YOUR TANK IS LEAKING
Check your water heater to see if there is any water pooling underneath. If there’s corrosion as well, that’s a sign the tank is leaking and could cause complete failure or damage your home’s structure if not repaired.
YOUR HOT WATER SMELLS BAD
Foul-smelling hot water can indicate a bacterial infestation that requires a full tank flush to clean it out and make your hot water safer.
YOUR WATER HEATER IS NOISY
Water heaters shouldn’t rattle or emit whining noises or banging sounds. If you hear your water heater at all, it’s likely to need repair.
