With our hot water services available whenever you need them, don’t hesitate to call our team to have your water heater repaired or replaced.

Common Water Heater Issues

Not every sign is as obvious when it comes to your hot water heater needing maintenance or replacement. Some common hot water heater issues to keep an eye out for include:

Warming Issues: Of course, some of the most obvious signs that there’s an issue with your hot water heater is when your water takes an increasingly long time to get hot, or the hot water doesn’t last for long. If you’re having warming issues, this means your heater either needs maintenance or it’s giving out and might need replacement. To find the cause, contact one of our technicians to assess the issue.

Leaks: Leaks are never a good sign, especially with a hot water heater. If you notice puddles, droplets collecting, or an apparent leak, contact a plumber ASAP. Leaks can be problematic because you don’t know how quickly they will worsen or the damage they’ll cause. In addition, leaks that have gone a while without being noticed can cause problems like mold or mildew growth.

Rust: Because hot water heaters deal with moisture, they’re highly susceptible to rust. The older your hot water heater gets, the more important it is to regularly check for things such as rust, which often signal a leak or old age. If you notice rust on your hot water heater, that area is more fragile due to the metal being eaten away and should be looked at by a professional.

Dark Water: If you notice any discoloration or dark tint to your hot water when you’re using it, this is often a sign something is wrong with your hot water heater. It could be something such as rust on the inside of the unit, or the unit itself could be failing.

New or Odd Noises: If your water heater begins making noises it’s never made before, there is most likely an issue. It’s possible that you might have one part that is failing due to rust, or the whole unit might be struggling due to old age. Constant noise can also mean there may be a buildup of sediment within your hot water heater.

Why do water heaters rely on thermostats?
Thermostats are used in water heaters to control and regulate temperature during operation. They monitor the water temperature and signal the water heater when it should start or stop heating. Proper regulation allows the water heater to efficiently heat the water and keep it within a safe temperature range.
Typically, cloudy hot water is caused by a buildup of small trapped air bubbles when the water is heated & pressurized. After a short time, the air bubbles rise to the surface of the water & dissipate, restoring clear water. This type of problem is short-term & generally occurs with all standard hot-water heating.
Heating elements are key components to increase the water temperature within the hot water unit. Repeatedly heating the elements can decrease efficiency, so they will be inspected during servicing to ensure all heating elements work properly and provide consistent heating throughout the unit.
When your water heater becomes too hot, built-in safety mechanisms respond. These safety mechanisms can pause the unit to prevent damage or unsafe operation. Identifying why the unit is too hot will allow us to troubleshoot the issue so your unit can operate properly.
Tank condition plays an important role in long-term system performance. The tank structure can change over time due to internal exposure to water and minerals. We check for early signs of corrosion during inspections; if we see corrosion, we can repair it or replace the part to prevent leaks.
When a water heater is installed properly, it is built to provide optimal performance from day one. To achieve this, it must be securely connected, have the correct pressure, and have proper venting when required. All of these are influential in maintaining the system’s continued operation over time and increasing its longevity.
