- Failing heating elements in electric water heaters

What to Do If Your Water Heater Is Leaking
A leaking water heater can cause real damage quickly. If you discover a leak:
- Turn off the cold water supply valve to the water heater, which is typically on the pipe above the unit
- For gas water heaters, turn the thermostat dial to the pilot setting
- For electric water heaters, shut off the circuit breaker to the unit
- Call Prostar. A leak won’t resolve on its own
Water Heater Repair vs. Replacement in Wilson, NC
Not every water heater issue warrants full replacement, but some do. A few factors worth weighing:
- If your unit is under 10 years old and experiencing its first significant issue, repair usually makes more sense
- If it’s 12 years or older and has needed multiple repairs, replacement typically offers better long-term value
- If the tank itself is leaking or corroded, it generally can’t be repaired and needs to be replaced
- If repair costs would exceed half the price of a comparable new unit, replacement is worth considering
Prostar will give you an honest assessment of both options so you can make the decision that makes sense for your home and budget.

Regular Maintenance Extends Water Heater Life
Most water heater issues develop gradually. Sediment builds up, anode rods wear down, and components age without any visible sign until something stops working. Annual maintenance, including flushing the tank and inspecting key components, catches these conditions early and extends the reliable service life of the unit significantly. Ask Prostar about maintenance scheduling when you call.

Water Heater Repair FAQs for Wilson, NC Homeowners
What type of maintenance should I do on my water heater?
We recommend that you contact a plumbing professional to perform any maintenance or repairs to your water heater – from periodic checks on the anode rod to ensuring that all connections are secure. Recommendations for maintenance are in your water heater’s owner manual. However, there are a few things that you can do:
- Ensure that there are no sources of flammable vapors in the same area as your water heater (this includes gasoline, heating oils, lighter fluid, propane, etc.).
- Keep the top of the water heater clean. If you notice water dripping on the water heater from any piping, contact a plumbing professional to have the leak repaired.
- Keep the space around your water heater clean and free of dirt, boxes, paint cans, aerosol cans, household cleaners and trash. It is important to keep the heater accessible for proper operation and easy maintenance.
Why is my water heater making a rumbling or popping sound?
Sediment that has settled at the bottom of the tank hardens over time and causes those sounds as water percolates through it during the heating cycle. Flushing the tank can help, but in older units with significant buildup, replacement may be more practical.
How long does a water heater repair usually take?
Many common repairs, including element replacements, thermostat swaps, and valve fixes, are completed in a single visit. If a part needs to be ordered for your specific model, we’ll let you know the timeline upfront.
Is it safe to use my water if the water heater is leaking?
If the leak is minor and coming from a connection rather than the tank itself, the water may be usable until we arrive, but you should shut off the supply to the unit to prevent the leak from worsening. A leaking tank should be shut down and repaired or replaced promptly.
Why does my hot water have a sulfur smell?
A sulfur or rotten egg smell in hot water is usually caused by a deteriorating anode rod reacting with the water chemistry. Replacing the anode rod typically resolves the issue. In some cases, bacterial growth in the tank is the culprit, which requires flushing and disinfecting the system.
Can you repair any brand or type of water heater?
Prostar works on gas, electric, tankless, and hybrid water heaters across all major brands. If you’re not sure whether we service your unit, call us with the make and model and we’ll confirm.
