Tank Leaks and Pressure Problems in Bethlehem

Even gas water heaters can develop tank leaks, often due to corrosion from hard water or high water pressure. Private wells serve a very large number of homes, and they are not regulated by the state, so owners are responsible for testing their own water. While some leaks might require a replacement, minor leaks or pressure relief valve issues can often be repaired. Our team checks the extent of the damage, inspects the anode rod and addresses pressure imbalances to prevent further complications in your Bethlehem home.

Burner Cleaning and Repair in Bethlehem, PA

A yellow, lazy or noisy flame points to a dirty burner or poor combustion air. We remove and clean the burner, check the orifice size for natural gas or propane and adjust as needed. A clean blue flame heats more quickly and produces less carbon monoxide. We also check for rust flakes dropping from the flue.

Gas Control Valve Replacement in Bethlehem, PA

The gas control valve controls temperature and shuts off gas if the pilot goes out. Newer valves from Honeywell and White-Rodgers use status lights that blink codes when something goes wrong. If the valve itself has failed, we replace it with an exact match or approved universal model. We leak test and verify temperature control afterward.
