Water heaters are complex appliances with numerous components that can fail over time. While some issues might seem minor, delaying professional repair or attempting DIY fixes can lead to more significant damage, safety hazards, and costly replacements.
This is arguably the most frustrating water heater problem. If you're consistently running out of hot water, or getting no hot water at all, there are several potential culprits:
A leaking water heater is a serious matter that requires immediate attention to prevent extensive water damage and potential safety hazards.
Any leak from your water heater should be treated as an emergency.
Your water heater shouldn't sound like a monster in the basement. Various noises indicate different issues:
Water heaters, particularly gas models, involve inherent safety risks if not properly maintained and installed.
Due to these serious safety implications, any water heater problem that involves gas should only be handled by a licensed professional.
If your hot water smells like rotten eggs, it's typically caused by a harmless bacterium reacting with the magnesium or aluminum anode rod inside the water heater. Removing sediment, flushing the tank, and potentially replacing the anode rod can resolve this issue.
For gas water heaters, the pilot light is essential for igniting the main burner. If your pilot light frequently goes out, you likely have an issue with the Thermocouple, Pilot Supply Tube, or Draft Issues.
