Common Water Heater Problems We Fix

Your water heater will often display clear warning signs before it fails. Recognizing these symptoms and acting quickly can often lead to a simpler, less expensive repair. Ignoring them can result in a sudden loss of hot water, a major leak, or even the need for a full replacement.

Our skilled plumbers have seen it all and can expertly resolve any issue, including:

  • No Hot Water: This is the most common problem, often caused by a faulty pilot light or thermocouple on a gas unit, or a tripped breaker or failed heating element on an electric one.
  • Lukewarm Water: If your water isn't getting hot enough, it could be due to a miscalibrated thermostat, sediment buildup in the tank, or a failing heating element.
  • Leaking Tank: Water pooling around your unit is a serious issue. Leaks can come from pressure relief valves, fittings, or a crack in the tank itself, which often requires replacement.
  • Strange Noises: Popping or rumbling sounds are typically caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank hardening and breaking apart. Whining noises can indicate scale buildup on components.
  • Discolored or Smelly Water: Rusty water may indicate that the anode rod is failing or the inside of your tank is corroding. A rotten egg smell can be caused by bacteria in the tank.

If you notice any of these signs, don't wait for the problem to get worse.

The Dangers of DIY Water Heater Repair

While the idea of a quick fix is appealing, attempting to repair a water heater yourself is extremely risky and should be avoided. These appliances involve a dangerous combination of water, high pressure, and either high-voltage electricity or a live gas line, all of which require professional handling.

For gas water heaters, incorrect handling of the gas line can lead to leaks, creating a serious risk of fire or explosion. With electric models, there is a significant danger of severe electric shock. Furthermore, both types operate under pressure, and mishandling valves or connections can cause major, uncontrolled leaks.

Beyond the immediate safety risks, an improper repair can cause further damage to the unit or fail to address the underlying problem, leading to a recurring issue or a complete breakdown soon after. A licensed plumber has the tools, training, and experience to perform the job safely and correctly.
