Signs Your Water Heater Is Damaged

1

Water Heater Leaks

Almost everyone will deal with a leak in their plumbing at some point or another. What’s more, different parts of your water heater can spring a leak, particularly as they get older. If you notice water pooling around your water heater or dripping from the nearby piping, let us know! The severity of the problem can be partially recognized by where the leak formed.

As an example, leaks near the top of the water heater mean the plumber should check the piping connections for cracks or signs of rust. In many cases, these leaks can be resolved fairly easily. However, when the bottom of the water heater is leaking, it might be evidence of severe damage. Most often it’s because the tank has cracked open due to age or extensive corrosion. In situations like this, it may be best to request a free quote for water heater installation instead.

Water Is Too Hot or Cold

Excessive or weak heating can be caused by sediment buildup, a faulty thermostat or if the water heater’s heating element has failed (only applies to electric models). For natural gas-powered water heaters, the problem may stem from the pilot light going out, which can sometimes happen if it becomes too dirty. If you’ve noticed an abrupt shift in your supply of hot water or if it’s taking longer than usual to heat up, call a Mark Allen plumbing technician.

Rust or Discoloration

The older your water heater is, the more susceptible it is to mineral and chemical buildup, which may lead to the formation of rust. This rust can eventually lead to corrosion, which can also spread to other parts of your plumbing system. Rust or discoloration in your hot water is a sign that your water heater is in need of repair. Our team of experts can inspect your water heater and determine the best course of action for your property’s plumbing.

Unpleasant Smell/Taste

Even small amounts of rust, chemicals, bacteria or sediment could lower your property’s water quality. This can result in discoloration or produce an unpleasant taste or smell. Foul odors can often be resolved by replacing the anode rod. Even if bad odors aren’t affecting the water heater itself, we’ll still do our best to find out what’s happened.
