Water Heater Repair Services in Flower Mound

Cowtown Water Heaters provides water heater repair and installation in Flower Mound, TX (serving homes from Wellington and Bridlewood to Canyon Falls and Twin Coves, across the 75022, 75027, and 75028 areas). Our team is experienced with units that stop heating, leak, or make noises. We complete most repairs in a single visit. Some take longer if we’re tracking down an intermittent problem or waiting on a part that’s not in the truck.

A water heater quits for specific reasons. The thermostat goes bad and the tank stays cold. The heating element burns out and you get five minutes of hot water before it turns lukewarm. The pressure relief valve starts dripping and leaves a puddle on the floor. The anode rod corrodes completely and the tank develops pinhole leaks. We’ve pulled apart units that failed after six years and others that made it past twenty. Age matters, but so does water quality and how hard the system works.

Properties in Flower Mound deal with the same hard water you’ll find across North Texas, with heavy mineral content that accelerates sediment buildup inside the tank. Flower Mound sources its water supply from Lake Lewisville, Lake Ray Roberts, and other surface water sources. The water is moderately hard to hard, which means mineral deposits accumulate quickly. The heating element is overworked when sediment builds up, which causes popping sounds. For example, a slab foundation built back in the eighties might have forty gallons of rusty water and sediment before we can see the bottom of the tank clearly.

How We Diagnose Your Water Heater Problems

Understanding which type of water heater is in your Flower Mound home is the first step toward knowing when you require professional service. We go through a 15-minute diagnostic process to determine if you need repair or replacement.

If you have an electric unit, we test components such as heating elements, junction box wiring, and thermostats. Conversely, we examine the burner assembly and venting system of gas water heaters.

Various factors influence whether we recommend a repair or replacement, such as your budget, the age of your unit, and any long-term risks it poses.

A good example is a 10-year-old water heater with a failing heating element. We view that as a repair candidate. However, a 15-year-old unit with a rusted tank will always prompt a replacement recommendation.

Some repairs we knock out the same day. Thermostat replacement takes about an hour including testing. Heating element swap runs similar. Pressure relief valve change takes thirty minutes. An anode rod replacement can take forty-five minutes or longer depending on the variables.

For example, if you need electrical panel upgrades, it will take much longer. Whether you’re off FM 2499 near The Flower Mound or out in the neighborhoods along Grapevine Lake, we handle service calls throughout the town’s 45 square miles.
