Water Heater Needs a Repair? What

You to Look Out For

Your water heater is the heart of your home’s hot water

supply. Meaning, you should ensure it is on point at all

times.

This is really tough especially if you don’t have

the right skills, professional background, or

training to do so. Don’t worry. Today I give you

four main signs you could watch out for to know if

your water heater is malfunctioning and needs a

repair.

Any sign of discolored water

Discolored water in the home is often caused by corroded

pipes. But not always, sometimes, discolored water is

usually a straight sign your water heater needs a repair.

When you water heater stalls, your hot water tank

deposits some dirt or minerals that in turn is flushed down

your tap and shower systems.

Buzz your plumber immediately for quick repairs in case you have a case of

discolored water.

Any sign there is no hot water

I have experienced this before. This is the simplest and

easiest way to tell if your water heater needs a repair. If

this happens it is always a sever indication that your

water heater needs an immediate attention and repair

from your professional plumber. In my case this was

caused by an electrical fault.

However in some

rare occasions you

could find out the

water heater is

completely broken

down and needs the

replacement of the

entire system.

Any sign of uncommon noises

Strange noises from your home’s water heating system

should also be really looked at. Many water heater tend to

make very strange noises when they are about to

breakdown. Squeaky and rattling sounds are some of the

most common sounds that it will have when it needs a

repair. Other funny sounds can be a pop, crack, and

bangs. At such a time seeking the services of a

professional plumber is highly advisable as your water

heating system could still benefit from their services.

Any sign of irregular hotness

One time your water is hot the next lukewarm or simply

cold. This is a direct red flag, something is definitely not

right. This is often a clear cut indication that your water

heater is almost taking its final breath. Irregular hotness

shows that the water heater has a part that’s

malfunctioning and needs to be fixed.

Any sign of moisture around the heater

. This could mean your heater has a small leak or fracture in the tank.

Usually as the metal heats it expands. This could easily cause a

fracture and cause the water to leak. If you have a leak, replacing

your water heater will be advisable. However don’t do it before you

really certain the leak is coming from other fittings in or connections

in the tank.

Working with any appliance in your home that has given clear

signs it needs a repair or replacement could be a time bomb

waiting to blow up on your face. Here is my advice. Find a

professional expert to fix the problem for you on time. Steve’s

plumbing professionals is an ideal place to seek water heater

repairs.
