Common Water Heater Issues

Understanding common problems helps homeowners identify when professional service is needed:

1. Inconsistent Water Temperature

Fluctuating water temperatures may indicate thermostat issues, sediment buildup, or a failing heating element. Professional repair restores consistent hot water.

2. Leaks

Leaks can occur from the tank, supply lines, or pressure relief valve. Even small leaks can cause water damage and reduce system efficiency.

3. No Hot Water

A water heater that fails to produce hot water can result from electrical or gas supply issues, broken heating elements, or faulty thermostats.

4. Strange Noises

Banging, popping, or hissing sounds are often caused by sediment buildup in the tank. Professional flushing and maintenance resolve these issues.

5. Rusty Water

Discolored or rusty water may indicate corrosion inside the tank, which can affect water quality and damage plumbing fixtures.

6. Pressure or Temperature Problems

Faulty pressure relief valves or thermostat issues can create unsafe pressure or temperature fluctuations. Professional inspection ensures safe operation.
