Why Water Heaters Fail Early in the Portland Area
Here is where our background matters. Hard water and high mineral or iron content, common in Portland area homes and especially on private wells, cause sediment and scale to build up inside a water heater. That buildup reduces efficiency, creates the rumbling sound many homeowners hear, and shortens the life of the unit. Because Fontus started in water treatment, we can tell whether your water heater simply needs a repair or whether your water quality is the underlying problem.
Repair or Replace?
If your unit is relatively new and the problem is a specific component such as a heating element, thermostat, valve, or thermocouple, a repair is often the best value. If the tank itself is leaking or the unit is well past its service life, replacement usually makes more sense. We inspect it and give you a straight answer.
