Water Heaters

This is usually due to a sediment buildup in your tank. As water heaters grow older, they accumulate sediment and lime deposits. If these deposits are not removed periodically, the sediment will create a barrier between the burner and the water, greatly reducing the water heater's performance level. At least once every three months, drain water from the tank. Draining a gallon or so on a regular basis helps remove the sediment.

You should also periodically inspect your water heater burner. The flame under the heater should appear blue with yellow tips. If it's mostly yellow, or if it's sooty under there, your flue may be clogged, which is a dangerous situation. Contact a professional to check it out. At least once every two years, have your water heater inspected by a service technician. He or she will also check the drain valve for signs of leakage, and the anode rods for corrosion.

Water heaters can run into several problems over time. A buildup of sediment at the bottom of the tank can chip away at the metal, dirty water can stress out the water line, and general wear and tear can lead to a breakdown.

Depending on your preference and needs, a traditional tank or tankless water heater may be more beneficial than the other. Our technicians can discuss your needs to help you decide.

Water heater leaks can stem from several issues, often related to age, pressure, or corrosion. Over time, sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank can cause the tank to overheat, leading to cracks or rust. High water pressure or temperature settings may also strain the tank, causing leaks at joints or valves. Additionally, a corroded anode rod can no longer protect the tank from rust, resulting in leaks. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of parts can help prevent leaks and prolong the heater’s lifespan.
