Comparison of maintained and neglected residential water heaters

Signs you need this service

  • Water is leaking from the tank body or collecting around the base.
  • Hot water runs out much sooner than usual.
  • The unit makes persistent popping, rumbling or hissing sounds.
  • Hot water is rusty, discolored or has an unusual odor.

Safe first steps

  1. Keep clear of hot water and steam and do not block a relief-valve discharge pipe.
  2. If the tank is leaking, follow the manufacturer shut-down instructions only when safe to do so.
  3. For a gas odor, leave the building and contact emergency services or the gas utility from outside.
  4. Record the model, serial number, fuel type and approximate installation date before calling.

Water Heaters questions

Can a leaking water-heater tank be patched?

A leak from the tank body generally indicates tank failure. Leaks from valves or connections may have different remedies, so identify the source before deciding.

Why does a water heater make popping sounds?

Sediment or scale can contribute to noise, but diagnosis depends on the unit type and condition. Persistent noise should be evaluated.

Does replacement require a permit?

Requirements vary by jurisdiction and project details. Confirm them with the local enforcing agency and the licensed contractor responsible for the work.
