Hot Water Tank Replacement in Burnaby

Why You Might Need to Replace Your Hot Water Tank
1. No Hot Water
If your tank has stopped producing hot water or only lasts a few minutes, the internal heating element, burner, or dip tube may have failed. Replacement is often more cost-effective than repair—especially for older tanks.
2. Water Leaking from the Tank
A leak from the bottom of your water heater tank usually means internal corrosion or a cracked tank liner—and these cannot be repaired. Immediate replacement is necessary to prevent water damage.
3. Tank is 10+ Years Old
Most standard hot water tanks last 8–12 years. If yours is approaching or beyond that age, it’s wise to proactively replace it before it fails—especially if it’s in a finished basement or near hardwood floors.
4. Discoloured or Rusty Water
Rusty or brown water is a sign the anode rod has failed, and your tank is corroding internally. If not addressed, this leads to eventual tank failure.
5. Unusual Noises
Popping, banging, or rumbling noises usually mean sediment buildup has hardened inside your tank, reducing efficiency and damaging the liner.
