Water Heater Repair in Dacula, GA
67% of households in Dacula heat with gas. That is the strongest free clue to what kind of water heater is in your basement, and it decides which faults are even possible.
Answer first
67% of Dacula households burn gas for heat, and a water heater almost always sits on whatever line the furnace already uses. That is house heating fuel, so read it as a strong hint rather than as a reading of your own tank. On a gas heater the suspects are the pilot, the thermocouple and the gas control valve, in that order.

The Georgia average is 15 points higher, so the state figure would mislead you about this town.
Strictly, the survey asks what heats the home. Water heating almost always runs on the same supply, but the two can differ in one house without differing in the town.
Which one do you have
The quick test is the top of the tank. A vent pipe means combustion; no vent means elements. Knowing which of the two you own is the difference between a diagnosis and a guess.
The symptom does the rest of the work. Hot water that quits early is the most informative of them; a leak from the tank itself is the most urgent.
