What Are Some Ways to Tell If Your Water Heater Needs Repairs?

The easiest way to tell if your water heater needs repairs include leaking tank, rusty or odd smelling water, no hot water or fluctuating temperatures, and strange noises.

Leaking tank: This is probably the most obvious sign that there is a problem with a water heater and in need of professional repair or replacement. There may be multiple sources of the leak, but all have the potential to cause serious damage to your home if left untreated. Water damage can ruin subfloors and lead to mold, so it is best to repair a leaky water heater as soon as possible.

Rusty or odd-smelling water: The quality of your water is incredibly important, and when your water is no longer as clean or clear as it once was, your health could be at risk. If your water begins to take on a rusty color, there is a possibility that a component of your heater is in need of repair or that sediment has built up in the bottom of the tank and needs to be cleaned. If the water begins to smell strange, there is a possibility that your heater has bacteria growing inside and is in need of flushing.

No hot water or fluctuating temperatures: Obviously, if you have a water heater, you want it to produce hot water. If it is no longer doing its job, it is time to call a professional. A specialist can determine the source of the problem and make the necessary replacements or adjustments so that your heater is once again in working order.

Strange noises: If your water heater has begun to make clanking or other strange noises, it is time to have the heater inspected for repairs or cleaning. Noises may be a sign that a component in the heater has gone bad or sediment is building up within the tank. It may also be a sign of corrosion within the tank that has no telltale signs outside.

Why Are Repairs Necessary?

Water heaters are an essential part of any home, which is what makes it so dangerous when things go wrong. A heater contaminated with bacteria or full of rust or sediment can affect your water quality and potentially your health. Water heaters can also be costly to replace. Regular maintenance can extend your water heater’s lifespan, giving you peace of mind and saving you money.

Water Heater Maintenance Process

There comes a time when your water heater needs maintenance. Water heater maintenance is designed to catch problems before they escalate into costly repairs or premature replacement. Here is the water heater maintenance process and what it entails.
  • Draining the water heater to flush out any buildup of sediment and impurities. As sediments build up, they make it harder to transfer heat to the water. This leads to a less efficient water heater and early tank failure.
  • Checking the tank’s structural integrity. This involves Inspecting both inside and outside the unit for signs of aging or cracks. A cracked or damaged water heater tank may lead to a water heater replacement so this is a critical tank issue.
  • Checking for cracks in the hoses. Water hoses may crack due to corrosion, high water pressure or inadequate insulation. However, cracked pipes can almost always be repaired.
  • Inspecting and changing the filters as needed. Over time, dust will build up on the water heater’s filter, reducing airflow and creating a less efficient heater. The filter needs to be cleaned or replaced according to manufacturer instructions.
  • Determining if the unit is operating at maximum efficiency. Whether your unit is electric or gas fueled, it’s crucial to confirm that heater is producing adequate hot water without consuming too much power or gas.
Being proactive about water heater maintenance will not only save you money but also save you from headaches in the future.

Why Should You Call a Professional?

Water heaters can produce extreme temperatures. The average heater produces temperatures around 120 degrees Fahrenheit, which can cause first degree burns. A malfunctioning heater can easily produce temperatures around 160 degrees, which can cause much more severe burning. It is best to allow a trained professional make the repairs than to take that risk  yourself.

Nathan and Paddy came out to replace a pinched water pipe below my garage. They arrived when scheduled and completed it in one day, like they planned. They were both friendly and answered any questions I had. The job entailed jackhammering through the cement floor and digging about 4.5 feet down. They dealt with the challenges of the task. My water volume and pressure is now outstanding. As for the price, my condo association paid for it, so I have no knowledge.

John, Jason & Greg came and fixed our sump pump lines that lead to the storm sewer. After they assessed our situation they came bk with a back hoe in a timely manner . They did an exceptional job! All 3 were very conscientious, extremely polite & professional and were able to fix our sump pump lines in the front yard. They operated a back hoe & even saved our sod! Once everything was finished they put everything back and our yard looks great w the sod placed back over the giant ditch they had to make. The new sump pump lines are operating perfectly. I would highly recommend Nixco Plumbing!

We were thoroughly impressed with Nixco and their service technician, Chris McClure! We talked to Becky (the receptionist) at Nixco and requested Chris, due to wonderful reviews online he had for his work! Becky had Chris scheduled to be at our house the very next morning. Our kitchen sink was completely plugged up, and he finally had to go up on the roof and unplug the line from there. We are very grateful to Chris, and highly recommend him if you have plumbing needs!

We had a fantastic experience from start to finish. They came out the same day to assess our leaking main water line and provided a very competitive price. The work was scheduled for the following week and completed efficiently. Todd, the plumber, did an excellent job overseeing the entire project and crew. The main line—from the meter to the washer room (main valve)—was replaced in just one day. Other reputable companies we contacted estimated it would take up to three days (with no water during that time) and quoted prices about 20% higher. We were also impressed with the responsive and helpful office staff. Todd and the entire crew were professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. This company clearly has the right people, expertise, and equipment, and they deliver top-notch service at a great value. Other small businesses should take a note.

Nixco was able to send someone out within a hour of calling for service. Shawn did a great job explaining why my floor drain backed up a second time in just a couple of months. He was able to clear the clog and gave me recommendations for keeping that line clear. I am very satisfied with the service provided and will definitely use Nixco again.

Jared McCall diagnosed our whistling sound while water was running as a pressure valve issue and replaced the part eliminating the annoying noise. Shawn Crank did an excellent job of diagnosing and addressing our sump pump issues. We had another plumbing company out to address the problem and the issue recurred 8 days later after they supposedly resolved the concern. Now the problem is actually solved. NIxco's excavation team replaced our sump pump drainage discharge line that had become reconnected from the main storm sewer line running along the streeet. Nathan Floyd did a great job diagnosing our low water pressure issue and he and Kyle did an expert job of replacing our water softener.
