Signs of a faulty or damaged water heater
If you’re scheduling annual water heater maintenance with Mr. Rooter Plumbing, our dependable plumber will let you know about any issues or vulnerabilities. Still, responsible homeowners should stay vigilant and watch out for signs of trouble. Here are some things to beware of:
- Lack of hot water
- Inconsistent water temperature
- Popping, banging, or rumbling noises from the water heater
- Visible signs of water leaks
- Rust of corrosion on the water heater
- Foul-smelling hot water
- Discolored hot water
- Low water pressure from the hot water tap
- Unusually high energy bills
- Yellow rather than a blue pilot light flame
Many times a hot water heater tank repair will be enough to get you back on schedule. Don’t delay repairs though. Remember, a stitch in time saves nine.
