Water Heater Repair in Cedarville, IL
86% of households in Cedarville 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
Cedarville runs on gas: 86% of households heat that way, and that single fact rules most of the possible water heater faults in or out. The figure covers house heating rather than the tank. On a gas heater the suspects are the pilot, the thermocouple and the gas control valve, in that order.

What Cedarville runs on
A gas town, and clearly so. The parts that fail on a gas heater are the pilot assembly, the thermocouple that proves the flame, and eventually the gas control valve itself.
| Fuel | Share of households |
|---|---|
| Gas — mains and bottled | 86% |

US Census Bureau, ACS 5-year estimates 2023, table B25040 (house heating fuel). Based on 335 occupied housing units in the ZIP code areas that cover Cedarville.
On gas, Cedarville is close enough to the Illinois figure that the difference is inside the survey’s margin of error — so the state pattern is a fair guide here, which is not true everywhere.
Read that as a strong indicator rather than a measurement of water heaters. The Census counts what heats the house; what heats the water usually follows it, and occasionally does not.
Which one do you have
The quick test is the top of the tank. A vent pipe means combustion; no vent means elements. Work out which kind you have before you call, and the call gets much shorter.
After that it is the symptom that narrows things: nothing at all points one way, running out early another, and a puddle is the one to act on today.
