MOST COMMON WATER HEATER PROBLEMS SAN DIMAS PLUMBERS ENCOUNTER

Our team of San Dimas plumbers has been delivering outstanding plumbing services to local homeowners since 2016. Water heater repairs in San Dimas are a specialty. Some of the most common water heater problems we encounter include:

• No hot water. This problem is often caused by issues with the heating element (in electric water heaters) or the burner (in gas water heaters).

• Inadequate hot water supply. If you’re not getting enough hot water, it may be due to over-demand, an undersized water heater, a failing heating element, or sediment buildup in the tank.

• Hot water isn’t the right temperature. If the water is too hot or too cold, the thermostat may be set incorrectly, or the thermostat or heating element may be malfunctioning.

• Water leaks. Water heater leaks can result from such issues as a faulty temperature and pressure relief (T&P) valve, corrosion in the tank, or loose connections.

• Discolored or rusty water. Rusty or discolored water indicates corrosion inside the water heater tank or in the pipes.

• Strange noises. Banging, popping, or rumbling noises are usually caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. When water is heated, the sediment can create air bubbles that cause noise.

• Smelly Water. If your water smells like rotten eggs, it’s likely due to bacteria reacting with the anode rod in the water heater.

• Water is heating too slowly. This issue can occur due to a faulty thermostat, heating element, or sediment buildup.

WATER HEATER REPAIR OPTIONS

Typical water heater repairs can include flushing the tank. Flushing the tank to get rid of sediment buildup can help get rid of problems like strange noises, smelly water, and rusty or discolored water. Having your water heater tank flushed regularly can help you avoid a lot of these problems and extend the life of your water heater.

Power and temperature issues are two leading causes of water heater problems. In electric water heaters, the heating element may need to be replaced. For gas heaters, it could be an issue with the pilot light, thermocouple, or gas valve that requires adjustment or replacement.

Faulty temperature and pressure relief (T&P) valves, damaged thermostats, and corroded anode rods may need to be replaced. Leaks from fittings can usually be resolved by tightening or replacing the connection.
