Common Water Heater Issues Homeowners Face

Your water heater works hard every day, and over time, problems can arise. If you notice any of the following, contact Helms Plumbing and Drains immediately.

  • No hot water or it runs out too fast: Usually from worn parts, breaker issues, or sediment buildup.
  • Unusual noises (rumbling or popping): Often caused by sediment at the bottom making the heater work harder.
  • Leaking or pooling water: Water near the base suggests loose fittings, valve problems, or tank failure.
  • Rusty-looking or odd-smelling water: Discoloration indicates corrosion, while a sulfur-like odor signals bacteria inside the tank.
  • Rising energy bills: A sudden spike in utility costs often points to an older heater struggling to heat water.
