Signs You Need Water Heater Repair

Of course, if your home is without hot water, it is likely clear that you need hot water heater repairs. There are other telltale signs, however, that your water heater isn’t working optimally and requires repairs. If you experience any of the following, it is time to call in the experts at Big Blue Plumbing so we can take a look. It is better to repair your water heater before you lose your hot water completely. Watch out for the following signs your water heater needs repair:

  • Fluctuating temperature or low hot water pressure: Sometimes mineral deposits build up in hot water heaters around their internal heating elements. This can result in fluctuating temperature and pipe blockages which decrease the water pressure coming from the water heater.
  • Leaks: It’s important to check up on your water heater routinely, so you can be aware of leaks before they cause you to lose hot water altogether. Of course, if you are without hot water already and you spot a leak, that is likely the culprit. Call us today to get it fixed!
  • Rusty water: If your water looks discolored or tastes metallic, there is likely corrosion in your pipes. When only the hot water appears rusty or tastes metallic, the problem could be originating in your water heater. It is essential not to leave this issue untreated, as corrosion can cause water heaters to fail completely.
  • Unusually noisy water heater: Of course, the steady purr of a water heater is normal. Like any other appliance, you can expect it to make a bit of noise, but if you start hearing unusual sounds, it may be time for some hot water heater repairs. Mineral deposits can cause popping, banging, and cracking sounds that may indicate a more severe problem.

Sometimes your water heater repair will only require a simple fix, but it is still not advisable to repair it on your own.
