These are the water heater problems we diagnose most often across Startex, SC.
We service both gas and electric tank systems, replacing the specific failed component rather than the whole unit when possible.
Tankless systems need descaling and flow sensor cleaning periodically — we service both the repair and that maintenance.
We test the thermocouple and gas valve together, since a weak pilot can point to either component.
A corroded anode rod left unreplaced accelerates tank failure — we check and replace it as part of a full service visit.
