Written by Ah, hot showers—one of life’s little luxuries. But when your water heater’s acting up, your morning routine can turn icy fast. Here’s how to spot trouble before it ruins your day.
- No Hot Water
If your shower feels like a dip in the Arctic, your water heater could be on the fritz. Sometimes it’s just the thermostat, but other times, it’s a bigger issue. - Strange Noises
Is your water heater banging or popping like it’s haunted? That’s sediment buildup. Over time, it hardens and damages the tank. A pro can flush it out or replace it if needed. - Leaking Water
A puddle around your water heater isn’t just a mess; it’s a warning sign. Leaks can lead to water damage and might mean your tank is rusting away. - Rusty Water
If your hot water looks like it belongs in a horror movie, rust in your tank might be to blame. It’s not just gross; it’s a health concern too.
Don’t wait for your water heater to quit on you. Call a plumber when you notice these signs. They’ll help keep your water warm and your worries cool.
