What Are the Signs My Water Heater is Going Out?

Knowing when your hot water heater may go out can help you prevent an emergency.

Some signs that your water heater may be going out include:

• Your Water Heater Makes Strange Noises. One of the most telling signs that a water heater is going out is when it begins to make strange noises. These noises can range from loud rumbling and cracking sounds to hissing and whistling. If these noises begin to increase in frequency and intensity, it is likely that the water heater is malfunctioning or displaying signs of wear and tear.
• Your Hot Water Takes a While to Get Hot. Additionally, if the water takes longer than usual to heat up or if the hot water supply begins to dwindle, this could be an indication that the heater is failing. Water leaking from the unit or around its base is also a tell-tale sign of impending failure.
• Your Hot Water is Discolored or Rusty. Furthermore, if the water itself becomes discolored or rusty, this is a clear signal that something is wrong with the device. As soon as one notices any of these issues with their water heater, they should consult an expert immediately in order to avoid further damage and additional expenses.

Contact us if you notice any of these signs or others. We'll diagnose your water heater and discuss whether a repair or replacement is best for you.

3 Water Heater Maintenance Tips for Optimal Performance

Regular water heater maintenance is crucial for ensuring its longevity, energy efficiency, and reliable performance. Neglecting routine maintenance can lead to reduced efficiency, higher energy bills, and potential breakdowns. Please keep in mind that these tips are general guidelines. It's always recommended to consult the manufacturer's instructions or hire a professional plumber for expert assistance.

Below are three water heater maintenance tips:

Tip #1: Perform Regular Inspections

Schedule water heater inspections from our licensed plumbers. We can identify potential issues, such as leaks, corrosion, or worn-out parts before they escalate into major problems. A professional inspection ensures that your water heater is functioning optimally and helps you avoid unexpected breakdowns.

Tip #2: Check the Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve

Check the temperature and pressure (T&P valve) relief valve regularly to ensure it is functioning correctly. A T&P valve is a safety device that automatically relieves excess pressure and temperature inside the water heater. The T&P valve helps prevent your tank from exploding if the temperature and pressure exceed their respective limits.

Lift the valve's lever to release a small amount of water and ensure it operates smoothly. If you notice any signs of leakage or if the valve is not working correctly, contact our team for prompt repair or replacement.

Tip #3: Flush the Water Heater

Over time, sediment and mineral deposits can accumulate in your water heater, affecting its efficiency. It is recommended to flush your water heater annually. Turn off the power supply or gas to the unit, attach a garden hose to the drain valve, and direct the other end to a suitable drainage area. Open the drain valve and let the water flow until it runs clear. Flushing helps remove the accumulated debris and maintains the efficiency of your water heater.

These tips should help keep your water heater in tip-top shape. If you need some professional Yelp, we’re just a phone call away.
