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.

The shower head in the main bathroom broke on Tuesday night. I phoned Atherton Plumbing on Wednesday morning and they arrived within 20 minutes. The plumber evaluated the problem and gave me a choice of buying my own new shower head or he would get one. He waited while I drove to Home Depot (close to my house) told me the cost to install it. He installed it and charged me for an hour work. Very prompt service, good work and I would definitely recommend them.

We contacted Atherton to check into some leaking occurring around the bases of both of our home's toilets. It was determined that the wax flanges had worn out. After speaking with my wife we decided to replace the hall bathroom toilet with a new model. The techs, Lloyd and his son, had it totally replaced in about 30 minutes. My wife liked the new toilet so much we contacted Atherton to replace the master toilet as well. The technician who came out, Andrew, stayed after his shift to get the new toilet installed and it's fantastic as well! I would recommend this company and their techs to anyone who wants a reliable, trustworthy company to handle their plumbing needs!
