Common Water Heater Issues
You rely on your water heater to produce hot water for showers, laundry, washing dishes, and more. When it malfunctions it can lead to a major inconvenience. However, occasionally your unit might require professional repairs. Some common problems can include:
- Lack of hot water: One of the most noticeable issues with your system is a lack of hot water. For gas-powered units, this can be caused by an extinguished pilot light that needs to be relit. It could also indicate a damaged heating element.
- Leaking: An expert should inspect the leak to determine if it can be repaired or if the unit should be replaced.
- Excessive noise: Loud or unusual noises can signal a damaged heating element or a buildup of sediment inside the unit that needs to be professionally removed.
- Cracks: Cracks should be inspected by a professional to see if they can be repaired or if the unit needs to be replaced.
Why a Burst Pipe Is a Plumbing Emergency
A burst pipe can lead to a major plumbing emergency. When a pipe breaks, it might initially start with only a small amount of moisture leaking from the hole. However, soon the water pressure will build and the hole will become larger. Soon, hundreds of gallons of water can be filling your home. This can lead to extensive water damage - including wrecked flooring, drywall, electrical wiring, and more. It can even lead to the growth of mold and mildew, which can cause health problems. When a pipe bursts, it’s essential to call for professional repairs as soon as possible to limit the amount of damage.

- Collapsed lines due to a shift in the earth or simply age.
