Repairing and replacing hot water tanks in Edmonton, Alberta.
A cold shower in the middle of an Edmonton winter is never fun. When your hot water tank starts acting up, you need someone who can get to the bottom of it fast, and fix it right the first time.
At Apollo Plumbing, we’ve been keeping local homes and businesses supplied with hot water since 1969. Our certified technicians work on every major brand and type of water heater, so whether you need a quick repair, a full tank replacement, or a switch to a tankless system, we’ll walk you through your options in plain language.
If your unit is getting up there in years, it’s worth knowing how long hot water tanks typically last in Edmonton and the early warning signs it’s due for replacement before it quits on you mid-winter.
Common Hot Water Tank Problems
Signs of trouble we fix every day.
Hot water has a funny way of only being appreciated once it's gone. If your system is acting up, these are the most common culprits — and most can be sorted out before they turn into a full breakdown.
Cold or inconsistent water
If your shower turns cold halfway through, or your hot water just can't keep up, it's usually a sign your heating element, thermostat, or gas line needs a look.
Strange noises
Banging, popping, or rumbling from your tank often means sediment build-up. Left alone, it wears your tank out faster and drives up your energy bills.
Tank won't turn on
A pilot light that won't stay lit or a unit that won't fire up at all could be an electrical, ignition, or gas supply issue. Don't troubleshoot gas equipment yourself — give us a call.
Rising utility bills
If your energy bill is climbing and nothing else has changed, your water heater may be working overtime to keep up. We'll find the cause and the fix.
Rust-coloured water
Rusty or discoloured hot water is often an early warning sign of a corroding tank. Catching it early can save you from a sudden leak — or worse.
Leaks & pooling water
Water pooling around the base of your tank is never normal. It can point to a failing tank, valve, or fitting, and should be checked right away.

Time for a new tank?
Signs you need a new water heater
Even the best water heaters don't last forever. Watch for these warning signs that a replacement could save you money and hassle
Your tank is over 10–15 years old
Most hot water tanks start to need repairs after 10 to 15 years.
Heating bills steadily rising
Efficiency drops as components wear out, even with usage unchanged.
Frequent repairs needed
If you're calling in repairs multiple times a season, replacement is often cheaper long-term.
Rust-coloured water from the tap
Rusty water is a sign of corrosion building up inside the tank, and it usually means the tank itself is on its way out.
Water pooling around the base
Pooling water is often a sign the tank has cracked or failed internally, not just a loose fitting that can be tightened.
Maintenance
Prevent hot water tank problems with regular care.
Just like your car needs oil changes, your hot water tank needs a little upkeep to keep running smoothly and efficiently for years to come.
Flush your tank annually
Sediment builds up at the bottom of your tank over time. An annual flush keeps it running efficiently and helps it last longer.
Check the anode rod
This small part protects your tank from rust and corrosion from the inside out. A worn-out rod is an easy, inexpensive fix.
Inspect for leaks
Catching a small leak early can prevent a much bigger (and more expensive) problem down the road.
Know your warranty
Many tanks come with manufacturer warranties that cover parts or replacement. It's worth knowing what's covered before you pay out of pocket.
Follow manufacturer instructions
Every water heater is a little different. Always check your owner's manual, or just ask us — we're happy to help.
