Common water heater problems, causes and solutions

There are various reasons for a faulty water heater and its professional plumbers to diagnose best and repair them. It’s however, essential you know there is a problem in the first place to be able to call the experts in.


Here are the common issues with water heaters, its causes and solutions:


  • Water temperature problems
    Water temperature issues are a common complaint. And most of the time, it’s resolved by adjusting the water tank temperature because you may have accidentally changed it. Some people also have the habit of reducing the water tank temperature during summer months to save energy. In this case, increasing the temperature fixes the problems for the cold winter months. However, if the water doesn’t heat after increasing the temperature increases, it’s usually because of a faulty thermostat. The problem can be rectified by replacing the thermostat. There are other reasons for water temperature fluctuations like a water tank leak and mineral deposits. They are better treated by professionals and not ignored. Our professionals will take a look at your water heater to ascertain and resolve the problem for you.
  • Discolored or smelly water
    This is another common water heater problem. Water discoloration is usually caused by high mineral deposits like iron and copper, making pipes rust. It can in time lead to plumbing system problems. Installing a water softener system generally resolves the condition. In the case of smelly water, there are many possible reasons for it. Suppose it smells like rotten eggs or sewage, then it may be because of bacterial growth in the water tank. Thoroughly flushing the water tank usually resolves the problem. If the smell persists, then a corroded anode rod may be the problem, and it needs replacement. If it’s a garlic smell you get from the pipes, it’s usually because the pilot light needs relighting. But if it’s a gas smell, then it may be an emergency. Do not attempt to do anything but call the professionals right away.
  • Noisy water heater
    Noisy water heaters aren’t a threat of any kind. They are just annoying. There are various reasons for the noise like excessive build up of minerals. Flushing the water heater out at least once a year helps prevent it. A deteriorating heating element can also make noise, and replacing it is the solution. However, you have to call professionals immediately if it’s a boiling sound you hear. It is usually the sound of dangerous pressure accumulation caused by the unit overheating.
  • Water heater leakage
    Water leaks are quite apparent because you will notice water pools near the unit. There may also be water dripping from the unit or pipes leading to it. The leak can also lead to a drop in the water temperature. You need to know why the leak is to repair it because there are many causes for it. For example, it may be age, a loose drain valve, a poor water heater installation, poor maintenance, or the tank’s pressure. If the cause of the leak is a loose valve, tightening it resolves the problem. However, if it’s a corroded water tank, then it needs replacement.
  • Damaged gas control or burner
    Water heaters won’t work efficiently if the burner or gas control is dirty or non-functional. Replacing the damaged burner assembly or thermocouple as it’s also known, gives a solution. You can do it yourself, but only after first turning off the gas and water connections. However, you can always, and it’s better to call the professionals if in doubt.

I initially contacted Dima Plumbing based on the great reviews on Homestars. I had two small projects and John did a great job each time. First I had to change a tap in the backyard which bursted during winter. John responded promptly to my message and came the next day doing the job quickly and professional. Based on this experience I contacted him again when my kitchen sink got clogged and I got the same professional service. I would definitely recommend Dima Plumbing.
