Is Your Water Heater in Bad Shape?
The majority of water heaters are made to be reliable and durable. However, despite their toughness, they might still experience issues as they age. Fortunately, a number of these problems can be resolved by qualified, experienced plumbers who specialize in water heater repair. If you observe any of the following signs, you should contact your plumber right away:
Cool bathwater
Perhaps the water is pleasantly hot when you begin your shower but runs out before you can even finish. Or perhaps you are forced to take a cold shower because there is no hot water available, leaving you numb to the bone. In either case, you need to get your water heater checked out and fixed right away.
Cloudy or odorous water
Look closely at the water in your bath. Does it appear foggy or have a reddish-brown tint? When you smell something, can you sense a tinge of rust? Calling your plumber is probably in order if your response is “Yes.” These could be indications that your water heater tank has accumulated mineral deposits or rust patches that could later develop into tiny holes and lead to leaks.
Leaks of water
Speaking of leaks, if you discover that your water heater is dripping, you should call a plumber immediately. This might result in water damage to your walls and floors in addition to wasting tons of water and costing you a fortune in water bills. You must keep an eye out for water heater leaks and have them repaired as soon as possible to prevent high water bills and expensive repairs (which are undoubtedly likely when water damage is involved).
