Signs Your Water Heater Needs Attention
There are several indicators that your water heater may be malfunctioning. Catching these signs early can sometimes prevent the need for a complete replacement and allow for hot water heater repairs. However, if replacement is necessary, 1st Plumber experienced plumbers can handle the installation.
No Hot Water: The most obvious sign of a malfunctioning water heater is the absence of hot water. 1st Plumber will thoroughly inspect your water heater, including the pilot light, gas connections, thermocouple, and more, to determine the cause of the problem.
Minimal Hot Water: If your water isn’t as hot as it used to be or takes a long time to heat up, it’s a sign that your water heater is indicating potential future failure.
Leaking: If you notice water around your water heater’s pipes and main systems where it shouldn’t be, you might have a leak. While water heater leaks may not immediately cause issues, they can lead to water damage or increased utility bills over time.
Dirty or Smelly Water: The water from your faucets should always be clear and odorless. If it’s not, there may be an issue with your plumbing. Cloudy water can result from mineral deposits in your water heater, while foul odors could be due to bacteria growth.
Loud Noises or Strange Sounds: Your water heating system should operate quietly. Unusual noises can be a sign of mineral deposits, calcium, or dirt buildup in your heater’s tank near critical components. Ignoring this can lead to component breakdown.
