A malfunctioning water heater can cause major inconveniences in your domestic life. If your water heater isn’t working properly, then you may try to take your morning shower before work, only to find that the water remains very cold. Also, a faulty water heater can make it all the more unpleasant to work through that pile of dishes, with your hands turning cold and wrinkly. If your water heater isn’t functioning like it should, then you’ll want to have an experienced plumber come and take a look. At Champion Plumbing, our local plumbing company specializes in water heater service in the greater San Antonio area.
If your faucet is producing murky water, then your water heater may be to blame. This is a sign that metal is flaking off in your water heater’s tank, causing the water’s discoloration. In this scenario, it’s worth draining and flushing the water heater as a fix for the time being. But with this issue, you may want to replace your water heater.
Corrosion is another cause for concern. If there’s a lot of rust on the tank, then it's probably time for a new water heater. It’s also worth checking for rust on the burner components. If rust-colored water is coming out of your faucet, then there’s a very good chance that corrosion is the reason.
It’s also important to bring water heater leaks to a plumber’s attention. If dampness is accumulating in your water heater’s vicinity, then there’s reason to suspect a leak. Water heater leaks often form at drain valves, temperature and pressure release valves, and fittings. If tank damage is causing your water heater leak, then replacement will likely be necessary.
Water heaters also often need to be replaced due to old age. Conventional water heaters commonly last for 10 to 15 years, while tankless water heaters have a life expectancy of 20 years or more.
