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.

We had a stopped kitchen drain that came on suddenly as family dinner was being prepared. I tried plunging the blockage, but got nowhere. Using Atherton's convenient online service request form to schedule an appointment, and had a plumber here at 8 AM the next morning! Ryan was efficient, pleasant, and informative as he got to work. He was able to feed a snake through the sink drain and clear the clog, which was found about 10 feet down the pipe. He cleared the line for about 40 ft to make sure the clog was gone. He cleaned up the sink area and was gone in about 45 minutes start to finish. And the work is warranted for 90 days. We're VERY happy with the work from Atherton Plumbing.

Ryan and Atherton were awesome! The kitchen sink backed up around 6:30 the evening of 23 Dec. we had a houseful coming over for Christmas and the having no kitchen sink, disposal, or dishwasher was not part of the plan. I tried to clear it myself but no luck. Called several area plumbers and Friday was the first available for most. I finally found one that could do 12-5 on Christmas Eve and booked it. At 1:00 Christmas Eve that one called to reschedule for Friday due to an emergency job! Could not talk them into working something out. My wife told me to call Atherton because she had heard how good they were. So 1:30 Christmas Eve they booked me for a 12-4 slot! No trip charge, no premium time, just sending Ryan out. Got there around 4:00, cleaned the drain, and done. He was very personable and professional. Had a nice friendly chat and he squared us away. Price was very reasonable. Atherton will be at the top of my list next time around!

I called Atherton Plumbing randomly because my water heater’s pilot light went out and I couldn’t get it to fire back up. Initially, I spoke with Susan (I believe that was her name) who was pleasant and helpful getting emergency service set up for me. Within an hour, Jerry arrived at my home and quickly resolved the issue (as it turns out, I wasn’t doing the process correctly to get the pilot fired back up). He was very amiable and explained everything that he was doing as he did it, which I really appreciated. He additionally did a walk-through to check the shutoff valves in my house and provided me with estimates to upgrade the valves that will eventually need to be replaced. He also provided me with other quotes for other potential repairs for the future. I am not someone easily impressed, but I was definitely impressed with the level of customer service and the friendliness of Susan and Jerry. When the need arises, I will definitely reach out to Atherton again in the future!

Atherton Plumbing came through for me at 8:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning—just five days before Christmas. Jerry inspected our sump pump and quickly identified that the switch had gone bad after 8 years on a very active system. He replaced it efficiently and was extremely thorough with the installation. I especially appreciated that Jerry wore foot covers when entering our home—such a thoughtful and professional touch. He was amazing, very gracious, and pleasant to work with, even that early on a weekend. I highly recommend Jerry for any plumbing work in your home!
