Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair

If your water heater is showing any of the following warning signs, it’s time to schedule a professional inspection and repair:

  • Leaking Tank – A water heater leak can lead to floor damage and mold growth. Immediate repairs are necessary to prevent major structural damage.
  • Rusty or Odd-Smelling Water – This may indicate corrosion inside the tank or bacterial contamination, requiring flushing or component replacement.
  • No Hot Water or Fluctuating Temperatures – Often caused by a failing heating element, thermostat issues, or sediment buildup.
  • Strange Noises – Clanking, popping, or rumbling sounds often signal excessive sediment buildup or internal corrosion.

Ignoring these early warning signs can lead to expensive breakdowns or a complete system failure. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, schedule a water heater inspection today.

Why Are Water Heater Repairs Necessary?

A failing water heater doesn’t just mean cold showers—it can pose serious risks to your home and health:

  • Water Contamination – Rust, bacteria, and mineral buildup can reduce water quality, posing potential health risks.
  • Higher Utility Bills – An inefficient unit wastes energy, leading to higher water heating costs.
  • Leaks & Water Damage – Unchecked leaks can damage floors, subfloors, and drywall, leading to costly repairs.
  • System Failure – Without regular maintenance, small issues can turn into major system malfunctions, requiring full replacement.

Addressing minor water heater issues early can extend its lifespan and save you from expensive repairs down the road.

Water Heater Maintenance Process

Regular maintenance is the key to maximizing your water heater’s efficiency and longevity. Our maintenance services include:

  • Draining & Flushing the Tank – Removes sediment buildup that reduces heat transfer and efficiency.
  • Checking Structural Integrity – Inspects both the inside and outside of the unit for cracks, leaks, and aging components.
  • Examining Water Hoses – Identifies cracks, corrosion, or high-pressure damage to prevent leaks.
  • Cleaning or Replacing Filters – Ensures proper airflow and prevents dust buildup, which can reduce performance.
  • Testing for Maximum Efficiency – Confirms that the unit is heating water effectively without excessive energy consumption.

By proactively maintaining your water heater, you can extend its lifespan, reduce energy costs, and prevent unexpected breakdowns.

Why You Should Call a Professional for Repairs

Water heaters can produce extremely high temperatures—on average 120°F, but malfunctioning units can exceed 160°F, leading to serious burns and safety risks. Attempting DIY repairs can result in injuries, gas leaks, or electrical hazards.

Atherton Plumbing’s licensed professionals have the experience to:

  • Safely diagnose and repair issues without risk to your home or family.
  • Ensure compliance with safety standards for gas and electric water heaters.
  • Recommend energy-efficient solutions to lower utility costs.

If your water heater is leaking, failing, or showing signs of inefficiency, it’s best to leave repairs to a trained expert.

They were my grandparents plumbing service for years before I bought their home after they had passed and now I am staying with A- Atherton! Andrew and Luke ( from A-Atherton came out in 2020 and did an excellent job putting in a brand new water heater they were fast but efficient and even took the time to explain things to me. The following day after they had installed it I accidentally blew the pilot light out somehow they came right out and turned it back on for me! I am a customer for life Thank You A-Atherton Plumbing!

We have a finished basement with an ejector pump. We came home from work the other evening to find it not working and leaking all over the floor. Yuck! I was able to make an appointment for the next morning through the website. The technician arrived promptly, explained the problem, and quickly fixed it. He efficiently did in a couple hours what took two men 2 days to do last time this happened! He left the area cleaner than he found it and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend and will call them for all my future needs.

House full of guests for Thanksgiving week when our sewer line backed up due to some young grandchildren "activities"! Atherton was out within 1 hour of our call. The technician, Ryan, after assessing the situation, fully explained what steps he was planning on taking if each prior step failed to solve the problem. Got our problem cleared quickly followed by a thorough cleanup. He was professional, polite, and thorough. Highly recommend.

My main drain backed up into the basement. I called Atherton and the young lady who answered the phone was kind and sympathetic. A service person was scheduled that same morning. Before he arrived, I received a photo and basic info so that I knew who was coming. When he got here, he was very easy to talk to and professional. He let me know what the underlying problem was and gave a clear estimate. Then he took care of the problem. I am very pleased with the service I received and will be asking for more help from them in the future.

Prompt and professional service from an experienced crew. I appreciate that Atherton offered a free estimate. While coming up with the quote, Jason walked me through what he'd do if/when he did the installation. It was obvious from how he described the work that he knows his stuff. We accepted the quote and the installation went exactly as Jason described a few days later. We're very happy with out new tankless hot water heater.

11/10 service! Ryan was great and very professional. He was knowledgeable and explained everything really well. The camera he used to show us the inside of our pipes allowed us to see everything he was doing and was just an extra layer of trust. This is the first time I have seen this and impressed me even more. This is definitely a company you can trust and the price was very reasonable. I already have another appointment scheduled which shows just how great they are. Give them a chance and you won't be disappointed.

Atherton’s Plumbing Technician, Ben Shannon, arrived on time. He was very knowledgeable in what he needed to do to repair the plumbing and replace the outside water faucet in our backyard area. It was a bit expensive, but Ben was here ~2.5 hrs since he had to do the plumbing repair inside a wall of our laundry room. The area was cleaned up when he left our home. We definitely appreciated the service being completed the same day that I called in to setup an appointment. We have been an Atherton customer for 35+ years.
