Signs Your North County Home Needs Water Heater Repair

While some water heater behavior is completely normal, like taking time to refill and reheat after a shower, there are some indicators of problems that you should never ignore. Here are some signs you likely need professional water heater services for your North County home:

• Lack of hot water. If your water heater isn’t properly heating your water, you could have an issue with the fuel supply, thermocouple, or other heating elements. Your local plumbing professional will be able to diagnose the issue and provide prompt and effective repairs.
• Leaks coming from your tank. If you see water pooling around your water heater’s base, you may have a leaky valve on your hands. However, if you notice corrosion, you could have a leaking tank, which should be dealt with immediately to avoid possibly extensive structural and property damage.
• Gradual or sudden increase in your water bill. If you notice that your water bill is steadily climbing each month, your water heater may be working harder than necessary to keep up with your heating demands. A common culprit here is mineral buildup in your tank, which can easily be alleviated through regular draining and preventive water heater maintenance services.
• Water discoloration. If your water is rust-colored (especially if just your hot water is affected), then your water heater needs attention right away.
• Your water smells bad. If you have bacteria in your water heater tank, it often results in foul-smelling water. The bacteria produce hydrogen sulfide, which has a distinct “rotten egg” smell. Flushing the water from your tank and setting the temperature to no lower than 120 degrees can solve this problem.
• Your water heater is making loud noises. If you notice a high-pitched whining noise coming from your water heater, you could have a layer of scale buildup on the electric heating element. Likewise, rumbling or banging sounds could indicate excessive sediment in the tank, and whistling could mean you have a valve or tank leak.

If any of these signs sound familiar, just give the experts at Sherlock Plumbing, Heating & Air a call at 760-295-5014 or schedule your repairs online today! We’ll have your North County home’s water heater repaired in no time!
