Your water heater works day and night to provide you and your family with hot water whenever you need it. And because these systems sit tucked away in a basement or garage, it’s difficult to know when something is wrong.
Here are some common signs that your water heater may be failing.
Strange Noises
Water heaters should work silently, so if you hear strange noises like popping, gurgling, or groaning, it usually means there’s too much sediment built up in the tank, which is typical for those with hard water issues.
Lack of Hot Water
Do you notice that you have to cut your morning shower short because you’re running out of hot water? Water heaters lose efficiency as they get older and can’t supply the amount of hot water they did when they were new.
Rusty or Cloudy Water
When rusty or cloudy water comes out of the hot water tap, it could be a problem with bacteria infesting the tank, or it may be that the tank itself is rusting. Sometimes, flushing the tank will get rid of the bacteria, but you’ll have to replace it if the tank is rusting through.
Water Leaks
Water leaks don’t always mean you have to replace the water heater; it depends on where the water leak is coming from. If it’s from the top of the tank, it could be a loose connection with the cold water pipe. However, if it’s coming from the bottom of the tank, it could be a sign the tank is about to fail and replacement is the only option.
Age
The average lifespan of a water heater is between 10 and 15 years, so if your system is in the last stages of its life, it’s better to plan on replacing it soon before you start having problems.
If you suspect your water heater isn’t operating at full capacity, call one of our experienced technicians for inspection and maintenance.

Clogged drains come with owning a home. Hair, grease, food debris, and foreign objects are common causes of drain clogs.
And while people swear by home remedies and chemical drain cleaners, these methods don’t always work and can be dangerous in some situations.
You may not think about calling a professional plumber to clean your drains, but here are several reasons to consider.
Home Remedies Don’t Always Work
Home remedies like hot water, dish soap, and vinegar can help with small, weak clogs, but they’re usually not strong enough to clear out stubborn obstructions like tree roots, hair, and grease.
Chemical Drain Cleaners Are Dangerous
Most people pick up a chemical drain cleaner to solve the problem when facing a drain clog. However, while these products are inexpensive, easy to use, and seem to work, they can be deadly to your plumbing system.
These products contain highly caustic chemicals like bleach, lye, and peroxide and generate heat to remove blockages. However, this chemical reaction can soften PVC pipes causing the seals and joints to weaken and break, leaving you with leaks.
You Don’t Know What’s Down In Your Drains
No two clogs are alike — some are caused by hair, others by cooking grease. If you don’t know the cause of the clog, you won’t know the best solution to fix it.
Because professional plumbers have the training and experience, they are better equipped to determine why your drains are clogged and the best solution to the problem, which saves valuable time.
