Your Water Heater Is Asking for a Helping Hand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These are the signs that you\u2019re water heater is\nmetaphorically tapping you on the shoulder and asking for a little assistance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.     \nRumbling Noises<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your water heater is rumbling like it\u2019s a volcano ready to blow. Generally speaking, any noise that you hear from your water heater is a problem. Your water heater isn\u2019t exactly placed smack in the middle of the hallway in your home. It\u2019s probably tucked away somewhere. That means that your water heater noise is loud enough for you to hear it from afar. This is never a good sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rumbling happens when there is sediment in your tank that settles, hardens, and becomes an obstacle for your water to move past. This noise is the sound of your water heater struggling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.     \nPopping Sounds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So the sound you\u2019re hearing isn\u2019t really rumbling, it\u2019s more of a popping sound. Popping is actually caused by the same problem as rumbling. Your water is trying to pass through a barrier of sediment build-up. The popping sound is just a more aggressive version of rumbling indicating that hot water is compressed underneath the sediment and trying to break free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.     \nDiscolored Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your water should always be clear and completely transparent. If it isn\u2019t, then it means that you\u2019re dealing with a decaying water heater. If you notice that your water is tinged yellow, orange, or even brown, then you should contact one of our service professionals. Discolored water will lead to further problems as it can be a sign of corrosion in your system. Addressing the issue now will save you time and money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.     \nFoul Smelling Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your water just smells bad. The scents might range from a sulfuric smell to something that\u2019s a little more metallic. Either way, we want to rectify this issue because it\u2019s not something you should deal with. Your water should always be clean and pristine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.     \nBad Tasting Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your water just tastes\u2026 bad. There might be an odd aftertaste in your mouth, or you might notice a metallic taste when you\u2019re drinking it. This is a clear sign of corrosion. Little bits of the interior of your water heater are sloughing off and finding their way into your water. Don\u2019t settle for bathing in or consuming water with sediment in it. We\u2019re here to help you rid your home of this problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
