Have you noticed your water heater leaking? Or, maybe the rumbling or banging sounds have become more common. These could be signs of important issues that need to be addressed. Here is what you need to know.
Rumbling or banging noises can be a common occurrence with water heaters, and this is usually an indication of sediment build-up in the water heater. This is normal over time, but can lead to big problems if proper maintenance isn’t performed. You should be draining your water heater once or twice a year as part of routine maintenance, but if this hasn’t been happening, or you notice an increase in banging or rumbling, having a service technician come out and take care of this for you can extend the life of your water heater, and keep things running smoothly.
Do you suspect you might have a water heater leak? You might think it’s just condensation on the outside of your tank, but an easy way to check this is to turn off all water use in the house, and check your meter. Is it moving? Chances are high, you have a water heater leak! Some leaks are small and easy to fix, but others may need a licensed plumber or technician to address them. Don’t let a small leak turn into a big problem.
