Common Issues with Water Heaters

Water that is slow to heat or not hot at all is a common issue relevant to water heaters. However, these may not be the only signs you face when encountering problems. In fact, you may still have hot water, but observe other signs that your water heater is not working as it should. Here are some issues you might experience that indicate a faulty water heater.

Leaks

If you find water pooling around your water heater, this can indicate a problem. Water leakage is the most common issue regarding faulty water heaters because the water heater's pressurized system contains valves and other points from which water can leak.

Rusty Water

You may notice the water looks brown, rust-colored, or has a tinge of red when you turn on the hot water faucet, but not when you turn on only the cold water faucet. The discoloration indicates that there may be rust in the tank itself. Any steel metal in the tank is susceptible to corrosion when exposed to water. But with an anode rod installed, this protects the steel from corroding. However, when the anode rod fails, any steel metals inside the tank are now susceptible, and rust may leach into the water, causing discoloration.

Unfamiliar Noises

If you hear odd noises from the water heater, this is probably caused by mineral sediment build-up in the tank. Some minerals in the water supply settle to the tank's bottom after being heated. Eventually, the minerals form a hard-layered sediment that traps air pockets between the tank and its layer. When the minerals in the sediment are continually heated, the air pockets are released, causing the noise.

When to Call for Water Heater Repair Services in Lansdale

Don't wait to call for service if you have no hot water or still have hot water but signs indicate a problem with the water heater. Our water heater plumbers might resolve these issues with easy repairs. We may eliminate leaks by tightening up valves and nearby plumbing connections. Replacing the anode rod may rid your water of rust, while replacing the heating element or thermostat may restore your hot water or heat your water more quickly.

As you can see, these signs don't necessarily mean your water heater needs replacing. However, if the issues continue unresolved, they could lead to more costly repairs, like an entire water heater replacement. That's why calling for service is important when you notice signs that your water heater is not working as it should.
