Jalen and his team were very courteous and professional. They found the problems and corrected all our issues fast and efficiently. We are retired and I truly felt like they were family and were working as if our home was their own. I can’t say enough about how thankful we are to have had them do our service. A rating of 5 stars seems too low. They deserve an above exceptional rating.

Today, Isaiah came out to look at a water leak around our pressure tank. He arrived on time and identified the problem very quickly. This ended up being a warranty repair for a relief valve. He was very courteous and a pleasure to talk with during the repair. People like him are the reason I trust Wisler with my plumbing repairs. Thank you Isaiah! Ed Wells

Matt was such a delight. Very professional, he explained everything to me to where I could understand what was going on. I would highly recommend Wisler Plumbing
We are so impressed with Chaz Thibodeaux, Wisler dispatched him the same day we called to schedule an appointment and he literally walked in and installed a brand new kitchen faucet within an hour or two...on a Friday! He was such a delight to engage with and was quick to diagnose the problem, present our solution options, and get to work making sure we had working water for the weekend. We appreciate you all so, so much!

Water Heater FAQs

Why do I have no hot water at all?

A complete loss of hot water usually means a failed heating element or thermostat on an electric unit, a pilot light or ignition failure on a gas unit, or — on an older tank — a fully failed unit near the end of its lifespan. If your water heater is under 8 years old, this is typically a straightforward repair. We diagnose the exact cause on-site and give you a fixed price before starting any work.

 

Lukewarm water is often caused by a thermostat set too low, a partially failed heating element (on units with two elements, one can fail while the other still works), or sediment buildup insulating the burner or element from the water. It can also mean your tank is undersized for your household’s demand. We’ll pinpoint the cause and let you know whether it’s a quick fix or a sign the unit needs replacing.

A shrinking hot water supply is commonly caused by sediment buildup taking up space in the tank, a failing heating element that can’t keep up with demand, or a broken dip tube that’s letting cold water mix in at the top of the tank. Annual flushing can prevent much of this — it’s included with our Diamond Club Membership maintenance visits.

Seeing rusty or brown water coming out of your shower or sinks can be unsightly. Different colors mean different things. Usually, rusty water is a sign of corrosion inside the water heater tank. If your water is cloudy, brown, or green, this could be caused by sediment buildup or other issues.

Temperature swings are typically caused by a struggling thermostat, sediment interfering with heat transfer, a tank that’s too small for simultaneous hot water use in the house (like a dishwasher running during a shower), or — on tankless units — a flow rate below the unit’s minimum activation threshold. We check both the equipment and your household’s usage pattern to find the actual cause.

Hearing weird sounds coming from your water heater can sometimes remind you of a scary movie! If you hear unusual sounds like popping, rumbling, or banging, it could mean there’s internal problems that need to be looked at and addressed by a professional.

The water should stay inside the tank. If you notice water outside of it, then this is cause for concern! Any leaks from your water heater are a serious issue that need to be addressed promptly. They could indicate a cracked tank, loose connections, or other problems.

Is your water heater not turning on at all? That’s not good! This could mean there’s an issue with the power supply, gas supply, or the water heater’s control system.

Most tank water heaters last 8–12 years. If yours is in that range and showing rust-colored water, rumbling noises, or inconsistent temperatures, it’s worth having it inspected rather than waiting for a full failure. 

If the unit is under 8 years old with an isolated issue like a heating element or thermostat, repair usually makes sense. Past that age, or with tank leaks or rust in the water, replacement is typically the smarter long-term investment.
