3 Problems With An Old Water Heater

Hot water tank experts recommend replacing your water heater if it is older than 15 years. And they are right to do so as an old water heater can cause a variety of water heater issues and pose a threat to your safety and health if not replaced in time. Here are 3 signs that your water heater is dying and the problems it can cause.

1) Rumbling noise

If you hear a rumbling noise each time your water heater is in use, it is one of the key signs that your water heater is dying. Rumbling noise from the water heater indicated the build-up of sediment inside the water tank. This sediment can obstruct the water from getting heated and interfere with the heating efficiency of the water heater. Sediment build-up also reduces the energy efficiency of the water heater as the heater consumes excess energy to achieve the same level of heating. Flush your hot water tank with water once in every 3 months to get rid of sediment formation. If the problem persists, consult your local hot water tank experts and get your old water heater replaced.

2) Water leakage

Water leakage is one of the most troublesome water heater issues. This could be caused due to corrosion or rust forming inside the hot water tank and is irreparable. If not addressed immediately, a rusted water heater could give out rusty water with a metallic taste and smell and could be a dangerous health hazard. Water leakage could also contribute to an increase in your water and energy bills. Replace a leaky water tank at the earliest to save money and safeguard your health and safety.

3) Faulty Pressure Relief Valve

The pressure relief valve is responsible for releasing the excess heat and pressure generated during the water heating process and protecting the water heater from exploding. If your pressure relief valve is not functioning correctly, it will be unable to release the excess pressure due to overheating and your water heater could explode with the pressure of a small bomb. This is a serious risk to safety and a life-threatening problem. Check if your pressure relief valve is functioning properly by snapping it open and observing the water release from the valve. If this does not happen, you need to replace the valve. Sometimes, the pressure relief valve may develop a leak. Do not cap off the valve to fix the leak as this hinders the ability of the valve to release pressure. Instead, ask your local hot water tank experts to replace the valve and ensure your safety. If despite regular replacement of the valve, your water heater continues to overheat, it could be one of the major signs that your water heater is dying.

Watch out for such signs that suggest your water heater is dying and replace it before it can cause damage to your health and pose a risk to your safety. Get in touch with reliable hot water tank experts for the timely replacement and maintenance of your old water heater.

I appreciate that this post highlighted that it is important for us to have our old water heater replaced in the event of loud rumbling noises. The other day my parents mentioned their water heater has been giving out a loud noise. I will definitely look at having their heater replaced.

You immediately caught my attention when you talked about the rumbling noise that old water heaters make. I've been hearing something like this every time we take showers lately, and I wondered if this was just the unit working properly or a sign of old age. Since we've been using this unit for years now, I'll take your advice and find a heating expert that can replace this unit for us.

Problems with household appliances are part of another day in the life of homeownership. But what are you supposed to do when these issues present themselves?
