Common Problems To Determine If A Water Heater Repair Or Replacement Is Right For You
Not Enough Hot Water
If you are running out of hot water, there are a couple things to check. First check your water heater’s thermostat. It could be as simple as adjusting the heat so the water gets hotter.
It is also a possibility that your tank is leaking or that the dip tube, which supplies your tank with cold water, may be cracked or broken. The heating element, wiring, or burner could also be malfunctioning. Our Professionals at Advanced Plumbing can fix all of these problems.
Water is Too Hot
If your water is too hot, the problem is probably with your water heater’s thermostat. Make sure it is not turned too high. If it’s not then your thermostat might be malfunctioning. Document its current position and then turn it to a cooler setting then wait a few hours. If the water is still as hot as it was before temperature was turned into a cooler setting, it’s because the thermostat is not working properly.
If the water coming out of your faucets is too hot or it steams, it’s possible that the water heater is not shutting off at the temperature it is supposed to. This issue can easily be fixed by the professional Advanced Plumbing.
Water Takes Too Long to Reheat
If your water takes too long to heat up after the tank is emptied, it’s probably because your heating element is not working properly. This could be because the heating element itself needs to be replaced or because the power supply isn’t reaching the element.
Slow-heating water could also be the sign of a more serious problem. If sediment or rust has built up in your water tank, it could be smothering or insulating the element. This insulation will force the element to work harder to heat the water, causing a pressure and heat build up that could lead to rupture.
Water is Smelly or Rust Colored
If your water is a rusty-color, smells or tastes weird, the problem is with your heater or your source water. If all your water (cold and hot) or only your cold water is discolored, the problem is your source water. If only the hot water is discolored or smelly, it’s because there’s a high concentration of sulfates or other minerals in your tank. These minerals are “cooked” when the water is heated and release into your water. See if flushing the tank helps.
If the problem persists after a total flush or two, have a pro replace the anode rod in your water heater’s tank. This device acts like a kind of rust “lightning rod.” It keeps your tank from rusting out from the inside by corroding in its place.
Valve or Tank Leak
If the water tank of your water heater is leaking, it has been irrevocably corroded from the inside. At that point, the only good way to solve the problem is to replace the tank. This should be done as soon as possible.
If the valve directly below the tank is leaking, you may still have options. Usually, the thing you’ll notice leaking will be the temperature/pressure relief valve. This opens to relieve high pressures and temperatures inside the tank and lets out water in the process. If it’s leaking, then it can’t do its job properly or is opening prematurely. If you notice a problem with your temperature pressure valve, call a professional for a diagnosis. The temperature pressure valve is often a harbinger for greater problems, so if you call fast, we may be able to save you from a more costly fix.
