Lawrenceville, March 7, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lawrenceville, Ga. —
Anthony Wimpey Plumbing is helping residents of Lawrenceville, Georgia understand the five helpful signs that indicate a problem with traditional water heaters. The plumbing company reveals five telltale signs of water heater problems you shouldn’t ignore. Call a plumber for water heater service as soon as possible after seeing any of these warning signs.
Most residential water heaters have an estimated lifespan of around 8 to 12 years, which varies depending on installation quality, water hardness and the level of maintenance of the equipment. Sooner or later, homeowners will most likely face problems with water heaters that require repair or complete replacement. There are five helpful signs to look out for that indicate a problem with traditional water heaters.
According to Anthony Wimpey Plumbing, the first sign homeowners should pay attention to is the color of their hot water. Water from hot water taps should be clear. If it’s cloudy, cloudy, or rusty, it’s a sign that the home’s water heating system is failing. Sacrificial anodes are installed in water heater storage tanks to maintain structural integrity and prevent rusting. It is recommended that these anodes be replaced approximately every five years. Otherwise, the tank will begin to rust and pose a significant health risk.
Second, check the temperature of the hot water. Suppose homeowners find themselves without consistent hot water. A lack of hot water is another sign of a water heater failure. Another sign that a water heater is not working properly is its inability to consistently produce hot water. Defective water heaters that begin to fail do not consistently heat the water. Homeowners will find they have less hot water or water temperatures that are warm and never hot. A water heater’s inability to provide hot water is a condition that will not improve. However, a replacement water heater solves the problem.
The story goes on
Watch out for the next sign of a water heater failure. Strange pops and rattles from a water heater can indicate a bad heating element on electric models. For other water heaters, hammering indicates mineral build-up and deposits in the tank. Sediment formation is more significant in hard water areas. Anthony Wimpey Plumbing recommends homeowners schedule regular hot water system maintenance services that can help catch failures before they become significant problems.
Fourth, look for signs of water heater leaks. A leaking water heater requires urgent maintenance and often needs to be replaced. After identifying a leak, no matter how small, call an emergency plumber. Timing is important, with prompt service a repair may be possible. And replacing the water heater may not be necessary.
After all, in gas hot water systems, the smell of rotten eggs is a sign of a gas leak, which poses significant risks. Report suspected gas leaks with extreme caution. Also, the pilot light in a water heater should burn a blue flame. Look for a yellow pilot light on a gas water heater. A yellow flame indicates that there is insufficient oxygen for the flame to burn properly. This is another significant sign of a failing conventional water heater.
