Signs You Need Emergency Water Heater Repair

It’s not always obvious when your water heater needs professional attention—but ignoring the signs can lead to major damage or total failure. Contact us immediately if you notice any of the following:

No Hot Water

The most obvious sign. If your water isn’t heating at all, it could be due to a failed heating element, thermostat, or a more serious internal issue.

Water Heater Leaks

Leaks around the base of your water heater can indicate corrosion or a failing tank. Left unchecked, this can cause floor damage or mold growth.

Discolored or Rusty Water

Brown or yellow water coming from hot taps usually signals internal corrosion or rusting pipes—both signs your heater may be near failure.

Strange Noises

Popping, rumbling, or hissing noises often mean sediment buildup inside the tank. This lowers efficiency and can lead to overheating or cracks.

Water That’s Too Hot (or Not Hot Enough)

Fluctuating temperatures are usually due to a faulty thermostat or mixing valve. These should be inspected quickly to avoid scalding or system damage.
