I used whips as a second opinion after I was told our main drain needed completely replaced by another company. Gary came out along with Craig and they used a camera down our drain that showed zero breaks!

5Reviewed for no hot water

He put in new drain lines for a new bathroom. That meant cutting into the cement to open up the floor to see where existing lines were. The water table was so high there, we had to keep pumping out the water.

Common No Hot Water Scenarios

Check the Pilot Light

For gas water heaters: look through the viewing window. If the pilot is out, follow the relighting instructions on the unit. If it won't stay lit, the thermocouple may need replacing.

Check the Breaker

For electric water heaters: check if the breaker tripped. Reset it once. If it trips again, there's an electrical issue — call a plumber.

Check for Leaks

Look around the base of the water heater for pooling water. A leaking tank is urgent and may need replacement.

Wait 30 Minutes

If the water heater was recently turned off or the pilot went out, it takes 30-60 minutes to reheat. If hot water doesn't return, call a pro.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have no hot water?
Common causes: tripped breaker or blown fuse (electric), pilot light out (gas), failed thermostat, broken heating element, sediment buildup, or a leaking tank. Age is also a factor — water heaters last 8-12 years.
Is no hot water an emergency?
It's urgent but not dangerous (unlike a gas leak). In Wooster during cold months, no hot water is more urgent — frozen pipe risk increases. Most water heater pros in Wayne County offer same-day repair.
How much does it cost to fix no hot water in Wooster?
Common fixes: thermostat replacement $100-$200, heating element $150-$300, thermocouple $100-$200. If the tank itself is leaking, replacement runs $1,200-$3,500 depending on type and size.
How long does water heater repair take?
Most water heater repairs in Wooster take 1-2 hours. Element or thermostat replacement is quick. Full water heater replacement takes 2-4 hours for a tank unit, 4-8 hours for tankless conversion.
