“Chris Carr was absolutely amazing! My pipes had roots in them built up real bad and I was hoping we wouldn’t have to replace anything and him and his assistant and supervisor kicked ass and got my clean out taken care of and even gave us great tips to keep up on preventative care as well. He was very informative, fun to talk with and extremely personable, and even took care to clean up after the job super well! We’ll definitely be using them in the future!”

“This was our second time using Five Star Home Care in Xenia, and they were just as great as the first. We had a clogged shower drain on a Sunday and were surprised to book an appointment that same morning! James Ashley, our technician, was professional, polite, and efficient. He cleared the drain, checked our pipes, and left the area spotless. Big thanks to Alexis for her help setting everything up. Highly recommend James and the Five Star team!”

“Chris did an amazing job! Our system was badly backed up just days after our home warranty expired. He and two other techs worked nearly 10 hours yesterday and Chris returned today for two more. What should’ve cost nearly $1,000 was cut in half thanks to the team’s generosity—and Chris’s hard work likely saved us from an $8,000 repair. Reminder: stay on top of roots in your lines—they can get out of control fast!”

Frequently Asked Water Heater Repair Questions

You’ve got questions? We’ve got answers!

At Five Star Home Services, our water heater repair experts often encounter issues like inconsistent water temperature, strange noises, leaks, and rusty water. If you notice any of these signs, it may be time for a water heater repair.

Strange noises from your water heater can indicate sediment buildup or a failing heating element. Our water heater repair specialists at Five Star Home Services can diagnose and fix these problems, preventing further damage.

If your water heater stops producing hot water, it could be due to a faulty thermostat or heating element. Contact Five Star Home Services for expert water heater repair to restore your hot water supply promptly.

Regular maintenance is key to preventing water heater repair. We recommend having your water heater inspected and serviced at least once a year to ensure it operates efficiently and to catch any potential issues early.

To prevent leaks, regular inspections and maintenance by our water heater repair team are essential. We can check for loose connections and sediment buildup, which are common causes of leaks.

Our water heater repair experts can help you decide whether water heater repair or water heater replacement is the best option. If your unit is over 10 years old or requires frequent water heater repairs, water heater replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run.

Look out for signs such as inconsistent water temperatures, unusual noises, or leaks around the water heater. If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to call Five Star Home Services for water heater maintenance. Our expert technicians will diagnose and fix any problems to keep your system running smoothly.

Water heater maintenance by Five Star Home Services includes inspecting the tank for leaks, checking the pressure relief valve, flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup, and ensuring the thermostat is set correctly. Our technicians conduct a thorough inspection to ensure your water heater is in optimal condition.

Regular water heater maintenance can save you money by preventing costly repairs and extending the lifespan of your water heater. A well-maintained water heater operates more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and lowering your utility bills. Trust Five Star Home Services to keep your water heater in top shape.
