5 Signs You Need Water Heater Repair Services

If it looks (or smells) like something is off, it probably is.

Look for these top signs that you may need water heater repair services and call us right away if you notice anything suspicious.

  1. Dirty or cloudy water with an unpleasant smell – If you notice that the water coming from your faucets is dirty and smelly, something in your water heater is not working properly. You should react fast to prevent further damage to your pipes.
  2. Strange sounds – Strange sounds are almost always a bad sign, and they usually require immediate inspection. A little noise coming from the water heater is completely okay, but when your water heater produces loud and excessive noises, then it is time to call a water heater repair professional.
  3. Warm water – If you are getting only warm water from your faucets, and it seems that your water heater cannot produce hot water, your water heater is experiencing issues and should be inspected right away.
  4. Rusty water – If you notice rusty water coming from your faucets, you might have a problem with your water pipes. However, if rusty water comes ONLY when you turn the hot water tap, that’s likely an issue with the water heater and not the pipes.
  5. Hot water leaks – Hot water leaks are the most obvious signs that your water heater is not working properly. Leaks coming from your water heater should not be neglected and must be inspected right away to avoid serious flooding in your home.
