First, check the temperature or relief valve (located on the side of the water heater near the top) and the drain valve (located near the bottom of the unit). If your water is leaking from one of those valves, then we can replace it and get you right back to hot water. If water is leaking from the tank itself, then you will need a new water heater.

Chemicals such as ammonia could adversely affect the finish. Instead, clean faucets with a sponge and buff dry. Finally, use only non-abrasive gentle liquids or fully dissolved powder cleaners mixed to the manufacturer’s directions.

Using these in-tank bowl cleaners can cause leakage from the toilet tank and possible property damage. So do not use in-tank bowl cleaners!

The most common reason why your sump pump stopped working is probably due to electric. For instance, there can be a power outage or a blown circuit breaker due to the other electrical items plugged in. Other reasons can include the sump pump is the wrong size, there is a problem with the switch, or the sump pump wasn’t installed properly.
If you’re looking to conserve energy, yet make sure there’s enough hot water, then setting you’re hot water heater at 120°F is the recommended temperature.
