Most of the time, people are unaware that their water heater is about to break down. However, there are signs you can look at and it’s not just about water leaking on the walls or the wet carpets. You can avoid the damage of a malfunctioning water heater by being alert of the clues and taking some preventive measures.

Signs That Your Water Heater Needs Repair

• Age of Your Water Heater

  It’s important to know how old your water heater is as a starting point. You can find its age by checking the serial number on the manufacturer’s label stuck to the water heater. This serial number includes the date of water heater manufacturing written in a code form. For example, “G061056328”, here G is for the month, G is the seventh letter in the alphabet series, so it represents the seventh month, i.e. July. The next two digits are 06, which represents the year 2006. This means the water heater was manufactured in July 2006. Each manufacturer will have a similar date code or it may vary. You can check with the manufacturer for assistance.

  If your water heater is less than 10 years old and failing to function properly then you should contact a residential repair technicians for the maintenance and service of your water heater.

• Rusty Water

  If you see rusty water coming from the heater and it is only visible on the hot side piping in your home, this indicates that the water heater is weakening due to rust and it can start leaking soon.

  If there is a coated piping, those pipes can be rusty too. Even after draining hot water out of water heater if this doesn’t stop the rusty water, then the water heater should be changed. To stop this from getting worse, you must schedule an appointment for appliance repair service for your water heater as soon as possible.

• Frequent Roaring Sounds

  With the passing of time, sediment can collect on the bottom of the tank. The deposits can harden while heating and reheating. As this happens, you will hear some banging or roaring sounds coming from the heater while water is heating up. This can be a hint that your appliance is about to break down.

The layer of hardened deposits can:

• Lessen the Efficiency:  The heater will use more electricity or gas for heating water.
• Damage the Heater:  The longer it takes to heat the water, the more it will cause damage to the metal tank and result in more breakable metal that can develop minute holes. If you start hearing roaring sounds from the water heater, check for any small leaks. If you can’t determine the actual issue, book an appointment with the technicians for your water heater repair service.
• Moisture Around the Water Heater

  You may notice water around the heater, this can be a sign of a small leak in the tank. Metal expands while heating, and if there’s a small crack, it may cause the leakage of water from the tank. Once the metal cools down, the leakage from the inner tank will stop.

  Though, before repairing the water heater, make sure the leakage is not due to the connections or fittings to the tank. Also, check the temperature/pressure overflow pipe.
