Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair
Most of the time, you’ll notice something doesn’t seem right. The issue may be subtle or inconsistent. However, ignoring it will lead to bigger issues and possibly water heater failure. You can prevent this by calling a water heater repair company for the following issues:
- Inconsistent Hot Water Supply: Fluctuating water temperatures are inconvenient but are more subtle compared to some other issues. They could mean mineral deposits are building up in the water heater tank or the heating element is starting to go bad. A well-functioning water heater will keep your water supply at a consistent temperature.
- Unusual Noises: Noises from the unit can indicate a buildup of calcium and dirt at the bottom of the tank. They can be addressed by flushing the water heater. Otherwise, the tank could be damaged, requiring more expensive repairs. Call for help if you hear popping, rumbling, or high-pitched whining sounds from your water heater.
- Leaks and Water Damage: A leak can be as subtle as water trickling down the side of the tank. Hot water leakage can damage your home and lead to mold that can put the health of your family at risk. Water damage can affect floors, furnishings, and building materials and lead to extremely costly repairs and restorations.

Common Water Heater Issues
The most common issues we’re called out to address with water heaters include:
- Faulty Thermostat: A malfunctioning thermostat may provide poor control or send incorrect or no signals to the heating components. Water temperatures may be inconsistent, or you may not have hot water at all.
- Sediment Buildup: Sediment accumulation can reduce the capacity of the tank and affect heating efficiency. It can potentially damage the tank by corroding its lining; sediment can also get into water supply pipes and cause damage there.
- Pilot Light Issues: If the pilot light goes out frequently or it’s difficult to light, the water heater may have a faulty thermocouple or a bad gas valve. There could also be a problem with a burner or vent. No matter the cause, it can be hazardous, so don’t wait to call a repair contractor.
Also, call for assistance if water is taking longer to heat up, appears rusty or discolored, or isn’t flowing as strongly. Whether your water is cold or too hot, have the unit looked at by a professional.

Preventive Maintenance Tips
We’re here to address any problem. However, you can reduce the chances of needing water heater repair in San Jose with the following tips:
- Regular Flushing: Schedule routine flushing to prevent sediment buildup. The process should be left to a professional familiar with every step and who can spot any potential issues.
- Temperature Setting Guidance: The safest and most efficient setting is around 120℉. The default setting is usually 140℉, but this can result in scalding. Setting the unit below 120℉ increases the risk of bacteria.
- Timely Leak Detection: Finding and fixing leaks prevents water damage, mold, and high water bills. Call for help if you notice water dripping from a water heater, damp spots or discoloration on walls or ceilings, or spikes in water usage.
