If your gas water heater's pilot light keeps going out or won't relight, the most common culprit is a failing thermocouple — the safety sensor that tells the gas valve the pilot is lit. When it weakens, it shuts the gas off as a safety measure. We test the thermocouple, gas valve, and pilot assembly, clean or replace what's failed, and relight the unit safely. If you ever smell gas, leave the house and call from outside.
A thermocouple is an inexpensive part, and replacing it is a routine, affordable repair — so a pilot that won't stay lit rarely means you need a new heater. Sometimes the fix is even simpler: a dirty pilot orifice or a draft can cause the same symptom. We confirm the actual cause rather than swapping parts blindly, and we handle the gas safely. The one thing we always stress: don't keep forcing a unit that repeatedly drops its pilot, since that can mask a genuine safety issue worth diagnosing.
