The average life expectancy of a water heater is around eight to twelve years, but it is important to take into account the manufacturer’s suggested service life as well when trying to estimate its lifespan.
Water heaters can take a long time to heat up for many reasons. Some houses have longer pipelines, which means it takes longer for warm water to reach the faucet. In other cases, there may be sediment buildup at the bottom of your tank. If you find that it takes awhile for your water to get hot, call 717-470-8201 to speak with one of our experts about a repair!
The most common reason a water heater will stop working is sediment buildup, especially as the water heater ages. When water is heated, minerals like calcium and magnesium collect along the sides of the tank and the burner. If these minerals are not filtered out of the water heater, they form a sediment barrier that will settle on the burner and seriously affect your water heater’s performance.
Yes, it can be dangerous to have a leaking water heater! If the temperature and pressure valves fail to turn off your water heater when the temperature or pressure is too high, your water heater could explode. If you notice your water heater is leaking, call a trusted plumber at Pronto Plumbing, Heating, Air & Drains immediately to be safe!
If your water heater is experiencing any of the following issues, call our team to schedule a repair right away to avoid permanent damage:
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!
