If you have ever been without hot water, you know that household chores either grind to a halt or are incredibly challenging to complete without hot water. Taking a shower, cleaning dishes, and running laundry are all better with hot water access. If your water heater is on the fritz, Apollo Home is the trusted source for all water heater repairs in Cincinnati, Ohio area, including Northern Kentucky and Indiana.
Signs Your Water Heater May Need Repairs
Sometimes identifying what might just be quirks of your water heater’s age or configuration and what is a problem for a professional to look at can be challenging. For example, a standard water heater tank may take longer to build up the hot water supply. Here are some more severe problems that might require a professional:
- Tank corrosion or Leaking: Check if water is pooling underneath the tank. If there is also corrosion on the tank, that could indicate that the tank is leaking and complete failure is not far off.
- Foul Smells: Rotten-smelling hot water can indicate a bacterial infestation inside the tank, which requires complete flushing to clean out.
- Odd Noises: Water heaters should operate quietly. If you hear rattling, whining, or banging noises, get a professional plumber to check out what may be wrong.
- Low Water Pressure: A sudden drop in hot water pressure indicates a problem.
- Malfunctioning Pilot Light or Gas Burner: If your pilot light is not staying lit or won’t light at all, you should call a plumber.
