SIGNS YOU NEED WATER HEATER REPAIR
A water heater failure is a major inconvenience for any home. Most families use hot water every day for showers, washing hands, and washing dishes, not to mention the occasional loads of laundry or various other water- related tasks. Icy cold water isn’t used too often out of the tap, and it can be a shock when that is all you get out of your pipes! When your hot water heater is acting up or on the last leg of its life, you need fast solutions before ending up stranded without hot water in your home for days or even weeks. Sometimes a water heater issue is electrical and sometimes the issue is caused by something else. Below we will explore the most common issues your water heater may be facing and whether it is time to repair or replace your hot water heater.
WATER HEATER IS OLD Even a top-of-the-line water heater isn’t designed to last forever. If your water heater is more than 10 years old, it is likely nearly the end of its lifespan and will need to be replaced soon.
Water Heater is Leaking A leaking water heater can cause major damage to your home. Even the smallest of leaks can grow larger over time, leading to possible water damage or mold growth in your home. It is always best to make sure minor leaks are repaired as soon as they are detected to prevent any of these major problems from developing. Rusty Water Rust-colored water flowing from your hot water faucet is a sign that the inside of your water heater could be damaged and rusting. However, rusty water could also be a sign of corroded pipes. An expert plumber will be able to help you determine the source of your rusty water and make the appropriate repairs to get clean water flowing in your home again. Unusual Noises When enough sediment is present, it can cause a banging sound when the water heater is in use. This can cause damage to the tank, so it’s a good idea to call a plumber right away if you notice this problem.
