Corona’s Reliable Water Heater Repair

There are two different types of water heaters that you can invest in for your home. These are the cylindrical tank-style water heater and the tankless water heater. By far, the most popular option is the tank-style water heater due to its affordability and ease of use. This type of unit will have an expected life span of around 8 to 12 years.

Over this time, you may experience some key signs that will let you know your water heater needs professional attention.

• Lukewarm water
• Sediment in water
• Discolored water
• Water that’s too hot
• One particularly frustrating issue you may experience is that your water heater is only producing lukewarm water. Unless you’ve recently used a very large amount of hot water and drained your storage tank, the inability of your water heater to get up to temperature is likely due to a faulty heating element. Water heaters will have two different heating elements that work to get them up to temperature. When one of them fails, your water will warm up slightly, but not all the way.

If you run some hot water for cooking or washing and notice that there is sediment floating in it, it can be an indication that there’s excessive buildup inside your water heater. This is more common when your home has hard water. Typically, one of our plumbing professionals can come out and flush your water heater to remove that excess sediment buildup.

One alarming issue with your water heater is that it can produce rust-colored water. Once you check to ensure that this color only comes from the hot side of the faucet, you’ll know the problem is with the inside of your water heater. All storage tank water heaters will have an anode rod to help prevent this. The anode rod will deteriorate instead of your tank rusting. However, when your anode rod completely deteriorates, it will need to undergo replacement service to prevent further corrosion inside the tank.
