No hot water in the morning, a puddle forming under your water heater, or strange rumbling sounds from the tank. These problems need prompt attention before a minor issue turns into a full failure or flood.
Stars and Pipes Plumbing Atlanta repairs both gas and electric water heaters for homeowners across Gwinnett County and the surrounding Metro Atlanta area to restore hot water and extend the life of your unit.
Common Water Heater Problems
A lack of hot water can be caused by a failed heating element, a tripped thermostat, or a malfunctioning gas control valve. Rumbling or popping noises from the tank typically indicate sediment buildup on the bottom, which reduces efficiency and can overheat the tank lining.
Water pooling around the base of the heater may come from a leaking drain valve, a failing T&P relief valve, or corrosion in the tank itself.
Rusty or discolored hot water usually means the anode rod has deteriorated and the tank interior is starting to corrode.

What We Do
We diagnose the specific problem with your water heater and determine whether a repair will resolve it or whether the unit is beyond saving.
Common repairs include replacing heating elements, thermostats, anode rods, T&P relief valves, and gas control valves. We also flush tanks to remove sediment buildup and improve heating efficiency.
If the tank itself is leaking, that usually means the internal lining has corroded through and replacement is the only option. We’ll give you a clear recommendation either way.
Serving Gwinnett County and Metro Atlanta
Stars and Pipes Plumbing Atlanta repairs water heaters throughout Gwinnett County, including Lilburn, Lawrenceville, Dacula, and Snellville.
We also serve Fulton County homeowners in Johns Creek and Roswell, and DeKalb County areas including Stone Mountain and Decatur.
Sediment buildup is especially common in areas with harder water, which can shorten the lifespan of your water heater if the tank isn’t flushed periodically.
