Water Heater Repaired by Plumber at Sunglade was the right solution for this homeowner after their water heater suddenly stopped working and showed signs of having an unusually short lifespan.
At Sunglade, the homeowner contacted us because their water heater was no longer heating properly. The unit had also not lasted as long as expected, which raised concerns that there could be an underlying installation or electrical issue. Our plumber, working under Homeone’s PUB Licensed Plumber framework, attended the site assessment to check the condition of the water heater and related connections.
After inspection, the heating element was identified as the faulty component and was promptly replaced. The entire job, including the heating element replacement, was completed within 2 hours. This included a functional test covering temperature performance and water pressure checks, ensuring the water heater was operating correctly and safely before our plumber left the premises.
In many cases, when a heater stops working within a short period, the issue may not only be the internal part itself.
For this Sunglade case, the faulty heating element was identified as the main cause, and the repair service helped restore the system safely. A proper site assessment is important because it allows the actual fault to be identified before further damage happens or unsafe conditions continue.
If your water heater is not working, keeps tripping, has a leaking tank, or seems to have failed too early, it is best to get it checked properly. The assessment can help identify whether the issue is caused by the heating element, wiring, heater switch, or tank condition before the problem becomes worse.
Homeowners should also know that if there are any changes to the water piping, PUB submission is required. This is important to help ensure that the replacement or installation complies with SS 636 Code of Practice for Water Services. Proper compliance is not just about getting the heater to work again, but also about making sure the system is safe, reliable, and installed correctly.
After the job, a PUB Certificate was issued to confirm that the installation complies with:
This is not just paperwork.
It ensures the installation is safe and protects the homeowner from risks such as water contamination, leaks, electrical faults, or worse — incidents that could lead to injury or property damage.
It also protects your insurance coverage. Work done without proper licensing and certification may not be claimable.
Common signs include no hot water, frequent tripping, leaking tank, or a short lifespan. A proper check helps confirm the actual fault.
It may be caused by faulty wiring, wrong cable size, heater switch issues, or a damaged heating element.
The heating element heats the water. It may fail due to age, wear, electrical issues, or improper installation.
Minor faults such as heating element issues may be repaired. Older or leaking units may need replacement instead.
