Magnet Plumbing tests every repaired water heater in Novato, CA before completing the job — verifying correct temperature output at fixtures, confirming no leaks at all connections, and checking that safety components are functioning as designed.
What Novato homeowners want to know about water heater repair — answered by our licensed plumbers.
A water heater producing no hot water in Novato 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.
Water heater repair in Novato typically costs $150 to $500 depending on the component being replaced. Common repairs like thermostat replacement, heating element swap, or T&P valve replacement are on the lower end. Gas valve or burner assembly replacement costs more. Magnet Plumbing provides a free diagnostic and written estimate before performing any repairs.
Water heater leaks in Novato homes can come from the pressure relief valve releasing due to over-pressure or temperature, loose inlet or outlet connections, a corroded drain valve, or — most seriously — a crack in the tank itself. Tank leaks typically mean the unit needs replacement. Magnet Plumbing inspects the source of the leak and advises on repair vs. replacement.
Yes. Magnet Plumbing services all major tankless water heater brands in Novato, CA — diagnosing and repairing error codes, flow sensor failures, heat exchanger scale buildup, gas valve malfunctions, and igniter problems.
