Identifying Failing Water Heaters
The presence of hot water doesn't guarantee your heater's condition. Watch for these signs of underlying issues:
- Reduced hot water
- Leaks
- Random shutdowns
- Standing water in the unit
- Continuous operation
- Rising energy bills
Common Causes of Hot Water Heater Problems
- Sediment buildup
- Faulty temperature and pressure relief valve
- Defective drain valve
- Damaged tank
- Sulfate bacteria buildup
- Deteriorating anode rod
- Loose pipe connections
Sounds can be indicative of issues. Popping suggests sediment buildup, while crackling may indicate calcium deposits. Ticking may result from water pressure fluctuations, and sizzling could signal a leak onto a hot burner assembly. Hammering or knocking noises may stem from abrupt water flow stoppages.
Comprehensive Water Heater Maintenance
Yearly inspections by a licensed plumber are important for the best water heater performance. Maintenance prevents emergencies and appliance failure.
Our maintenance services include:
- Routine hot water heater flushing
- Part replacements
- Multi-point inspections for cracks, leaks, and joint gaps
- Anode rod examinations
Flushing the tank removes sediment buildup, prolonging the unit's lifespan and bolstering its efficiency.

Regular inspections are paramount in averting water heater crises. Detecting early warning signs like corrosion or sediment enables effective treatment. Inspections also safeguard against carbon monoxide exposure, a potential danger from improperly installed or vented gas water heaters.
Benefits of Water Heater Maintenance
