Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair
It’s not always clear that your water heater needs attention. If it takes some time to recharge after periods of higher hot water usage, that’s normal.
Even so, there are some signs your water heater needs repair that shouldn’t be ignored, including:
- Dirty or discolored water: Sediment or rust in the water heater tank can cause discoloration, but so can rusty pipes.
- Electrical issues: When your water heater repeatedly cycles or trips circuit breakers, it can’t deliver the hot water you need.
- Increasing utility bills: Spiking power bills can have many causes, including when the water heater isn’t running as efficiently as it should.
- Leaks around the tank: Pooling water around the tank or near visible corrosion is a serious problem.
- No hot water: If any water heater components fail or malfunction, you might be totally without hot water.
- Strange noises: Water heaters usually run silently. If not, there may be a problem.
- Strange odors: Water heater tank malfunctions can promote bacteria growth, which produces foul smells.
When To Repair vs. Replace Your Water Heater
When your water heater breaks down or completely fails, it may be hard to gauge whether it’s worth repairing or replacing. Often, it’s assumed that repairing will be more cost-effective than replacing, but this isn’t always the case.
If your water heater frequently malfunctions and needs repair or is over 10 years old, it’s most likely time to replace it.
Upgrading your water heater can often lower your utility bill, as a new model is more energy-efficient than your current unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I repair my water heater myself?
We understand the temptation to repair your water heater yourself. However, a certified plumber is needed to address water heater breakdowns and repairs. Trying to address these issues yourself can cause larger problems.
Why is my water heater rumbling?
Rumbling noises can be caused by sediment buildup, such as limescale over the heat exchanger. This causes steam bubbles. It can also be caused by too much cold water entering the tank at once.
Why does it take so long for my water to heat up?
Several things can cause or contribute to this issue, such as:
- Distance of the shower or sink from your water heater
- How much cold water was in your pipes
- Sediment buildup in the tank
- Low volume restriction
How many types of water heaters are there?
There are two types of water heaters: standard tank and tankless models. Within these two types, water heaters can be fueled by gas, oil, or electricity.
