Common Water Heater Problems
We Can Help- Not Enough Hot Water
One of the most common issues with water heaters is not enough hot water. If you’re running out of hot water quickly, there could be a few reasons why. First, your tank may be too small for your household’s hot water needs. In this case, you may need to upgrade to a larger tank or consider a tankless water heater. Another reason you may not have enough hot water is a malfunctioning heating element. The heating element is responsible for heating the water in your tank, and if it’s not working correctly, it won’t produce enough hot water. To fix this issue, you’ll need to replace the heating element. - Strange Noises
If your water heater is making strange noises, it could be a sign of a problem. Typically, water heaters make some noise when they’re heating water, but if you hear popping or banging noises, there could be an issue. These noises could be caused by sediment buildup in the tank, which can lead to overheating and damage to the tank. To fix this issue, you’ll need to drain the tank and remove any sediment buildup. You can do this by turning off the power or gas to the water heater, connecting a hose to the drain valve, and draining the tank. Repeat this process until the water runs clear. - Leaks
Water heater leaks can be a severe issue and should be addressed immediately. Leaks can be caused by a malfunctioning valve, a loose connection, or a damaged tank. If you notice water pooling around your water heater, turn off the power or gas and the water supply to the heater. Next, check the pressure relief valve and drain valve to see if they’re leaking. If so, you may need to replace them. If the tank itself is leaking, you’ll need to replace the entire water heater.
