Common Water Heater Problems

We rely on our water heaters every day to heat and produce water used for washing, doing dishes, and laundry. Without these systems, we would need to boil our water to get the same results. These units are very efficient and seamlessly integrate into your plumbing. However, several common issues can occur that require a professional repair. These issues include:

  • Corrosion in the unit
  • A leaking or cracked tank
  • Failing valves or incorrectly sized valves
  • Thermostat issues
  • Damaged or malfunctioning pilot light
  • Malfunctioning temperature gauge

The number of problems that can affect these units is limited. There are several issues we will check to determine the exact area that is causing the problem. When we troubleshoot for your repair we typically begin by inspecting the entire unit for cracks, leaks or anything else out of place. Once that is ruled out, we will test the heating components and check the valves and fittings. We also examine the temperature gauge to get the full picture and develop a strong idea of what the issue is and the best way to repair it.

When to Replace a Water Heater

How do you know when it's time to replace your home's water heater? It's true water heaters can last for a long time with the proper maintenance, but all appliances have an expiration date. Most conventional water heaters can last between 6 and 13 years. If your water heater is more than six years old there are some key signs to look for when determining if it's time for a replacement. Those signs are:

  • Rust colored water - As a water heater ages, the tank begins to deteriorate and rust. This rust can get into your hot water which causes it to appear reddish brown in color.
  • Odd noises - Noise is always an indicator of any appliance dealing with problems. If you notice your water heater is making loud cracking or popping noises it may be an indication that the heating elements have mineral build up on them.
  • Frequent repairs - It is common for water heaters to need a repair once in a while. That is part of regular maintenance needed to ensure it lasts a long time. However, if you are noticing the water heater needs repairs more often, replacement is usually the best option.
  • No hot water - The most obvious sign of problems with your water heater is simply the lack of hot water. This is usually caused by one of multiple causes. Either the pilot light is out or the circuit breaker has tripped. Or your water heater has simply reached the end of its lifetime.
