Let Us Solve Problems With Water Heater RepairWhat's Wrong With Your Water Heater?
Water heater problems aren't always obvious. Some issues creep up slowly, while others strike without warning. Knowing what to look for can help you pinpoint the right time to schedule water heater service.
Some signs of water heater problems will immediately alert you to the need for repair service. For example, if only your hot water smells pungent, it's a sure sign of an issue with bacteria growth, which is especially common in tanks that have sat unused. Discolored or rusty water, on the other hand, is usually an indicator of corrosion on your tank's interior or a faulty anode rod.
Other signs of a struggling water heating unit include the following.
No Hot Water
A total lack of hot water can point to a faulty heating element, a broken thermostat, or electrical and gas supply issues.
Water Takes Too Long to Heat
Does it seem like it's taking forever for your water to heat up? Sediment buildup in your tank or malfunctioning components might be to blame.
Unreliable Water Temperature
When your thermostat or dip tube is broken and doesn't interpret water temperatures correctly, you may find your water scalding one moment and lukewarm the next, or it might not heat at all.
Leaking Hot Water Tank or Water Pooling Around the Unit Base
Tank leaks and pools of water around your unit's base usually point to corrosion, valve failure, or high water pressure.
Loud Sounds During Water Heater Operation
Your hot water tank and components shouldn't make banging or rumbling sounds during operation. These noises typically result from sediment buildup that heats up and hardens inside your tank.
