Signs You Need Water Heater Repair
Water heaters don’t break down suddenly, at least not very often. The vast majority of heaters give off some kind of signal before breaking down; in fact, this could be the only thing preventing you from replacing your old heater rather than fixing it. Here are some signs that something might be wrong with your heater and requires professional attention from an Oshawa plumber.
Low or uneven water temperature: Hot showers turning cold midway through indicate an issue with a broken heating element or malfunctioning thermostat – the longer you wait, the harder it’ll be to fix.
Cloudy, rusty or foul-smelling water: Discoloration of water flowing through your hot tap is often a sign of heavy corrosion occurring in your water heater and that it is going to die soon.
Popping, rumbling or banging noise: All sorts of sounds produced by your heater are often the result of sediment deposits in the bottom of the tank, which means that the heater consumes more power to run.
Water dripping from the heater: Even a tiny amount of water pooling under your water heater should raise an alarm bell about the leakage problem.
Common Water Heater Problems We Fix
The combination of hard water in the Durham Region and the age of many of the Oshawa homes makes it likely that some recurring issues will arise with water heaters. Being aware of what’s going to happen in advance will help manage expectations, and the experience that we have had in handling these types of problems many times before can give you peace of mind.
Sediment buildup in the tank: It’s where minerals accumulate, thus reducing heat transfer efficiency, producing noise, and decreasing the entire life of the unit if the flushing was never done.
Failure of the thermostat or the element: This type of problem is very popular among cases when water is either too cold or too hot. It’s one of the easiest fixes.
Pilot light or ignition problem: A common issue with gas water heaters, where there is usually an issue with the sensor or the thermocouple.
Leaking tank or fittings: There are two main scenarios here – either the leak comes from a loose connection, or it means that the tank itself has cracked.
Pressure relief valve problems: This means a valve that has been stuck, leaked or tripped too often.
