Common Water Heater Issues You Might Face

Our customers are often surprised to learn that there are many components in a water heater that can be replaced rather than replacing the entire unit. When you find that you have no hot water, the culprit is often a failed thermostat or heating element. Our pros can quickly evaluate your water heater and determine which part or parts are the reason for your cold shower. The next step is to provide you with a complete cost estimate for the repairs needed to restore the function of your water heater. Finally, with your approval, the replacement will be completed. In most cases, this can all happen on the initial visit as our plumbers are prepared to work on all makes and models of water heaters.

Leaks near your water heater are also a reason for concern. Not only are you wasting water, which could potentially cause damage to your home, but small leaks always turn into significant leaks. And big leaks cause big damage and repair bills. In most cases, a small leak can be found at the drain valve on the bottom of the water heater tank or in a pipe fitting at the top of the tank. These are not serious and can be repaired very quickly by a skilled A Better Plumber plumber. However, if the water is coming from the tank itself, then the issue is far more severe. This happens when the tank has not been well maintained, and corrosion has compromised the tank. Replacing the entire unit is the only safe solution as water heater tanks cannot be patched or repaired.

Other issues related to poor water heater care include discolored water and water with an odd odor. This happens when the tank is not drained correctly on a regular basis. Corrosion from the anode builds up in the tank and contaminates your hot water. The result of contamination can be rust-colored water that smells like sulfur or rotten eggs. In extreme cases, the anode must be replaced, and the tank cleaned. However, when caught early enough, tank cleaning will correct the issue. A call to (301) 278-8786 at the first sign of any of these issues will ensure that you have several affordable options to restore your hot water.

The Different Types Of Water Heaters

Most homes have a traditional water heater with a large tank. The tank holds the water as it is being heated and maintains it until you turn on a faucet. The tank contains a thermostat and heating element to maintain the water at a specific temperature. While the thermostat is electric, the heating portion of the unit can be operated by gas or electricity.

Less common are the tankless water heater units. These are much smaller units as they do not include a tank and only heat water on demand. When you turn on a hot water faucet, the water heats inside the pipe as it is traveling to the faucet. The benefit of this design is that you have access to an unlimited supply of hot water, unlike the limited capacity of the traditional water heater units.
