them, all about the mighty DOLLAR, and taking advantage of you! Go somewhere else where they will treat you as a customer and not a notch in there belt!

This company was incredibly professional and very thorough. Martin was sent over to resolve a leak we were experiencing, thoroughly explained the options, and presented a detailed quote for our review. He completed the task, resolved our issue in a timely manner, and left us incredibly pleased with the experience.
The technician was professional, arrived on time, gave me an estimate for clearing the garbage disposal and drain, completed the work in an hour, cleaned up after himself, and reacted right away. They could even complete the work the next morning. I heartily endorse this company.
After contacting an elite plumber, they promptly arrived but the plumber declined to use a main line snake on my mainline drain. Instead, they used a 1/2 inch cable and stated that the line could not be unclogged from the cleanout. The plumber also refused to attach a head to the drain cable and attempted to upsell me on hydrojetting. When the supervisor arrived, they confirmed that hydrojetting was the only solution as they were unable to clear the blockage using other methods. So I said no the hydrojet and told them to call it a day. I then contacted a different plumber who had the appropriate mainline cable for his plumbing snake. He utilized a retriever head to swiftly clear the clog in the drain. It is unclear whether they lack knowledge or are simply attempting to maximize profits by exploiting homeowners. Be aware that they may not prioritize your best interests.
I’m very satisfied with the work that Raymundo did replacing my water heater. I would recommend Elite Rooter if you have any plumbing needs.
Elite Rooter really stepped up. After a dishwasher installation snafu, Martin from Elite responded and step by step explained the why and the what needed to be done to ensure my plumbing problem was fixed. He was knowledgeable, professional, and made me feel like he would help me as he would a family member. I really appreciated their follow-up and guarantee of their finished product/work. Thank you, Martin and Elite...
Service Rep Freddy was great no issues there, cost was a bit steep but it's a job I'm not doing and know nothing about i wouldn't say I was overcharged I just didn't think it was going to be that expensive. Again the actual representative that did the job was great, great attitude it was actually late by the time he left but no issues since so job was done.
Martin, from Elite Rooter came out the same day I called to take care of a clogged drain in my shower. He found the problem quickly and resolved it quickly in less than 30 min. There was an online discount available as well! I really appreciated the quick courteous and reasonable service. Elite has become my first choice for plumbing issues.
Call was handled quickly, and was scheduled same day. Arrived as promised, serviceman looked over problem, explained what needed to be done. He was friendly, worked quickly and left area cleaned up! I was very impressed with the service and highly recommend Elite Rooter.
My past experiences with other plumbing companies have not been great. The work has been substandard and/or the cost has been extremely inflated. Elite Rooter gave me timely and efficient service at an extremely fair price. They started work immediately, as soon as the problem was diagnosed and they worked every day including Saturday until the work was finished. They were very thorough and very careful not to cause any damage or leave any mess. Martin and Fernando are a great team! They are trustworthy!
We had a complete blockage in our drain pipe. Chris and his team came to assess the problem. They were quickly able to determine the root cause and provided a couple of solutions and offered advice. They did an amazing job in replacing our main drain pipe that was cracked due to tree root intrusion. Everything was done promptly and with a permit. The team is very knowledgeable. Highly recommended if you want the job to be done right and have peace of mind.
Elite Rooter offers the best toilet unclogging service I've ever had. I called them to make an appointment and asked them to do the service as soon as possible. Then they sent Raymund to me in just 20 minutes. Raymund was a very nice person. He unclogged my toilet in just 5 minutes. Since that was not a very big problem, he told me that today's service is free! Wow, what a big surprise! I would definitely recommend their service to everyone!
I made a last-minute call to Elite rooter when another plumber I was going to have fixed our shower drain quoted a very high price. Elite Rooter had a coupon on their website and was able to come out to the house within the hour. Leo was the technician and he knows his craft! He informed me I could not use the coupon due to the complexity of the clog and that was fine as we live in an old house and things work differently in these types of homes. He managed to clear the clog and now our shower drains which make me very happy. I would definitely hire Elite Rooter again for our plumbing needs.
They were professional and pleasant while we did business with them. They wore masks from the moment they came to the door until the minute they left. They also put on new shoe covers at the front door each time they entered to keep the inside of our house clean and germ-free. Raymund was our senior technician and did a great job. They were on time and efficient, but detail oriented, as well. We highly recommend using them if you're in the Camarillo area and have plumbing needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are there roots in my sewer line?
Tree roots basically do two things: they keep the tree from falling over, and they serve to collect water and nutrients to feed the tree. The inside of a sewer line sees a lot of water, and a ton of nutrients. If a tree root can find its way inside a sewer line (and it takes a very tiny hole to do so), it will feed, and grow until it completely takes over.
I had a plumber perform a rooter service, and he cut out the roots. Is my problem solved?
Unfortunately, no. Although the roots were cut, it is not possible to get every last trace of roots. The stubs will still be there. It’s like cutting a bush at ground level. Over time that bush will start to sprout new growth, and left unchecked, will grow into an entirely new bush. The roots do the same. The only way to solve the problem is to completely remove the roots, and seal the hole they used to get into the pipe.
How do I permanently fix a root problem?
The only way to really remove the roots completely and seal the hole is to remove the affected section of pipe and replace it with “root proof” seals. This can be done via a spot repair, or an entirely new sewer line. If you are unsure which of those two options is the best for your situation, you can check out our article on Sewer Repair/Replacement.
I heard about sewer pipe lining. Will that work?
There are some instances where relining your sewer line may be an option. Unfortunately it is not usually the best option. There are several reasons for this, and we will cover that in a future article (sewer pipe lining).
What about root killing chemicals? Do they work?
The short answer is, “Yes, and no.” The proper root killer is one that foams and turns very thick, so that it clings to the roots, but does not leach into your ground soil and kill all your surrounding landscaping (remember, if you have roots, there is a hole in your sewer somewhere). These compounds are very pricey, and after years of them being on the market, the jury is still out as to whether or not they really work. Even if they do work, and manage to kill the roots themselves, they still leave a hole there in your sewer line, and more will get in at some point.
