Tank leaking right now? (320) 400-0991
A water heater usually gives you warning. Tell us what changed and we will bring what we need.
Could be the element, the thermocouple, the gas valve or the breaker. Diagnosis first, parts second.
A leaking tank does not recover. Shut the supply to it and call before it lets go properly.
Sediment, a failed lower element or simply a tank that is undersized for how the house is now used.
Sediment on the bottom of the tank boiling underneath. Worth dealing with before it cracks the lining.
Often the anode rod. A cheap part that protects an expensive tank, if it is caught in time.

It depends on tank size, fuel type and whether the connections need bringing up to code. You get an upfront price before any work, and you approve it first.
Roughly: if the tank itself is sound and it is a component that has failed, repair. If the tank is leaking, or it is near the end of its life and the repair is a big fraction of a new one, replace. We will give you both numbers.
Commonly ten to fifteen years, though hard water shortens that noticeably out here. Annual flushing helps.
Sometimes. It suits households that run hot water for long stretches, and it needs the gas and venting to support it. We will be straight about whether it makes sense in your house rather than selling it as an upgrade by default.
Yes. Shut the cold supply to the heater and call. A weeping tank tends to fail properly rather than gradually.
