Signs Of Water Heater Failure

Don’t wait until you experience the shock of an unexpected icy cold shower before calling for plumbing services. A failing water heater will usually exhibit certain telltale signs before completely breaking down.

Your Water Heater Is Likely Going Bad, If:

You have no idea when it was last replaced: Traditional gas and electric tank water heaters have an average lifespan of 10 to 15 years. If your unit is more than a decade old or if you are unsure of when your water heater was replaced, it may be time for a new unit.
Your water is orange or smelly: Rusty-colored or odd-smelling water is usually a sign that your water heater's internals are corroded, signifying the end of its lifespan. Muddy or sandy water can indicate an excessive amount of sediment has built up inside your tank and can sometimes be improved by flushing the tank.
Your water heater is noisy: As sediment forms in your tank, it will begin to rattle around on the inside as water is heated and cause popping or banging sounds. Loud noises can also be indicative of a failing heating element.
You need frequent water heater repairs: Regular breakdowns of your water heater usually mean there is something seriously wrong with your unit. Your best course of action is to replace your unit before repair costs become overwhelming.
Your water heater is leaking: Water heater leaks are one of the most common signs that your unit is at the end of its lifespan, especially if they are causing major flooding or are coming from the tank itself.

What To Do When Your Water Heater Is Leaking

When your water heater develops a leak it can wreak havoc on your home. However, you may be unsure if your water heater is in fact leaking or if you are experiencing a different type of plumbing leak. In some cases, it is simply condensation or an issue with your pipes. However, if you notice any pooling of water around the unit it’s crucial you reach out to a professional Fountain Valley water heater repair expert from our team.

What Causes A Water Heater To Leak?

A damaged drain valve
A broken or overly pressurized Temperature & Pressure Relief (T&P) valve
A large accumulation of sediment in the tank
A rusted or eroded tank
Loose or unsecured hot and cold water connections

If left unrepaired, a leaking water heater can cause more serious problems. They can also be dangerous and can lead to mold or even damage to the structure of your property. That’s why you should never delay a repair. A professional plumber will be able to accurately locate the source of the leak and recommend the best solution. However, if the water heater is beyond repair it may be time to consider installing a new system.

Top Quality Brands Installed by Expert Plumbers

We partner with some of the best brands to bring you state-of-the-art water heater technology. Many older water heaters are bulky and take up a lot of space. By upgrading, you can choose from one of our many slim, energy-efficient models that can save you money and space in your storage room. We even install modern tankless water heaters, which can provide an unlimited supply of hot water without a bulky tank.

Explore Tankless Water Heater Options

If you’re looking to enhance your home’s hot water supply while saving space and energy, consider switching to a tankless water heater. Unlike traditional water heaters that store hot water in a tank, tankless models heat water on demand, providing a continuous supply of hot water without the wait. This innovative solution is perfect for families with high hot water needs or for those who want to maximize energy efficiency.

Here are some key advantages of choosing a tankless water heater:

Endless Hot Water: Enjoy an uninterrupted supply of hot water for showers, laundry, and dishwashing.
Energy Efficiency: Reduce energy costs by only heating water when it's needed, leading to lower utility bills.
Space Saving: Free up valuable storage space, as tankless units are compact and can be mounted on walls.
Longer Lifespan: Benefit from a longer operational life, often exceeding 20 years with proper maintenance.
Environmentally Friendly: Lower your carbon footprint with a more energy-efficient water heating solution.
