Water heaters are pretty resilient, but they’re not invincible. The longer you use your water heater over the years, the more prone it’s going to be to developing issues. That’s why you need to be on the lookout for any signs that your system is dealing with any kind of malfunction, so that you can deal with it as quickly as possible. The following are some of the more common water heater issues, and their symptoms. Call for repairs if you notice any of these symptoms in your own water heater.

Eventually, you’re going to need to replace your current water heater with a new one.

Watch for Problems with Your Water Heater
Monday, March 6th, 2017Winter can wreak all kinds of havoc with your plumbing, and even when the weather isn’t that cold, it can be easy to overlook the signs of trouble. The water heater, in particular, can sneak up on you with unexpected problems right at the worst possible time. It’s a very quiet appliance as appliances go, and usually does its job without much fuss while tucked away in locations like the basement or garage where you don’t have cause to be very often. When problems arise, they usually indicate something that’s seriously wrong. The sooner you can spot the symptoms of a problem, the better.
