Common water heater problems here
The clearest limescale pattern — a little worse every week over a few months.
Scale build-up reduces how much of the tank actually heats properly.
Sediment shifting inside the tank as it heats — a sign scale has built up badly.
Could be the thermostat, element, or ignition — worth a proper diagnosis rather than a guess.
Often means the tank itself is starting to corrode, which usually means replacement.
Common fault, usually the thermocouple — a straightforward repair.
Boilers in Riviera del Sol — what to expect
A lot of the water heaters we see here are the same age as the house — 20, sometimes 30 years old. That's a long time for hard water to work on a heating element, and it explains why so many calls start with "it's just been getting worse."
If we catch it while it's still a scale problem rather than a corrosion problem, a descale or element swap usually sorts it. If the tank itself has started to go, we'll say so plainly rather than repairing something that's going to fail again in a few months.

FAQ — water heater Riviera del Sol
My hot water has been getting weaker for months. Why?+
That slow decline is the classic sign of limescale coating the heating element or heat exchanger. It builds up gradually, so the water gets a little cooler and a little slower every few weeks until you finally notice.
Is it worth fixing an old boiler?+
Depends on age and what's actually wrong. If it's the element or thermostat, repair usually makes sense. If the tank itself is corroding, that's a sign to replace rather than keep patching it.
Can descaling actually help?+
Yes, for units caught early. Once the tank has heavy scale build-up for years, descaling has limits — we'll tell you honestly which situation you're in.
How fast can someone come out?+
No hot water isn't usually a same-hour emergency, but we treat it as a priority. Most visits happen within a day or two.
