Common indications it may be time to change or repair your Water heater
It's not a great experience to step into the shower and realize there's no warm water. While this is a clear indication that something is wrong with your water heater, there are various other, less visible indicators to look for. It's easy to overlook your heating system, however regular inspections and preventative servicing may make sure that it continues to operate effectively for a long time. The following are common indications that your heating system needs to be fixed or changed:
Water Temperature - If you do not have any hot water, you have actually got a problem. You may also see that your water is either too hot or too cold. A build-up of filth or a thermostat fault can create these issues.
Corrosion - If your water is brownish or rusty in color, there's a good likelihood your heater is corroding. Leaks are inevitable as a result of deterioration, however the problem can be resolved by repair or replacement.
If water is dripping from the top of your hot water heater, you most likely have a loose pipe or a failed T&P valve.
Water That Smells Bad-- If the water coming out of your storage tank smells bad, you're definitely dealing with a lot of bacteria. This is a problem that needs immediate attention!
If only your hot water is rusty, there's a likelihood the anode rod in your gas heating system has actually gone bad.
The anode rod is dissolved in time by the corrosion, and when it ends up being too rusted to do its work, you require a gas heating system repair service.
Leaking Storage tank?
Puddles surrounding your water tank could be a indicator of a cracked unit.
General Leaks
Common sources of leaks include the pipe inlet/outlet, pressure relief valve, drain valve, or a crack in the bottom of the storage tank.
No Warm water?
An electrical or gas system might not warm water as a result of a tripped breaker or damaged heating element.
