Here are some of the top things to look for when you suspect your hot water tank needs attention.
Running out of hot water faster than usual may indicate a problem with the heating element or thermostat.
If the water temperature is inconsistent, it could signal issues with the thermostat or heating element. If the water takes longer than usual to heat up, the heating elements or tank insulation might fail.
Rusty or murky water can suggest corrosion inside the tank or problems with the anode rod.
Knocking, rumbling, or popping sounds from the tank often indicate sediment buildup affecting the heater’s operation. Any signs of water pooling around the base of the tank indicate a leak that needs immediate attention.

If your water isn’t reaching the desired temperature, check the thermostat settings on your hot water tank. If they’re set correctly but the water is still not hot enough, there could be an issue with the heating element, thermostat, or sediment buildup. Give us a call and one of our technicians can diagnose and fix the issue.
Strange noises, such as popping or rumbling, are typically caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. The sediment traps water beneath it, which then overheats and produces the noise. Often, flushing the tank can resolve this issue. If the issue persists after flushing, your best bet is to have a professional take a look.
