Signs Your Water Heater Needs Professional Repair
Recognizing early warning signs can save you from costly breakdowns and emergency replacements. If you experience any of the following, it’s time to schedule a professional inspection with our certified technicians.
Inconsistent or Lukewarm Water
If your water never gets hot enough or runs out faster than before, it may indicate a problem with the heating components. In gas models, a faulty thermocouple or malfunctioning gas control valve may be to blame. Electric models often experience heating element failures. Sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank can also insulate water from the heat source, reducing efficiency.
Strange Noises
Your water heater should operate quietly. Popping, rumbling, hissing, or crackling sounds typically signal hardened mineral sediment at the tank’s base. As heat boils trapped water beneath the sediment layer, the resulting noise reduces efficiency and puts stress on the tank, potentially causing cracks or leaks.
Discolored or Smelly Water
Rusty, brown, or metallic-smelling hot water often indicates internal corrosion. This typically means the anode rod is depleted and the tank itself is starting to rust, which can lead to leaks and eventual failure.
Visible Leaks or Moisture
Water pooling at the base of your heater needs immediate attention. Leaks may stem from the T&P valve, drain valve, or inlet/outlet connections. If the leak is from the tank itself, internal corrosion is the likely cause, and full replacement is necessary.
Pilot Light Issues (Gas Models)
A pilot light that repeatedly goes out may be caused by a faulty thermocouple, dirty pilot orifice, or gas control valve problems. Due to the risks involved with gas lines, these issues should be addressed by a professional.
