Our professional team is equipped to deal with all common water heater problems, such as:
Leaking: Leaks can impact any type of water heater. If you note any signs of leaking such as puddles under your water heater or in the nearby areas, contact the professionals to come examine your unit’s condition.
Oxidizing: Water heaters are immersed in the elements of heat and water, so they are particularly likely to develop rust. Though rust might seem relatively insignificant at first, it can start to corrode your unit’s metal and severely damage your unit as time goes on.
Temperature Issues: The warming components in your water heater are likely to show signs of wear and tear at some point. If you notice your unit is not releasing enough water, is providing colder water when in use, or can’t release hot water at all, a professional may need to replace your water heater’s heating components.
Dark Water: If the hot water your unit produces is discolored, your water heater’s anode may be rusting or breaking.
Odor: Bacterial infestations can make your unit dispense hot water with a moldy scent. A technician will be able to flush your unit and clean it to help prevent this issue from arising.
Loud Noises: Noises from your water heater may mean your heating components are failing. In this case, they will need to be replaced. Excessive sounds might also indicate an accumulation of sediment within your unit’s tank making noise as the water is warming. The team at Birmingham Plumbing, Heating & Cooling can effectively flush and clean the unit’s tank to clear out the sediment swiftly.

What causes hot water pressure to decrease?
Buildup of sediment or partially closed valves may be restricting water flow through the system. The deposits can gradually narrow the channels through which hot water passes.
Tiny air bubbles in the water can make it appear cloudy. Most of the time, things clear quickly when you let the water sit a little while.
Anytime we work on a water heater, we want to ensure that factory-installed safety devices are functioning properly. Most systems have a thermostatically controlled temperature and pressure relief valve in addition to thermostatic controls inside the tank.
Yes, we frequently recommend expansion tanks because they help regulate shifting pressures in a plumbing system. As water heats up, it expands, increasing pressure in the pipes. An expansion tank provides an added water volume somewhere else to go, helping to protect the water heater and reduce strain on the plumbing system.
We depend on insulation to contain the heat within the water heater tank; when insulation does its job properly, the heater does not have to reheat the water as frequently (hence improving efficiency and allowing the unit to keep up with hot-water demand).
Whenever we install gas water heaters, we pay special attention to the venting setup. Properly venting the gases combusted each time the system operates is essential to the safe operation of the appliance and to protecting indoor air quality.
