Water heaters are critical to the functioning of most plumbing systems. Your home may need access to hot water for a variety of reasons, and it’s important that your water heater is up to the task. However, like most appliances, it may need some repairs after a lot of use.
Water heaters tend to start experiencing certain issues before they break down. Here are three that you should look out for:
- Decreased Performance. After a while, you may find that your water heater isn’t performing as well as it used to. It may run out of hot water too quickly, or the water itself may be cooler than expected. This can be caused by a variety of problems with your water tank and should be addressed by a plumber.
- Reduced Water Pressure. When there is a problem with your water heater, you may notice that turning your water hot causes the water pressure to decrease. This can indicate a problem with your water tank, and if you notice a significant water pressure decrease, you should contact a plumber to uncover the issue.
- Discolored or Cloudy Water. If your hot water is not clear, it may be caused by an issue with your water heater. A plumber can tell you whether this issue is caused by rust buildup in your water tank or by another malfunction that needs to be addressed.
