Does your tank or tankless water heater need professional attention? If you are
seeing obvious changes, then chances are a repair or replacement is needed.
What’s Changed in Your Hot Water Heater?
Water Heaters will typically function for years, some for over a decade. That’s
a long time and a lot of hot water produced for your family or employees. As soon
as a problem becomes apparent, it can make daily life much more difficult. The first
step in getting the service your water heater needs is to determine what has changed
about the way it is providing heated water.
One of the most obvious changes in your hot water heater may be temperature
and availability. Does your hot water seem to come and go, as if the
unit is running out of heat? Have you noticed the opposite problem, with water being
far hotter than it should be? We always advise clients to proceed with caution because
overheated water can cause burns on bare skin. Always check carefully and turn off
the unit as soon as you notice the symptoms of a broken water heater.
Leaking water is another symptom to look for. This problem may not be obvious right
away if you do not check the hot water heater often. As soon as you experience problems,
go directly to the unit and look for escaping moisture.
Changes in the quality of liquid produced by a water heater are another indicator.
If you notice an unusual egg odor or see rust particles, this could be another sign
that you need water heater repair. The unit may also generate noticeable rumbling
or high pitched sounds when something inside is not working as it should.
The First Steps in Water Heater Repair
Once you identify your water heaters problem, we recommend acting
quickly by shutting off the unit. Always turn off the power source, whether it is
gas or electricity. Next, shut down the flow of water into the appliance and if
it is gas, turn off the gas valve. This will prevent additional damage to the water
heater and surrounding area.
