Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair
These are some common water heater problems our licensed and insured plumbers can repair:
- Water that’s too hot: Scalding water can be caused by a faulty heating element or a malfunctioning thermostat.
- Water that’s not hot enough: Lukewarm water can be caused by a malfunctioning heating element or insufficient power supply.
- Not enough hot water: A reduced hot water supply can be caused by excessive sediment in the tank, a worn-out heating element, or an undersized unit.
- Discolored water: Water discoloration can result from corrosion in the tank or bacterial overgrowth.
- Smelly water: Noxious odors can occur if bacteria has grown in the tank because your water heater hasn’t been used or the thermostat is set too low.
Water Heater Repair vs. Replacement
Most standard water heaters have an estimated lifespan of between eight and 12 years, while tankless water heaters can deliver 15 to 20 years of reliable performance.
If your water heater is fairly new and has a minor issue, then it’s usually best to perform a repair. Most problems that are caught early can be easily repaired.
However, if you have an older water heater that requires extensive repairs or has a problem that can’t be repaired, such as corrosion that’s eaten through the tank, water heater replacement is necessary.
In these instances, the repair often exceeds 50% of the replacement cost, and it’s simply more economical to replace the unit than to continue repairing it only to achieve subpar performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do anode rods do?
Anode rods help protect your tank from rust. When these wear away, the sacrificial anode rods stop protecting your tank, which means they no longer provide the protection you need.
How high should my water pressure be maintained?
It’s best to keep your PSI at 80 or less. Any higher than this, and you risk suffering a T&P valve failure.
Can I repair my water heater myself?
We advise against all DIY water heater repairs. There’s a risk of a natural gas leak or electrocution, and any work you perform may void the manufacturer’s warranty.
Why is my water heater leaking?
Leaks are often the result of corrosion that has eaten through the tank, faulty valves, or damaged seals.
Why is my water heater rumbling?
Rumbling sounds are caused by excessive sediment buildup in the tank. As the hot water rises through the sediment, it causes the tank to rumble. In most cases, this can be easily resolved by draining and flushing the tank.
