Gas-Powered Water Heater Warning Signs
If your heater is powered by gas, there will be a pilot light. If that light keeps going out, there could be a draft causing the problem. Alternatively, it could be an indication of a bigger problem with the gas line leading to the appliance. Either way, you should have a professional take a look at your water heater as soon as possible.

The Signs of Water Heater Damage
The following are prominent signs that it’s time to have one of our techs take a look at your water heater:
- Cool temperatures: When the water heater is broken, the water will be cooler. It’s possible that this could be a thermostat issue. If your thermostat temperature has moved lower than 120 degrees Fahrenheit, try to reset the thermostat. If that works, the problem is solved. If the water is still cool, or if the temperatures are inconsistent, then the water heater has probably been damaged.
- Noise from the water heater: Hardened sediment can damage the water heater. The tipoff for property owners is when hardened sediment builds up and starts banging around the water heater. It’s possible that draining the water heater might solve the problem. If it doesn’t work, reach out to our plumbers. If this issue isn’t resolved, it can eventually lead to leaks.
- Water leaks: Leaks are a surefire sign that your water heater is in need of repair. There are several possible causes of the leak. There could be loose fittings. The relief valve may not be working properly, causing water to be pushed out. The tank itself might be cracked. Whatever the cause, repair is needed, because this is all building to the possibility of a water heater explosion.
- Water discoloration: Seeing rust-colored water can be a sign of several different plumbing issues. Water heater problems are one of them. This can happen when the tank starts to rust, and that rust finds its way into the home’s water supply. Cloudy water is another potential tip-off, perhaps an early warning sign of sediment buildup.
- Increasing utility bills: Are your bills suddenly higher without any reasonable explanation? This is likely to be a plumbing problem of some kind, and the water heater is on the list of possible culprits. Leaks have a direct impact on the amount of water used in the house. Sediment buildup can mean the water flow isn’t efficient, and when a system has to work harder, it costs more to maintain. If you can’t explain the higher bills through a significant change in lifestyle, then call a water heater repair tech from our office.
