4 of the most common water heater issues!

One of the most often utilized items in any home is the water heater. So it makes sense that a water heater would malfunction, especially if it were overworked or neglected. Additionally, when a water heater nears the end of its useful life, problems could start to occur more frequently. You can use this list to solve some of the most typical water heater issues before booking a Camarillo, California, water heater inspection. 

No Hot Water 

Check to see if your water heater is turned on if it isn't providing hot water. Alternatively, a tripped limit switch or one or more failing heating elements could be at blame for the issue. If the circuit breaker has tripped, check the service panel. If the breaker has tripped, turn it back on after switching it off. Try resetting the heater's temperature settings if the problem isn't with the breaker. 

Water Spill 

Leaks in the plumbing connections or valves are the primary causes of water leaks. A tank-related issue could possibly be the cause of the issue. To avoid any serious harm to your home, be sure to schedule a water heater inspection in Camarillo, CA, as soon as you can. To stop further leaks, switch off the water supply to the water heater tank and drain the water that has already been stored. 

Rough Water 

Is the color of your tap water red, brown, or yellow? If so, there is a good probability that your water heater's interior has corroded. The water pipes may also be corroded. Similarly, bacteria in your water heater tank may be the cause of bad-smelling tap water. Replace the tank's anode rod if necessary. To solve the issue, hire an HVAC contractor in Camarillo, California, and have the water heater inspected. 

Note: You might need to replace the corroded tank if cleaning it doesn't work. 

Unusual Sounds 

A water heater may occasionally emit weird noises, such as popping, low rumbling, or high-pitched wailing. The water tank overheats when there is an excessive buildup of sediment at the bottom of the water heater tank. Check to see if the sediment can be removed by draining the water tank. If it doesn't, it is advised to contact a Camarillo, California, water heater repair company.
