When To Call the Professionals

For the most part, trying to DIY water heater maintenance isn’t a good idea for the average homeowner. Any problems you have are best dealt with by a professional. Signs that your water heater might need to be looked at by a professional include: 

• No hot water: The most obvious would be if you suddenly run out of hot water. If your tank has had ample time to fill and hasn’t been used excessively before, there’s likely something wrong.

• Brownish or stinky water from your plumbing: If the water that comes out looks or tastes dirty, that’s also an issue. It could be a matter of age, with rust dissolving into your tank’s water supply. It could also mean that an animal or the like found its way inside and is decomposing. Whatever the problem’s root, it’s best to have a professional check it out.

• Water heater making noise: A noisy water heater might also cause concern. While a wooshing or even banging noise can simply mean your tank is filling, frequent loud sounds like grinding, rattling, or whistling could indicate something out of the ordinary. Likewise, any kind of leak needs to be handled ASAP. Not only does that waste water and lower your heater’s efficiency, it can also cause rot, rust, and so many other bad things.
