Common Water Heater Problems We Solve in McDonald

Water heaters, while reliable, can develop various issues over time. Our team is skilled at identifying the root cause of the problem and implementing the right solution. Here are some common issues we address:

• No Hot Water: This is perhaps the most frustrating problem. Causes can range from a tripped breaker or blown fuse (for electric water heaters) or a pilot light issue or gas supply problem (for gas water heaters) to a faulty thermostat, heating element, or thermocouple. We'll test components and check connections to pinpoint the failure.
• Not Enough Hot Water: If your hot showers are cut short, the tank size might be insufficient, or you could have a malfunctioning heating element, thermostat problem, or sediment buildup reducing the tank's capacity. We assess the unit's performance and recommend solutions or adjustments.
• Water Too Hot: This is often caused by a thermostat setting that is too high or a faulty thermostat that isn't regulating temperature correctly. We can adjust the thermostat to a safe and comfortable level or replace the faulty unit.
• Leaking Water Heater: Leaks are serious and require immediate attention. They can originate from the tank itself (indicating potential corrosion and the need for replacement), pressure relief valve, drain valve, or pipe connections. We carefully inspect all potential leak points to determine the source and necessary repair or replacement.
• Strange Noises (Rumbling, Popping, Hissing): Sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank is a common culprit for rumbling or popping sounds as water heats up. Hissing could indicate a leak. We can often flush the tank to remove sediment, improving efficiency and reducing noise.
• Rusty or Smelly Water: Rusty water can indicate corrosion inside the tank or pipes. Smelly water (rotten egg smell) is typically caused by bacteria reacting with the anode rod. We can diagnose the source and offer solutions like flushing the tank, replacing the anode rod, or, in cases of significant corrosion, recommending replacement.
