Nothing lasts forever, and water heaters are no exception to that rule. There are multiple signs of impending water heater failure that can alert homeowners to this potential problem. Anyone in the Fort Collins, CO, area who is experiencing some of the following signs may want to seek assistance from the professionals at Lion Home Service.
Insufficient Hot Water Production
Few occurrences can signal problems with a water heater quicker than a lack of hot water. After all, if your machinery can’t even fulfill its primary purpose, then it likely doesn’t have long left. If your heater is incapable of producing any hot water or can only make a small amount, you might need new warming equipment.
Discolored Hot Water
Cloudy or rusty water can also be a symptom of a water heater in need of replacement. A metallic odor and taste may also be present in such water. Professionals will be able to tell you if the problem is in your pipes or your water heater.
Ominous Noises
If your water heater is making rumbling or popping noises, then it might have reached the end of its life. These noises are likely caused by a buildup of sediment that will continue to damage your machinery.
A Leaky Tank
Leaks are another obvious sign that all is not well with your water heater. Unlike most of the other symptoms, a leak can cause significant damage if not addressed right away. An expert from Lion Home Service will be able to help you to keep a leaky water heater from doing more damage to your home.
