West Jordan Grew Fast, and So Did Its Water Heaters
West Jordan went from about 4,000 people in 1970 to over 116,000 by 2020. The typical home here was built around 1995, which means plenty of houses are on their second or third water heater by now, and some are still running one that's well past its prime.
Most of the city's water comes from Jordan Valley Water, with the rest from city wells. Hardness swings depending on the source, and we've seen water up to 25 grains here. That's the stuff that builds sediment in the bottom of your tank and eats away at the parts.
West Jordan is a quick drive from our shop in Sandy, and we've done plenty of water heater swaps here.
What We Fix Most in West Jordan
These are the calls we get over and over from West Jordan homes.
Tank leaking from the bottom
If the water is coming from the tank itself, it can't be fixed. If it's the drain valve, a fitting, or the relief valve, it's usually a quick repair.
Lukewarm water
A dip tube that's broken down, a burner choked with sediment, or a thermostat on its way out. We test before we guess.
Rumbling and popping
Hard water leaves a layer of sediment in the bottom. The burner has to heat through it, and the tank pops like a pot of rice.
No expansion tank
Homes with a pressure regulator need an expansion tank. Without one, every heat cycle pushes extra pressure on the tank and the relief valve.
Pilot keeps going out
Usually a thermocouple or flame sensor. Often a same visit fix.
Second time around
Houses from the 90s are often on their second tank, and those were sometimes put in fast and cheap. We redo the shortcuts when we replace it.
A Few Things to Try First
These are worth a minute before you book a visit.
- Peek at the pilot through the window at the bottom of the tank
- Check that the gas knob is set to On, not Pilot or Off
- Electric tank? Look for a tripped breaker, and don't keep resetting it
- Water on the floor? Close the cold water valve on top and keep things dry
- If you smell gas, get out first and call Enbridge Gas or 911 once you're outside
Weekdays from 9am to 5pm, it's $39 for us to come out and pin down the problem. Hire us for the repair and that $39 goes toward it.
Nights, weekends, and holidays: $99.

West Jordan Water Heater FAQs
How much is water heater repair in West Jordan?
A weekday diagnostic is $39 and goes toward the repair. Most repairs are $87 to $450. A gas valve or burner assembly runs $650 to $1,500. You see the number in writing first.
My water heater is from the 2000s. Repair or replace?
If it's one part and the tank isn't leaking, a repair is usually fine. If it's over 10 years old and needs a gas valve or the tank is leaking, we'll show you why a new one is the better spend.
Why is there sand in my faucet aerators?
Often it's a broken down dip tube inside the water heater, or sediment getting stirred up from the bottom of the tank. We can check it on the same visit.
Does West Jordan have hard water?
Yes. Hardness varies by source, and we've seen water up to 25 grains in West Jordan. A yearly flush keeps the sediment down, and it's part of our $29 plumbing tune-up.
How soon can you get to West Jordan?
Usually same day or next day. Weekdays 9 to 5 it's a $39 service call that goes toward the repair. Nights and weekends are $99.
