Answers to Common Questions
View All FAQsWhy Is My Water Heater Not Heating Up Despite Resetting the Button?
Resetting the button won’t restore heat if the root cause remains. Common causes include a tripped high‑limit switch from overheating, failed thermostat or heating element (electric), pilot/ignition or gas supply issues (gas), or heavy sediment that insulates the burner. Ken’s Plumbing can diagnose and fix leaks, replace elements/thermostats, and flush sediment. We’re available 24/7 in Greenville, SC.
Quick checks:
- Verify the breaker or gas shutoff is on.
- Don’t keep pressing reset if it trips again.
- Look for leaks or corrosion.
- Note any error lights/codes.

Turn off power or gas, close the cold-water valve on top, and call Ken’s Plumbing for fast service. A top leak often points to inlet/outlet fittings, the T&P valve connection, or the anode/vent area. We handle leak repairs, flushing, anode-rod replacement, and full replacements, and we’re available 24/7. Service is local to Greenville and nearby cities like Greer and Simpsonville.
Quick steps:
- Electric: switch off breaker. Gas: set control to off.
- Close the cold-water shutoff valve.
- Clean up water and note where the drip starts.

If your water heater isn’t producing hot water, start by confirming power or gas is on, then check the thermostat setting and hit the unit’s reset if present. Most no‑hot‑water issues come from a tripped breaker, an extinguished pilot/igniter fault, or a thermostat set too low. If a reset briefly fixes it, the likely culprits are a failing heating element or a bad thermostat. We handle diagnostics and repairs for both tank and tankless units, and we routinely serve homeowners near Travelers Rest. If basic checks don’t restore hot water—or you see leaking—schedule service; older or leaking tanks often make replacement the safer choice.
Try these quick checks before calling:
- Electric: reset the breaker and the red high‑limit button on the heater.
- Gas: confirm the gas valve is open and relight/verify the pilot or igniter.
- Tankless: note any error code and clean the cold‑water inlet screen.
- After heavy use, wait for recovery and test again. Exactly one safety step: if you smell gas, hear hissing, or see active leaking, shut off utilities and call a professional immediately. <br/>
