There is nothing like a hot shower to start the day. But if your water heater is not working properly, you might be in for an unpleasant surprise. Water heaters are an integral part of the plumbing system and of day-to-day life, affecting everything from bathing to laundry and dishes. Most models last 8 to 12 years, at which point they may begin to fail. Other factors, like hard water and pressure issues, can cause premature wear and tear as well.
If you need water heater repair, trust Clavey Plumbing & Drains, LLC, for fast, effective assistance. Our team of friendly, experienced professionals specializes in water heater replacement and repair. We also provide routine maintenance and water heater work on both tanked and tankless models.
Routine maintenance and tuneups can prevent many issues. Eventually, though, even well-kept systems may require repair. If you encounter any of the following, call Clavey Plumbing & Drains for help.
A lack of hot water is often the telltale sign that you need water heater repair. However, sometimes the system will produce inconsistent temperatures in the initial stages of a breakdown. Check the tank’s temperature settings first. If changing the setting doesn’t fix the issue, it may indicate a faulty heating element or burner.
If water pools around the tank, it may indicate a crack in the tank. A leak diminishes the system’s efficiency and can eventually cause mold growth and water damage to the surrounding area.
Weak pressure can occur for one of two reasons. One, mineral deposits can accumulate over time in the tank and pipes, inhibiting water flow. Two, a leak can reduce pressure, leading to insufficient supply to the fixtures.
