Raptor Plumbing: Tankless Water Heater Repair & Sewer Camera Inspections
Raptor Plumbing’s Guide to Tankless Repair and Camera Service
At Raptor Plumbing, we love helping our neighbors keep their homes running smoothly. Two services that make a big difference for reliability and peace of mind are tankless water heater repair and in-pipe camera inspections. Here’s what every homeowner should know, plus how to spot problems early and avoid surprises.
Tankless Water Heater Repair: Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
- Inconsistent hot water: Hot and cold “sandwich” temperatures, or hot water that suddenly cuts out.
- Error codes on the unit: Frequent resets or blinking lights indicate a sensor, ignition, or flow issue.
- Delayed hot water: Longer waits can point to scale buildup, a clogged filter, or flow sensor problems.
- Odd noises or smells: Rumbling, whistling, or gas-like odors require prompt attention.
- Higher utility bills: A drop in efficiency often means mineral scale or combustion issues.
Tankless systems are efficient, but they need periodic maintenance. Many units benefit from descaling, filter cleaning, condensate drain checks, and combustion tune-ups. Raptor Plumbing’s technicians service all major brands and can diagnose ignition failures, flame sensor problems, venting issues, and flow restrictions on the spot.
How Preventive Care Extends the Life of Your Tankless System
- Annual descaling in areas with hard water helps maintain efficiency and protect heat exchangers.
- Cleaning inlet screens and checking flow sensors improves performance and reduces error codes.
- Venting inspection ensures safe operation and proper combustion.
- Water quality solutions, like a scale reducer, can prevent frequent repairs.
If you’re unsure when your unit was last serviced, Raptor Plumbing can perform a health check and set you up with a simple maintenance plan.
Camera Service: See Inside Your Pipes Before Problems Grow
Our camera inspections give a clear, real-time look inside sewer and drain lines. This non-invasive service helps us find the exact cause and location of clogs, leaks, or pipe damage without guesswork or unnecessary digging.
- Pinpoint clogs and roots: Identify grease buildup, foreign objects, or root intrusion.
- Verify pipe condition: Spot cracks, offsets, corrosion, or bellies in the line.
- Preventative insight: Catch small issues before they become backups or breaks.
- Documentation: Get video and notes to support insurance claims or real estate transactions.
