Signs You Need Water Heater Repair Services

Here are some of the common signs that indicate your water heater might require repair:

• No hot water: If you turn on the hot water faucet, but only cold water comes out, there could be a problem with your water heater’s heating element or gas burner.

• Strange noises: Unusual noises, such as popping, banging, or rumbling sounds, coming from the water heater could signal sediment buildup, which can reduce its efficiency and potentially cause damage. 

• Leaks around the water heater: Any signs of water pooling around the base of the water might indicate a leak. Leaks can be caused by loose connections, a faulty temperature-pressure relief valve, or tank corrosion.

• Rusty or discolored water: If you notice discolored water when using hot water, it might be a sign of rust inside the tank.

• Foul odor: Smells such as rotten egg odor, could indicate bacteria growth in the tank, which might require cleaning and disinfection.

• High utility bills: A sudden increase in your energy bills without any significant change in usage patterns might be a result of an inefficient water heater that needs repair.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to have a professional inspect and diagnose the issue to ensure safe and efficient operation. Avoid trying to repair the water heater yourself, as it may be dangerous, instead contact the professionals at Roberts and Petty Inc. We serve the residents of Brownwood, TX, call us today!
