COMMON WATER HEATER PROBLEMS

How do you know if it’s time to call your plumber for water heater repair? Some common water heater issues include:

Lack of hot water

Water is not as hot as usual

Pilot light goes out

Rust in water

Water heater is leaking from the top or bottom

Clanging sounds from high pressure

Water has foul odor (often the case with well water)

If you notice these or other problems, contact us for an inspection. We will evaluate the situation and determine if a repair or replacement is the best solution.

WHEN IS REPLACEMENT NECESSARY?

Once water heaters are past their warranty, or older than 10 years, they start to show signs of breaking down. It is often more cost effective to replace your unit than to continue with costly repairs.

Signs you need to install a new water heater:

Leaking tank

Rust or sediment in the water

Failure to provide the desired water temperature

Feel like you’re wasting money on constant repairs? Contact Chicago Sewer Experts and we will help you find a new water heater that fits your needs and budget. Whether it is an electric or gas unit, you can rest assured we will install it for you according to code.

WHY IS THE TANK LEAKING?

Water heater leaks are often associated with the hot water outlet and the cold water inlet. A loose connection in this area can lead to leaks.

The pressure relief valve is also another component that can cause problems. Your water heater is designed to release pressure if the water becomes too hot and builds too much pressure.

Internal leaks also create problems. The bottom of the tank can leak with age and deterioration.
