Answers to frequently asked water heater repair questions from Mill Valley homeowners.
A water heater producing no hot water in Mill Valley 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.
Rumbling, popping, or banging sounds from a water heater in Mill Valley usually indicate sediment buildup on the bottom of the tank. Mineral deposits from hard water accumulate over time and overheat, creating the noise. Flushing the sediment can restore quiet operation. If the tank is old and heavily scaled, replacement may be more cost-effective than repeated flushing.
Tank water heaters in Mill Valley typically last 8 to 12 years with normal use and basic maintenance. Hard water accelerates sediment buildup and reduces lifespan. Annual anode rod inspection and occasional flushing extends tank life. Tankless water heaters generally last 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance and periodic descaling.
Yes. Magnet Plumbing services all major tankless water heater brands in Mill Valley, CA — diagnosing and repairing error codes, flow sensor failures, heat exchanger scale buildup, gas valve malfunctions, and igniter problems. Tankless units can often be repaired rather than replaced, and our plumbers carry common repair components for same-visit repairs when available.
Real feedback from homeowners who trusted Magnet Plumbing with their plumbing projects.
"Our 1970s galvanized pipes were failing one joint at a time. Got three bids on a whole-house repipe and these guys were competitive on price and had the best timeline. Seven days start to finish, minimal drywall damage, and water pressure is dramatically better throughout the house. Worth every dollar."
"Fixed a hidden leak behind the drywall without tearing apart the whole wall. Impressed with how precise they were and how quickly they found it."
"Smelled gas in the basement late at night and called the emergency line. A plumber was dispatched within the hour, located the leak at a corroded fitting on the water heater gas line, and repaired it on the spot. They even came back the next day to re-verify with the gas detector. Truly appreciated the care taken."
