How Dangerous Is A Leaking Water Heater?

Most homeowners don’t give a second thought about their water heater. These hard working appliances typically toil away in a corner in the basement or an out of the way closet.

Because of this, these systems are usually out of sight, out of mind, which means when problems arise, they go unnoticed until it’s too late.

If you don’t notice water heater leaks, the damage caused by flooding can cost thousands of dollars to repair. The average water heater holds up to 100 gallons of water, so imagine what 100 gallons of scalding water dumped all over your floor can do.

Since most water heaters operate out of sight, here are several signs to watch for that could mean you have a leak.

  • Lack of Hot Water A leak coming from your water heater can extinguish the pilot light or short out the electrical system, causing the water heater to stop producing hot water.
  • Loss of Water Pressure If you have a significant water heater leak, you may experience reduced water pressure coming from your faucets.
  • Malfunctioning Temperature/Pressure Relief Valve If you see water leaking out of the TPR valve, it could mean the valve has failed and the temperature in the tank is exceeding its safety limit.

If you think your water heater is leaking, you must call a professional plumber as soon as possible to minimize damage to your home.

Signs of a Failing Water Heater

Sometimes, not getting the amount of hot water you desire is because heavy usage has maxed out its capacity. However, there are other signs to watch for that could mean your water heater is on the fritz.

Call a water heater repair company if you notice any of the following signs.

  • Strange Popping or Knocking Sounds If you hear popping or knocking sounds coming out of your water heater, it means there’s a good chance sediment has built up inside the tank. If the sediment hasn’t hardened, there’s a good chance you can save your water heater by flushing the tank.
  • Running Out of Hot Water Do you feel like everyone is rushing to be the first one in the shower in the morning because they know the hot water will quickly be used up? If you have a growing family or added a bathroom, your old water heater probably can’t keep up with the demand, meaning it’s time to upgrade.Also, if the hot water doesn’t last as long as it used to, it could also be that pesky sediment buildup again. When sediment and mineral deposits build up in the system, they can affect heating elements, causing them to fail and leaving you with limited amounts of hot water.
  • Fluctuating TemperatureIf you find the water temperature coming out much cooler than before, it could be the thermostat or a heating element that’s failing. Fortunately, these problems are relatively easy and inexpensive to repair.
  • Leaks Leaks coming from your water heater require immediate repairs, but they don’t always mean you have to replace the system. Sometimes, it’s a loose connection or faulty valve that’s causing the leak, which are easy to fix. However, if the leak is coming from the tank, it usually means the interior lining has rusted, which means replacement is inevitable.
  • Discolored or Odorous Water Discolored or smelly water usually means rust is breaking off from the tank or there’s a buildup of bacteria. As mentioned, if the tank is corroding, you must replace it; however, if the water smells foul, it’s probably the anode rod that needs replacing.

If you notice these signs or anything else odd about your water heater, call All Pro Plumbing for an inspection and repair.

Why Water Heater Maintenance is So Important

Virtually every American home depends on having hot water for daily routines like showering, cooking, and cleaning. We use hot water so much during our daily lives that we take our hot water heaters for granted.

However, like any major appliance, the better your water heater is maintained, the more efficient it will be.

If water heater maintenance isn’t on your list of household chores, here are a few reasons why it should be.

  • Increased Efficiency If you live with hard water, then you’re aware of the effects of calcium buildup around your fixtures and in your pipes. When minerals and calcium build up in the water tank, it makes it more difficult for the system to heat the water.When your water heater works harder, it costs you more money on your energy bills and puts increased wear and tear on the system. Flushing the minerals out from the tank once a year stops the mineral buildup.
  • Extends The System’s Lifespan Keeping your water heater well-maintained helps to extend its lifespan. The typical lifespan of a water heater is 8 to 10 years, but with routine maintenance, you may be able to squeeze out another 2 to 4 years.
  • Fix Minor Problems Routine water heater maintenance allows you to catch minor problems and fix them before they have a chance to grow and cause significant damage.
