Water Heaters: What to Watch For

There are many ways to get into hot water, especially when your water heater fails. You’re all too familiar with this scenario if you have kids. Without hot water, they roam around like irritated, smelly zombies. During winter, a cold shower feels even worse, laundry piles up, and anyone with long hair will be desperate for a solution.

Common Water Heater Issues

1. Signs of Leaking Water – Are there unexplained puddles on the floor or water dripping from your water heater? This could be a sign that your unit has developed a leak. It’s crucial to call a licensed plumber to address the issue before it worsens.
2. Banging/Clunking Noises – Strange noises from your water heater can indicate a buildup of sediment or calcium. It’s best to contact a professional to drain and flush your unit and provide necessary recommendations.
