A Young City With Aging Water Heaters
South Jordan has always been about water. The town only incorporated in 1935 because that was the way to get a federal grant for a water tank. Back in 1970 it had fewer than 3,000 people. By 2020 it had over 77,000.
Most of that growth is recent. The typical house here was built around 2007, and Daybreak started going up in 2004. That sounds new, but a water heater put in during 2005 to 2010 is now 15 to 20 years old, and a lot of those were builder grade tanks to begin with.
The city buys its drinking water from Jordan Valley Water and delivers it through its own pipes. We've seen water up to 25 grains of hardness in South Jordan, and that scale is what wears out tanks and clogs tankless units.
What South Jordan Homeowners Call Us About
These are the water heater problems we see most in South Jordan.
The original builder tank
If your home is from the Daybreak boom, the first water heater is likely due. Leaks and slow recovery are the usual first signs.
Tankless shutting down
Scale buildup in the heat exchanger trips error codes and cuts flow. A yearly descale keeps them running.
Hot water runs out fast
Big families and big tubs push a 50 gallon tank past its limit. Sometimes the fix is a part, sometimes it's a bigger unit.
Expansion tank failed
Expansion tanks wear out too. When the bladder fails, pressure spikes every heat cycle and the relief valve starts to drip.
Pilot or igniter problems
Thermocouples, igniters, and flame sensors. Most are a one visit fix.
Power vent faults
Many newer homes have power vent water heaters. A bad fan, pressure switch, or blocked vent will shut them off.
Quick Checks First
Try these before you schedule a visit.
- Power vent unit? Make sure it's plugged in and the outlet has power
- Tankless: note the error code on the front panel
- Gas tank: look for the pilot through the window near the bottom
- Leak? Shut off the cold water supply on top of the tank
- Smell gas? Get out of the house first, then call Enbridge Gas or 911
From 9am to 5pm on weekdays, it's $39 for us to come diagnose it. When you have us do the repair, we put that $39 toward it.
Nights, weekends, and holidays: $99.

The Daybreak Water Heater Wave
Builders put the same type of water heater in hundreds of homes at a time. That's why a whole neighborhood can start having water heater trouble in the same couple of years, and a lot of South Jordan is hitting that age now.
If yours is 12 years old or more, it's worth having it looked at before it leaks. Rebates can help when it's time to replace. Enbridge ThermWise pays $300 on a qualifying gas tankless and $100 on an ENERGY STAR gas tank.

South Jordan Water Heater FAQs
How much is water heater repair in South Jordan?
A weekday diagnostic is $39 and goes toward the repair. Most repairs are $87 to $450. A gas valve or burner assembly is $650 to $1,500. The price is in writing before we start.
My home is in Daybreak. Is my water heater due?
If it's the original and the home was built before about 2012, it's getting up there. Most tanks last 10 to 15 years here. We can check it and tell you honestly how it looks.
Do you service tankless water heaters?
Yes. We repair, descale, and replace tankless units, and we install Navien. Hard water makes a yearly descale a good idea.
What's a power vent water heater?
It uses a fan to push exhaust out a side wall instead of up a chimney. If the fan or a switch fails, the unit won't fire. We fix those too.
How quickly can you come to South Jordan?
Usually same day or next day. Weekdays 9 to 5 it's $39 and goes toward the repair. Nights and weekends are $99.
