Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair

There are several signs that your water heater might need repair:

  • Lack of Hot Water: If you're not getting hot water or if it's not as hot as it used to be, there could be an issue with the heating element or thermostat.
  • Strange Noises: Clanking, popping, or banging noises coming from your water heater could indicate sediment buildup or other issues within the tank.
  • Leaking: Any visible leaks around the tank or pooling water beneath it are clear indicators of a problem that needs attention.
  • Rusty Water: Rusty or discolored water coming from your taps can be a sign that the interior of your water heater is corroding.
  • Fluctuating Temperatures: Inconsistent water temperatures could be caused by a faulty thermostat or heating element.
  • Increased Energy Bills: A sudden spike in your energy bills without a corresponding increase in usage could mean your water heater is working inefficiently due to a malfunction.
  • Age: If your water heater is nearing the end of its expected lifespan (typically around 8-12 years for most models), it may start to show signs of wear and tear, indicating it's time for a replacement or repair.

If you notice any of these signs, it's best to have a professional plumber inspect your water heater to diagnose the issue and recommend the appropriate repair or replacement. Regular maintenance can also help prevent these problems from occurring in the first place.

PILOT LIGHT OUT OR LOST YOUR HOT WATER?

There are various reasons that your water heater might be malfunctioning. 

The most common water heater problems include:

  • Pilot light off: The most likely reason for no hot water is an extinguished pilot light. You should follow the manufacturer’s directions to turn on the pilot. These instructions are often found on a label on the front of the water heater itself. If you get the pilot lit and it still doesn’t result in hot water, you should have a professional inspect your unit to determine the underlying cause.
  • Broken thermostat: If your water isn’t getting hot enough anymore, the issue could be with your thermostat. It may simply need to be adjusted to a higher temperature. If that fails to heat your water, the thermostat could be broken and will need to be replaced.
  • Damaged plumbing connections: Connections can start to wear down after a while, which can eventually cause water to leak and pool around the tank. To fix the issue, simply replace any connections that are cracked, corroded, or showing other signs of deterioration.
  • Gas leak: For gas water heaters that stop working, a leak could be to blame. Gas has a distinctive rotten egg-like smell—if you notice it, you should put in a call to a plumber to repair the leak for you as soon as possible.
  • Sediment: Over time, sediment can build up at the bottom of your water heater tank. If left untreated, it will begin to rust the tank and affect the performance of your water heater. Regular maintenance can help keep rust at bay so that you can maximize the investment you’ve made in your water heater.
  • Faulty heating element: A broken heating element is another reason why you might not have hot water. A malfunctioning element won’t get your water hot enough, or it may cause you to run out of hot water much faster than usual. You may simply need to repair or replace the heating element to get your hot water running again.

Most water heaters are designed to last about 10 years. Once they get close to that, they start to break down and require frequent repairs. Sometimes, it’s more cost-effective and efficient to replace the water heater altogether.

Commonly Asked Questions

How do I know if my water heater needs repair?

Common signs that your water heater needs repair include no hot water, not enough hot water, strange noises coming from the unit, or water pooling around the tank. If you notice any of these issues, it's best to have a professional inspect your water heater.

What should I do if my pilot light goes out?

If your pilot light goes out, follow the manufacturer's directions to relight it. If the pilot light is lit but you still don't have hot water, it's best to have a professional inspect your water heater to determine the underlying cause.

How often should I have maintenance done on my water heater?

It's recommended to have your water heater inspected and maintained at least once a year to ensure it's functioning properly and to prevent potential issues from arising.

Is it more cost-effective to repair or replace a water heater nearing the end of its lifespan?

As water heaters approach the end of their typical lifespan of about 10 years, they may require frequent repairs. In some cases, it may be more cost-effective and efficient to replace the water heater altogether.
