Signs your water heater may need service
No Hot Water
If you turn the faucet to hot but never feel it heat up, then your water heater may not be working at all. Check to make sure the circuits are on and it is getting power/fuel. If so, you need a professional.
Water Temperature Not Warm Enough
Does your faucet, shower, or tub not get hot enough throughout the shower or while cleaning the dishes? If your water heater isn’t sending hot enough water then it could be a fix that a plumber could repair. Stop putting up with lukewarm water and get comfortable today.
Won’t Turn On
If your water heater won’t turn on, and you’ve checked the unit’s thermostat and power, then it’s time to call us. Our professional plumbers can help diagnose the issue.
Hot Water Runs Out Too Quickly?
If your water heater can’t seem to produce enough hot water to serve your home’s needs regularly then you could benefit from a professional inspection. It could be as simple as a setting on the water or signs of an impending failure.
Loud or Strange Noises
Water heaters can make noise, but if your hot water system is making loud or unusual sounds, it could be a good indicator that there is an issue with a component that is critical to its performance. Don’t overlook this warning sign that could save you hundreds in repairs.
Burning or Gas Smell
Older water heaters are prone to leaks, sediment build up, or inefficient use of fuel. This unspent fuel could be what you’re smelling. It also could be venting improperly. If you are concerned by something you smell, contact us immediately.
Leaking Water
You should never see water puddling or dripping from your water heater, the supply lines, or the outlet pipes coming from your unit. If you see water, even a small amount, it’s time to call a professional. Don’t wait.
Rust Colored or Brown Water
When you fill-up the sink or tub, is the water discolored or rusty? It could be coming from your water heater. Sediment can build up in water heaters and needs to be flushed regularly. Certain parts inside your system can also rust and need replacing to extend the life of your home’s water heater.
