No hot water, a rusty trickle from the tap, or a puddle under the tank: when a water heater fails, it rarely picks a convenient day. 717 Mechanical LLC provides water heater repair in Marietta, PA and across Lancaster County, with same-day service whenever scheduling allows for leaks, no-hot-water calls, and failing tanks.
With 14 years of experience, our technicians diagnose the actual cause of the problem, whether it is a failed heating element, a thermocouple that will not hold the pilot, a leaking fitting, or a tank buried in sediment from Lancaster County's hard water, and quote the repair before any work begins. We repair all major brands and specialize in Bradford White water heaters, the tanks we install when a repair no longer makes sense.

If your current Bradford White water heater needs maintenance or repair, 717 Mechanical LLC has the expertise to restore its performance.
If your water heater isn’t working properly, it may show early warning signs of failure. Addressing these issues early helps prevent major breakdowns and expensive water damage.
No hot water at all usually means a failed heating element or thermostat on an electric tank, or a pilot, thermocouple, or gas valve problem on a gas tank.
Water runs out too quickly or fluctuates between hot and lukewarm, often because a lower element has failed or sediment has buried it.
Popping, banging, or rumbling sounds come from water trapped under a layer of sediment on the tank bottom, which is common in our hard-water region.
Whistling or hissing may point to a pressure problem or a partially closed valve.
Rust-colored hot water at the tap often means the anode rod is used up and the tank itself has started to corrode.
Rotten egg odors indicate bacterial growth in the tank reacting with the anode rod.
Drips at the inlet, outlet, or relief valve are usually repairable: a fitting, a valve, or a drain cock.
Water pooling at the base of the tank with no leaking fitting above it means the tank has failed and should be replaced before it lets go.
A pilot that will not stay lit on a gas tank is most often a worn thermocouple or a dirty pilot assembly, both quick repairs.
A burner that will not ignite at all may be a failed gas control valve or igniter.
A breaker that trips or a reset button that keeps popping on an electric tank points to a shorted heating element or a failed high-limit thermostat.
Higher energy bills without more usage mean the tank is working harder than it should, usually from sediment or a failing element.

Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years, and less than that in Lancaster County if the tank has never been flushed, because our hard water builds sediment quickly. Inside that window, a single failed part such as a heating element, thermostat, thermocouple, or relief valve is almost always worth repairing. Past 10 years, a major repair on a tank that is already rumbling or showing rust deserves a second look, and a tank that is leaking from the body itself cannot be repaired at all. For typical price ranges by part and how to weigh them against a replacement, see our water heater repair cost guide.
We tell you honestly which situation you are in. When replacement is the better answer, we handle water heater installation in Marietta, PA with properly sized Bradford White gas and electric tanks, and we haul the old unit away.
A tank water heater stores 40 to 50 gallons and keeps it hot continuously; a tankless unit heats water on demand as it passes through. They fail in different ways. Tanks develop sediment, corrosion, and leaks; tankless units are more likely to throw error codes from scale buildup on the heat exchanger, a flow sensor, or an ignition fault. This page covers tank repairs. If you have a wall-mounted on-demand unit, see our tankless water heater repair page instead, and if your tank is due for replacement anyway, ask us whether going tankless makes sense for your household.
If your water heater stops working, we provide emergency repair services to restore your hot water fast.
