Common Signs Your Water Heater May Need Repair – Real Time Plumbing
Your water heater may still be supplying hot water, but there are several early warning signs that indicate it may be in need of repair. At Real Time Plumbing, our experienced technicians know exactly what to look for and can quickly address issues before they turn into costly problems.
If you notice any of the following, it may be time to schedule a professional water heater inspection and repair:
🚿 Inconsistent Water Temperature
If your water is coming out too hot, too cold, or not hot at all, the thermostat may be failing or there could be sediment buildup affecting performance. We’ll diagnose the issue and restore your system’s proper function.
💧 Water Leaks Around the Unit
Leaks from the top or base of your water heater could be due to a failed temperature and pressure valve, or loose inlet/outlet connections. It’s important to act quickly before minor leaks lead to major water damage.
🦠 Foul-Smelling Hot Water
Unpleasant odors in your hot water often indicate bacteria buildup inside the tank, especially in homes that use well water. A common solution is replacing the anode rod, but our team will assess the situation to determine the best fix.
🛠️ Rusty or Discolored Water
If you’re seeing brown, red, or rusty water, it could mean the inside of your tank is corroding, a warning sign of a possible future leak. Don’t wait for the problem to worsen. Let Real Time Plumbing take care of it.
