Is Your Water Heater secretly plotting against you? Beware of These Warning Signs Your Hot Water Heater Is Failing

A water heater may not be the first thing you think of when it comes to life’s little annoyances, but the truth is that if your water heater breaks, you could be left without hot water for a long time. Like many other appliances, water heaters aren’t made to last forever; therefore, it’s important to watch out for any potential signs of failure before it’s too late. 

The team of experts at Water Dr. LLC has gathered a list of warning signs that indicate your water heater might be on its way out to ensure you know what to look for!

Water Leaking From The Tank

One of the first signs your water heater might be failing is that water is leaking from it. This could mean that there’s a crack in your tank, but it could also be related to other issues such as mineral buildup. 

If you notice a leak, it is crucial that you call a plumber immediately to avoid any major damage.

Inconsistent Water Temperature

If you find that your water is either scalding hot or ice-cold, something is wrong with your heater. It could be an issue with the thermostat, which can be easily replaced; however, it could also indicate that your water heater is on its way out. 

Discolored Water Coming Out Of The Faucets

If the water coming out of your faucets starts to change color, it could signify that sediment or rust has begun to build up in your tank. Over time, these elements can work their way through any plumbing pipes connected to your tank and affect all the water in your home.

Unusual Noises 

If your water heater is dying, sometimes it will start making strange high-pitched or thumping noises. Hiring a professional is the best way to know whether your water system needs to be serviced and cleaned or if it is failing and in need of replacement.

I contacted WaterDR for a mitigation system for a high Radon reading after a home inspection. I spoke directly with one of the technician’s “Joe “ he was absolutely polite and informative.

Josh and the other technicians at Water Doctor are real experts and extremely knowledgeable. Even better, for the one obscure piece of equipment I had they had little experience with, they admitted they would have to check with someone else in the company before rending an opinion. These guys are honest, smart, ethical and have fair pricing. They won’t sell

The guys from Water Dr. couldn’t have been any better to deal with over the years. We sold our house and they did our least service/tune up. Years of great service on our well. Fairly priced. Just nice guys to do business with. If my new house had a well they would be my guys.
