Answers to Common Questions
View All FAQsWhy Is My Water Heater Not Heating Up Despite Resetting the Button?
Most often, the reset trips because the tank overheated from a bad thermostat, failed heating element, or heavy sediment. A tripped breaker or loose wiring can also stop an electric heater. For gas units, no gas, a closed valve, or an unlit igniter can halt heating. If it won’t stay on after a reset, parts likely need repair or replacement. We service all makes and models and handle flushing, leak checks, and repairs in Lewisville and nearby.
Quick checks:
- Check the breaker and firmly reset it.
- Verify the gas valve is open; relight per the manual.
- Power off, cool 30–60 minutes, then press reset once.
- Look for leaks at valves and fittings.

If your water heater is leaking from the top, shut off the cold-water valve and cut power to the unit. For electric, switch off the breaker. For gas, set the control to Off or Pilot. Top leaks usually come from inlet/outlet fittings, the T&P valve, or the anode port. Do not overtighten valves. Our technicians can diagnose and repair, replace failing parts, or recommend an energy-efficient replacement. We offer emergency service and service all makes and models.
Quick checks:
- Turn off water and power.
- Place a bucket/towels to catch water.
- Call for same-day repair.

Turn off the water and power, then call for service. A leak from the bottom often points to a failing tank, drain valve, or internal seal, and it can worsen quickly. Southern Comfort Mechanical handles water heater repairs, emergency services, leak detection, and replacements for all brands in Denton and nearby cities.
Quick steps:
- Close the cold-water shutoff valve to the heater.
- Turn off power at the breaker (electric) or set gas to “Off.”
- Avoid using hot water to limit pressure.
- Place towels or a pan to contain water and note where the leak starts.

If your water heater is not producing hot water, verify the unit has power or gas before anything else. The most common cause is a tripped breaker (electric) or a gas unit that failed to ignite; control issues and heavy sediment can also stop heating. A cold-water crossover from a stuck mixing valve can mimic a dead heater and fool even seasoned DIYers. If the tank is older or needs frequent repairs, replacement can be the smarter long-term choice. Our plumbers handle these checks and repairs for homeowners in Irving every day.
- Electric: reset the breaker and press the heater’s reset button.
- Gas: confirm the gas valve is on and relight/verify ignition per the label.
- Set the thermostat near 120°F and run one hot tap fully to test.
- If you see leaks or error codes, stop and call a licensed plumber.
If you smell gas, see active leaking, or the reset trips again, shut off power/gas and water and call a professional. <br/> Updated: 2026-04-03 <br/> Need help in Irving, TX? Call (469) 515-7987 or book online.
