Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repairs
You don’t have to be a plumbing expert to recognize signs that your water heater needs professional service. If these issues sound familiar, trust United Air Temp to respond with 24/7 emergency repairs.
- Water that’s too hot: A faulty thermostat or heating element can cause issues with water temperature.
- Discolored water: This typically means it’s time to flush your water heater, but it can also indicate pipe corrosion. You may need to replace your water supply pipes and water heater.
- Sediment in the water: Another sign your water heater needs to be flushed is sediment floating in your water. A water filtration system can also help mitigate water contaminants.
- Noisy water heater: A noisy water heater can indicate mechanical failure, heating element repair, or the need for unit replacement.
- Leaky water heater: Leaking water heaters typically indicate loose connections, faulty valves, or a failing tank, which may warrant unit replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my water heater leaking?
Water heater leaks can result from a malfunctioning relief valve, a corroded tank, loose drain valves, or worn connections. Whenever you notice a leak, it’s best to call a professional plumber for repairs.
Why does it take so long for my water to heat up?
A malfunctioning thermostat, sediment buildup, or an undersized water heater can all contribute to slow-heating water. Contact a plumber for a water heater repair, tank flush, or unit replacement.
Do I need to repair or replace my water heater?
A qualified plumber can tell you if a simple repair is needed or if you’d be better off with a water heater replacement.
You need to consider the cost of repairs and the age of your water heater, as most require replacement after 10 or 15 years.
