Water Heaters & Plumbing

If you’re like most people, you probably don’t give much thought to your water heater or plumbing until something goes wrong. But the truth is, these systems are essential to your home’s comfort and function.

Water heaters and plumbing systems are complex, and even small problems can quickly turn into big ones if left unchecked. That’s why it’s important to be familiar with some of the most common issues that can crop up, as well as the warning signs that indicate it might be time to call a professional for assistance.

Common Problems With Water Heaters

Water heaters can become leaky, especially if they’re old or have a faulty valve or a crack in the tank. They can also fail to adequately heat the water over time, and a lack of hot water can be caused by either a faulty thermostat or a build-up of sediment in the tank.

Or, you may have issues with the pilot light, which ignites the gas that heats the water in the tank. If the pilot light goes out, the water heater will not be able to heat the water. You may or may not be able to relight the pilot light on your own depending on the make and model of your water heater and the location of the light.

Water Heater Warning Signs

There are several indicators you should look for to check if your water heater may be malfunctioning, like strange noises coming from your water heater, leaking water, lack of hot water, or water that is only tepid.

If you have a water heater leak, it’s important to call a professional right away. A leak can not only lead to costly repairs, but it can also cause serious water damage to your home.

Common Problems With Plumbing

Most homeowners have to deal with a clogged drain at least once, if not several times in their life. A clogged drain can be caused by a variety of things, including a build-up of hair, soap scum, or even food. Sometimes, clogs can be cleared with drain cleaner or a snake tool, but many times, a plumber needs to use specialized equipment to reach and remove the clog.

Another common plumbing problem is a leaky faucet or pipe, which can waste a lot of water over time. It may only leak into your sink, causing higher water bills but not posing any risk to your home structures. But if you have a pipe that is leaking or has burst, you’re more likely to deal with structural damage, making it crucial to have the pipe or faucet serviced right away.

Plumbing Warning Signs

If you see water pooled on the floor, hear dripping coming from the walls, have low water pressure, or if your toilet is repeatedly clogged, this could be an indication of a leak or clog that could cause property damage if left unchecked.
