3 Water Heater Problems to Watch For

3 Water Heater Problems to Watch For

Blog

1. Inconsistent Hot Water

If hot water runs out faster than it used to, it may indicate a failing heating element, sediment buildup, or a thermostat issue. Water heaters typically last 8-12 years.

2. Discolored or Rusty Water

Rusty or brownish hot water usually means corrosion inside the tank. A water filtration system can help with water quality issues.

3. Leaks Around the Tank

Water pooling around the base of your water heater indicates a cracked tank, failed pressure relief valve, or loose connections. Address any active leak immediately.
