Indications You Need Water Heater Repair Service

Obviously, if your water heater stops delivering hot water, that means it’s time to schedule repairs.

However, there are other, less-obvious warning signs you should pay attention to. Get in touch with our repair technicians if you notice any of the following:

Banging, Metallic Sounds

When a hot water heater has been used for an extended period of time, sediment and debris can accumulate at the bottom of the tank.

This often results in banging noises. If the problem isn’t addressed, the unit could suffer substantial damage.

Rusty Water

Is your water slightly rust-colored? Does it only appear this way when you’re using hot water? If so, contact a professional. This is a sign your unit is starting to wear down. While it may need to be replaced, depending on the severity of the problem, it’s possible that all you’ll need are basic repairs.

Leaking From the Tank

Regularly inspect the area around your water heater’s tank for signs of leaking. Don’t ignore the problem if you notice any.

Not only will a leak waste a lot of water, it could also cause major damage to your property.

The accumulation of moisture might even result in mold growth. Fixing this problem fast will save you from future expenses.

Getting a Pro to Fix Your Water Heater

Although you may be tempted to try and repair your water heater on your own, you’re better off hiring professionals.

First of all, this process can be dangerous, depending on the types of repairs you’re performing.

The water in the tank is very hot, and it can cause major harm if you have a spill. On top of that, because a hot water heater is a complicated machine, you want an expert to take a closer look when it stops working reliably. They’ll be more likely to accurately identify the cause of the problem.
