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.

2. Discolored or Rusty Water

Rusty or brownish hot water usually means corrosion inside the tank. When the rust is coming from the tank itself, it's time to repair or replace your water heater.

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.
