A tankless unit throwing error codes, failing to ignite, or delivering weaker hot water flow than it used to is often scale buildup on the heat exchanger, a clogged inlet filter, a flow sensor fault, or a venting problem rather than a failing unit. Hard water in Reliance, SD speeds up scale buildup, which is why units that go years without descaling tend to show these symptoms first.

If the unit is showing an error code, note it before calling since it narrows down the likely cause. Persistent ignition failures, a gas smell near the unit, or hot water that won't come up to temperature at all are reasons to stop troubleshooting and have someone look at the venting and gas supply directly.

Annual descaling is the single biggest factor in how long a tankless unit lasts. Call (844) 898-0295 and Smart Pro Plumbers will connect you with an independent local plumber in Reliance, SD to service it.

Tankless Water Heater Repair & Maintenance FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Tankless Water Heater Repair & Maintenance

Questions we hear most often about Tankless Water Heater Repair & Maintenance in Reliance, SD.

Talk to a real person
Why does my water heater's pilot light keep going out?
A pilot that won't stay lit is usually a failed thermocouple, the small sensor that tells the gas valve a flame is present. When it wears out, the valve shuts off the gas as a safety measure, even though you keep relighting it. Do not keep manually holding the pilot lit or forcing the gas valve. Shut the gas supply if you smell any odor and leave the area. This is a repair for a professional, not a DIY project. Call (844) 898-0295 and describe the symptoms to get connected with an independent local plumber.
Why is only one drain slow, but the rest of the house is fine?
A single slow fixture, like one sink or tub, is usually a localized clog close to that drain, often hair, soap, or grease. When every drain in the house backs up at once, including the lowest fixture like a basement floor drain, the problem is usually farther down the main line, such as root intrusion at a clay pipe joint or a bellied section that holds water. A cable machine can usually clear a local clog, while a main line problem often needs a camera inspection or hydro jetting to confirm the cause and clear it fully. Call (844) 898-0295 and describe which drains are affected.
Do I really need my backflow preventer tested every year?
Many municipalities require an annual backflow test to confirm the device is still stopping contaminated water from flowing back into the clean water supply, and skipping it can bring a notice from the water utility. The test itself is quick, but it should be done by someone familiar with local backflow codes, since requirements vary by city. If you received a notice from your water provider or are not sure whether your property even has a backflow preventer, do not guess. Call (844) 898-0295 and mention the notice to get connected with an independent local plumber who handles backflow testing in Reliance, SD.
How do I know if my sump pump is about to fail?
Listen for a pump that runs constantly, cycles on and off rapidly, or makes a grinding or humming noise without moving water. A pump that stays silent during heavy rain, or a pit that stays full instead of draining down, are also warning signs. Age matters too, since most pumps wear out after some years of regular use. Do not wait for a flooded basement to deal with it. If you are noticing any of these signs, or need a new sump pump installed, call (844) 898-0295 and describe the situation.
My water bill jumped and I can't find a leak. What should I do?
Start by shutting off every fixture in the house, then check the water meter. If the dial is still moving, water is escaping somewhere, possibly underground, inside a wall, or under a slab, even if no puddle is visible. A running toilet or a small slab leak can waste a surprising amount of water without any obvious sign. Do not just wait for the next bill to see if it drops. Call (844) 898-0295 and describe what your meter is doing to get connected with an independent local plumber who handles leak detection in Reliance, SD.
