Does Your Water Heater Need Repair?
When it comes to water heaters, it can be quite difficult to gauge the need for replacement or not, especially if it is during the warmer, spring and summer months. In order to tell if your water heater is in need of replacement, here are some of the most important signs to be aware of.
- Corrosion in the Tank
The vast majority of hot water tanks are made of steel and therefore are highly prone to rust over time. In the event your water emanating from your water heater is brownish in color, it is very likely that your tank has been rusted and requires immediate attention.
- Clogged Drain Valve
Over time, as the years go by and the water heater is in use – sediment will slowly collect at the bottom of the tank over the years. As a result of this unwanted sediment, the drain valve will slowly block the drain valve, and cause your water heater to function poorly.
- Leaking Tank
This is one of the most common issues with the vast majority of water heaters, as over time they will typically experience periodic leaks – a strong sign of some type of an internal tank issue. Unfortunately, these issues can rarely be fixed, and in almost all cases, the water heater must then be replaced.
No matter what the issue with your water heater might be, its important to let a team of professionals like those experts at Elite Plumbing & Heating, handle any and all issues that might arise with your water heater.
