Common Water Heater Problems

Leaking Water Heaters

There are several possible causes of a leaking water heater. A problematic pressure-relief valve is a common source of leaks. A loose drain valve is another frequent culprit; ensure it’s tightened and all other inlet and outlet connections are also tight and in good condition. They should be free of rust and corrosion. Also, if the water pressure in your home is too high, the tank might struggle to contain water. A pressure-reducing valve can help in that instance. Finally, an old, deteriorated tank or one with cracks is prone to leaking and needs to be replaced.

Finally, an old, deteriorated tank or one with cracks is prone to leaking and needs to be replaced. 

Water's Too Hot

Water that runs too hot is dangerous. Ensure your water heater’s thermometer is set to the correct temperature. While most manufacturers recommend a temperature setting of 120-140 degrees Fahrenheit, 120 degrees is sufficient for most households. If your heater is set to the correct temperature but still runs too hot, the problem could be a faulty thermostat. In electric water heaters, a malfunctioning heating element could be working overtime to heat the water when it should turn off. Sediment buildup and a broken dip tube could also be to blame. Contact water heater repair specialists immediately to prevent scalding from hot water.

Water Smells

Is the temperature of the hot water just fine, but you detect an unpleasant smell when it's running? Some people describe the odor as similar to rotten eggs. It’s often caused by hydrogen sulfide or sulfur bacteria in the water heater. This issue develops when hot water sits in the tank for too long, particularly if you live in an area with high sulfur content in the water and the heater's temperature is set to a warm rather than a hot setting. A plumber typically solves this problem by flushing and disinfecting the water heater tank and possibly replacing the anode rod.
