A lot of Langley homes went up between the late 1970s and the 1990s, and many of them are now on their second or third water heater. Tanks commonly last around eight to twelve years, and the install date is on the label or coded into the serial number.

Signs your hot water tank needs replacing

Some of these can be fixed with a repair. Others mean the tank itself is finished. We will tell you which, honestly, before you spend anything.

• Water pooling around the base of the tank, or a leak from the tank itself rather than a fitting.
• Rusty or discoloured hot water, while the cold water runs clear.
• Running out of hot water sooner than you used to.
• Popping or rumbling from the tank as it heats, usually sediment built up in the bottom.
• A tank past about ten to twelve years old, even if it still works.

What a replacement usually involves

A like-for-like swap is the simplest job. Older installs often need a few things brought up to current code at the same time, such as an expansion tank, seismic strapping, updated venting or a drain pan. Those are safety items, not upsells, and they are itemized on the quote so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

Thinking about going tankless instead? It costs more upfront but heats water only when you need it and frees up floor space. Our cost guide and our tank vs. tankless guide below walk through both options.
