Signs You Need Water Heater Repair
- Discolored Water: Rusty or murky water indicates potential corrosion inside the tank. If the anode rod fails, the tank could rust, leading to water quality issues. Immediate inspection is necessary to prevent further damage.
- Unusual Noises: Loud popping, banging, or rumbling noises often signal sediment buildup. Routine maintenance helps avoid such concerns.
- Reduced Hot Water Supply: A noticeable decrease in hot water availability may point to a malfunctioning heater. Inspecting and repairing necessary parts can restore efficiency.
- Water Pooling Around the Heater: Water collecting around the heater is a clear indication of a leak. Immediate repairs prevent extensive water damage.
- Foul-Smelling Water: A rotten egg odor usually means bacterial growth inside the tank. The anode rod, designed to prevent this, may need replacement.
- Age of Water Heater: Units older than 10 to 15 years often require more frequent repairs. Consider replacement if the heater is past its prime.
- Increased Energy Bills: Higher utility bills without increased usage suggest inefficiency.
