Answers to Common Questions
View All FAQsWhy Is My Water Heater Not Heating Up Despite Resetting the Button?
Resetting the button won’t fix issues like sediment buildup, a failed pilot light, incorrect wiring, poor ventilation, or a stuck pressure valve. Leaks, rust, cracks, or loose connections can also stop heating. Tank models often need a flush to remove sediment. Tankless units can fault if maintenance is overdue. Our Valparaiso and Chesterton plumbers can perform a multi-point inspection to confirm the exact cause and restore hot water.
- Check the pilot light (gas).
- Confirm the temperature setting.
- Look for leaks or rust.
- Ensure vents are clear; schedule a flush if sediment is suspected.

Shut off the water and power, then call for service. A leak from the top usually points to a loose cold/hot supply connection, a faulty T&P valve connection, or a leaking anode/fitting. We handle fast repairs and replacements, including tankless, 24/7 in Chesterton and Valparaiso.
Quick steps:
- Turn off cold-water valve on top of the heater.
- Cut power: switch off breaker (electric) or set gas to pilot (gas).
- Place a bucket/towels. Do not open panels.
- Note where you see moisture on top.
