As the name suggests, water heaters warm up the water that comes into your home so you can enjoy comfortable showers, wash dishes, or run your washing machine. Although you may not think about your water heater a lot, it works hard to keep your home running efficiently.

Typical Water Heater Issues That Need Professional Repair Services

When problems arise with water heaters, they can disrupt your daily routine.

If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to call a professional for water heater repair services.

Significant Leaking

Leaks often happen because of corroded tanks, damaged valves, or loose connections. Even a minor leak can quickly escalate into water damage or mold growth if left unchecked. If you notice leaks, call a professional right away to prevent costly repairs in the future and to keep the unit operating safely.

Frequent Water Temperature Fluctuation

If your water alternates between scalding hot and lukewarm, the thermostat or heating element might be failing. These fluctuations not only compromise your comfort but also indicate underlying issues that require professional attention.

Inconsistent water temperature may also signal sediment buildup within the tank, reducing its efficiency.

Strange Noises

Sounds such as banging, popping, or rumbling often point to sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. As the water heats, the sediment hardens, causing noise and reducing the unit’s efficiency. You must address this problem quickly to avoid causing irreparable damage to your water heater.

Water Discoloration

Your water heater has an anode rod that attracts sediment and corrosive elements, protecting the tank from corrosion. Rust-colored or murky water suggests corrosion inside the tank due to failing anode rods. Discolored water can also indicate sediment contamination. This issue not only affects water quality but can also accelerate tank deterioration and ultimately lead to leaks or system failure.

Poor Water Pressure

Low water pressure can result from mineral buildup in the pipes or the water heater itself. Over time, this accumulation restricts water flow, affecting both hot and cold water pressure. Reduced pressure may also signal a failing expansion tank or clogged lines that require immediate professional attention.

Emergency Water Heater Repair

Some problems with water heaters need to be fixed right away. A major leak, for instance, can quickly flood your home, leading to water damage, mold growth, and structural issues. If you notice pooling water around your unit, turn off the water supply and contact a professional immediately.

Another emergency that requires a professional is a complete loss of hot water, especially during colder months. This can disrupt daily routines and compromise your family’s comfort.

If you hear strange sounds like loud banging or popping coming from your system, it might mean there’s a serious problem, such as too much pressure or a buildup of materials. Take action quickly to avoid any potential breakdowns or safety risks.

Water Heater Maintenance

Routine maintenance not only improves energy efficiency but also enhances the reliability of your water heater, saving you from inconvenient disruptions and expensive emergency repairs. Over time, sediment accumulation can decrease efficiency and increase the risk of costly damage or system failure. Regularly flushing the tank helps remove that sediment.

You can also test the pressure relief valve, check for leaks, and inspect the anode rod to prevent sudden malfunctions and maintain your water heater’s safe operation.

By scheduling a professional inspection annually, you can identify and address minor issues before they escalate into expensive repairs or emergencies.

Providing Comfort to Families for over 120 Years

The plumber and electrician they sent were knowledgeable, professional, and equally as important, full of integrity. While they presented various options, they did not try to sell me something that I did not need. I would highly recommend them, the company has come a long way and I appreciate the service men they sent.

The technician helped me with my water heater. He researched the part that is needed, order it and I truly hope to see him again on the install soon. He was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful!!!

I have used John C. Flood for plumbing issues 3 times now. Each time, they're very responsive and reasonably priced. Each time, my technician has been Harry Hudson. He has done excellent work for me. Highly recommend the company and the technician!

I had an issue at my rental property over the weekend. John C Flood is a life saver! They sent someone out right away and he was knowledgeable, friendly and worked quickly for our guests. I will be using them again.

I cannot speak highly enough of John C. Flood and specifically Dale Jr. He has repaired my system twice in a moment of crisis and has gone above and beyond to make sure we are happy with the outcome. He takes the time to explain the situation and lays out all the options and processes so clearly so I feel comfortable with what he is doing. The company is excellent at sending people in a timely matter.
