I don’t have hot water2023-12-01T08:26:55-06:00

Not getting hot water from your faucet, here are some things you can check.

If you have a gas water heater, is the burner assembly at the base lit? If the burner is lit, you likely need to adjust the thermostat temperature or replace it. Adjusting the temperature is easy: Turn the dial to the desired temperature. When adjusting the temperature does not help, call Champion Plumbing for service or look up your water heater’s warranty. See the guide above to look up your water heater’s warranty.

If the burner assembly is not lit. Attempt to follow the directions on your water heater to light the pilot.

If you have an electric water heater, ensure the circuit breaker works appropriately. If the breaker is working, you may need to schedule a visit from a plumber. Please note that electric water heaters may require the use of electricians. Plumbers cannot troubleshoot electrical faults, like a defective breaker or wiring, but can test and troubleshoot heating elements.

When in doubt, we are here to help. In many cases, contacting the water heater’s manufacturer will help you determine whether your product is under warranty. See the above guide on warranty lookup.

Water leaking from valve on the side2023-12-01T07:47:38-06:00

The valve on your water heater’s side is called the Temperature and Pressure Relief (T&P) valve. This valve is a safety feature that prevents your water heater from overheating or over-pressurizing. If you notice water leaking from this valve, it could indicate the valve is failing, or your home may have very high water pressure. Call Champion Plumbing for service when this valve is leaking.
