COMMON WATER HEATER PROBLEMS
Water Temperature Issues
The easiest way to tell there’s a problem with your water heater is if your water is unable to reach your desired temperature. This can mean your water is scalding hot, or doesn’t get hot enough. A water temperature issue can be caused by a variety of problems, including a broken thermostat, not having a large enough water heater for your space and your thermostat being set to the wrong temperature.
Strange Water Heater Noises
One of the most common issues people come to us with is hearing strange noises coming from their water heaters. When your water heater is trying to operate with a ton of sediment buildup in the water tank, it usually causes a weird sound to occur. If this happens, Polar Bear Mechanical will be able to easily flush your water tank, and your water heater will be back up and running properly.
Discolored Water
If your water comes out of the faucet with a rusty hue, you most likely have corrosion inside your water tank. Corrosion can be caused by a variety of issues, but is most often caused by a failing anode rod. Usually, replacing the faulty anode rod will alleviate the issue. In more severe cases, the anode rod has caused too much corrosion and you’re forced to replace your entire water heater.
Water Heater Leaks
Water heater leaks can be extremely dangerous, and need to be addressed immediately. A leak can be caused by faulty plumbing connections, excessive corrosion inside the water storage tank, broken temperature and pressure relief valve or even a cracked heating element such as a gasket. While you’re waiting for the leak to be fixed, try and lay down towels to absorb any excess water.
