Having hot water is essential for any home, and a malfunctioning water heater can cause major disruption. If you're experiencing any of these common water heater issues, it's time to call a professional plumber: 

  • No hot water: This is the most obvious sign of a problem. There could be a variety of reasons, including a faulty heating element, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a sediment buildup in the tank.
  • Lukewarm water: Your water heater might not be producing enough heat, which could be due to a failing heating element, improper thermostat setting, or a lot of sediment due to the water heater age and water quality.
  • Leaking water: A leak can indicate a serious problem with the tank or pipes. Don't ignore a leak, as it can lead to water damage and mold growth.
  • Strange noises: If you hear popping, banging, or rumbling coming from your water heater, it could be a sign of sediment buildup or a failing heating element
