Signs Your Hot Water Heater Is Failing

Identifying the early warning signs of water heater failure can prevent unexpected breakdowns. Some obvious issues are easy to spot, like inconsistent water temperature or discolored or rusty water. The former can be the result of a failing heating element, gas element, or thermostat, while the latter is usually the result of corrosion or a failing anode rod.

Additionally, you can watch out for the following signs:

  • Strange noises (popping, banging, rumbling): Sediment accumulation can cause overheating, leading to these sounds and reduced efficiency.
  • Leaks around the base of the tank: Even minor drips can indicate internal tank failure or a loose connection and require immediate attention.
  • Low hot water pressure: Often caused by sediment or mineral buildup restricting water flow in the pipes or inside the heater.
  • Water takes too long to heat: A sign of a failing heating element, burner issues, or excessive sediment insulating the bottom of the tank.
  • Frequent pilot light or ignition problems: Gas models with faulty thermocouples or ignition systems can struggle to stay lit.

What To Do When Your Hot Water Tank Leaks?

A leaking water heater can turn into a major disaster and create serious electrical hazards, making immediate action essential. When this happens, first shut off the power and water supply, locate the source of the leak, and drain the tank if necessary. Once the area is secure, call Mike Lambert's Plumbing & Heating, Inc. for emergency repair services.
