One of the biggest giveaways that your water heater is in need of a repair is if the temperature of the water from your faucets and appliances is fluctuating. When sediment and mineral deposits build up in the water heater tank, it can lead to your appliances not getting the appropriate amount of hot water – if any at all!
Mineral deposits and sediment buildup can also affect the water pressure from your faucets and plumbing. If you notice the water pressure is weak when you turn on your hot water specifically, you should think about scheduling a repair as soon as you can.
If your water heater is leaking, particularly hot water, contact our team immediately! Leaking hot water is a clear indication that something is either clogged or failing within your water heater system.
A buildup of minerals and sediment in your water heater can cause discolored or cloudy water from your tap. Cloudy or rust colored water is a red flag for repair. Additionally, if the water has a distinct smell to it, this is also likely due to sediment buildup in the tank. If your hot water is cloudy and smelling funny, call us right away to avoid potential negative health effects!
There are a number of reasons that your water heater may start making loud, unfamiliar noises, but the common culprit is usually sediment buildup. If your water heater has suddenly started making odd noises, schedule an expert repair with our team to get to the bottom of it.
Most of these water heater issues are all rooted in mineral deposits and sediment buildup. This is why it is so crucial to have your water heater professionally maintained every single year! If you have not had your water heater tuned-up in the last year and are experiencing issues, it is likely due to improper maintenance. Nonetheless, schedule a prompt repair with our team to avoid further damage to your unit!
If your water heater isn’t producing any hot water, it could be due to a faulty heating element, a tripped circuit breaker, or a pilot light that needs re-lighting. Spring is the perfect time to address these issues with a tune-up before temperatures start climbing and you rely less on warm water.
Your water heater should be repaired if it’s leaking, producing discolored water, or producing inconsistent heating. However, if it’s over 10-15 years old, replacement may be more cost-effective. Scheduling a spring plumbing inspection will help determine the best course of action.
Noises like popping or rumbling from your water heater are often caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. Scheduling a water heater tune-up with Howell-Chase Heating and Air Conditioning can help clear out any sediment and quiet your system. If the issue still persists, we’ll determine an appropriate repair solution.
It’s best to flush your water heater at least once a year to remove any sediment buildup that can affect system performance. The Bluffton, SC spring season is a great time to give it a refresh while you’re tackling other seasonal cleaning and maintenance.
No, your water heater should heat water reliably regardless of the season. If it’s taking longer this spring, there could be an issue with the heating element or sediment buildup. Call (843) 466-6414 to address the issue with a quick water heater tune-up or repair.
