Common Problems That May Arise With Your Water Heater

Our team at Mr. Rooter Plumbing is determined to solve any plumbing problem that comes our way. This includes anything that may happen with your water heater. While a minor issue does not automatically mean the unit is about to fail, certain problems could be a sign that replacement is necessary. Whatever the case may be, we can identify the problem and offer solutions at a competitive price.

Here are some of the more common problems that tend to occur with water heaters, as well as some tips on how to solve these problems on your own:

• Leaks: Leaks are always a sign that something is wrong with the unit, and they need to be taken care of as soon as possible. If a leak is not addressed promptly, it can turn into a much bigger problem. At that point, the water heater may no longer be fixable. Many different things can cause a water heater to leak, including:
  • Loose gaskets
  • Overheating
  • A faulty relief valve
  • Poor water pressure
  • Stuck valves
  • Loose connections

  Your first step toward fixing a water heater leak should be to tighten any bolts on the unit that appear to be loose. This could be the solution, but there are no guarantees. If your water heater is still leaking, you should give Mr. Rooter Plumbing a call so we can send someone to investigate your unit.

• Low Water Temperature: If your water heater is not heating your water properly, there is clearly something wrong that needs to be addressed quickly and effectively. Depending on the temperature of your water, you may be looking at various problems. If your water is icy cold to the touch, that could mean a substantial loss of power or a faulty heating element.

  Check any fuses that may have blown and replace them if needed. Also, check that the power indicators for the unit are switched on and lit up. If the water is warm but not hot enough, this could be caused by a broken thermostat or a crossed connection.

  If you shut off your water and turn on your hot water faucet, you can check for a crossed connection. If the water is still flowing with your water turned off, then you have a crossed connection. At this point, you should call Mr. Rooter Plumbing. We can send someone to take a look at your water temperature and determine exactly what’s wrong with your unit.

• Sediment Buildup: If there is a significant amount of sediment and dirt buildup in your tank, it could be causing your water to heat up far more slowly than it used to. If your water is taking a while to heat up, that could be a sign that something is quite wrong.
  Flushing the tank and then cleaning it can help clear out sediment buildup, which could then possibly fix your heating issue. If that doesn’t work, give us a call.
