Why Is My Water Heater Not Heating Up Despite Resetting the Button?

We serve Brownsburg, Indianapolis, and nearby with 24/7 emergency help and same-day service when possible. Quick checks: - Confirm the temperature setting is correct. - Verify the pilot light is lit. - Listen for popping/boiling noises that suggest sediment. - If you see leaks or wiring damage, stop and call a pro.
