Common Equipment Issues We Fix
Water heater, like any other home systems, can malfunction and leave you without hot water for bathing, showering, washing the dishes, and more. Although having icy cold water is the easiest way to tell when it’s time to call for repairs, there are also some signs that you can observe. The sooner you call in a professional to address the equipment issue, the better your chances of avoiding a more costly repair or premature replacement.
The symptoms of a failing water heater include:
- Excessive mineral buildup
- Cloudy or discolored water
- Leaking pressure relief valve
- Leaking storage tank
Do you need your water heater repaired right now? Our expert technicians offer emergency services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Different Sounds a Water Heater Can Make
If your water heater has been noisy lately, it could be a sign of a problem that needs to be addressed.
Any of the following sounds can indicate potential issues with your system:
- Ticking
- Hissing
- Popping
- Rumbling
- Whistling
- Humming
- Banging
- Crackling
Electric Water Heaters Noises
If your electric water heater is ticking, this is probably due to the metal ball in the heat trap moving around from pressure changes. Noises like hissing, popping, or rumbling are usually the result of sediment buildup creating bubbles in your tank. A whistling sound means the TPR valve is tight or the drain valve is loose. Electric water heaters can also make a humming sound when the heating element is loose.
Gas Water Heater Noises
Scale buildup can cause banging sounds in a gas water heater. If banging sounds occur only when the gas water heater starts up, the situation could be serious. Be sure to have a professional inspect your unit. Popping and rumbling are also common signs of mineral buildup inside the tank. Gas water heaters can make a crackling sound if water is dripping on the burner.
