- Cold or lukewarm water

What's Causing Your Water Heater Trouble
Water heater problems often trace back to age, sediment buildup, or wear on internal parts like the heating element or thermostat. Charleston’s humidity and mineral-heavy water can speed up corrosion inside the tank, especially in units that are several years old. Salt air near the coast can also take a toll on exterior components over time.
Sometimes the issue is simpler, like a tripped breaker or a pilot light that will not stay lit. Other times it points to a failing part that needs replacing before it causes a leak or total breakdown. Either way, our team can pinpoint the cause quickly so you are not left guessing.
How We Fix Your Water Heater
When you call Palmetto Plumbing, Drain Cleaning, and Water Heater Repair, we start by listening to what you are experiencing and asking a few quick questions to narrow down the problem. Once we arrive, we run a full inspection of your unit, checking the tank, connections, and key components for wear or damage. We explain what we find in plain language, so you always know what is going on with your system.
From there, we walk you through your repair options and what each one involves. We do not believe in pushing unnecessary work, so if a simple fix will do the job, that is what we recommend. Once you give us the go ahead, we get to work and make sure everything is running properly before we leave.
