When to Call Our Water Heater Repair Team
Sometimes, the signs of a broken or malfunctioning water heater are obvious. At other times, they can be more subtle. Recognizing these subtler symptoms can help you know when it’s time to call our team before the issue escalates.
The subtler signs of a broken water heater may include:
- Lukewarm or cold water: If your taps only produce lukewarm or cold water, your water heater could be struggling to maintain the set temperature.
- Irregular smells or tastes: Unusual smells, like a metallic or sulfuric odor, or odd tastes in your water, can signal a problem within the heater.
- Unexpected water bills: Spiking water or energy bills without increased usage often point to an inefficient or malfunctioning water heater.
- Decreased water pressure: A significant drop in water pressure within your hot water lines may indicate sediment buildup inside the tank.
- Visible rust or sediment: Rusty water or visible sediment in your water supply can be a sign that the interior of your heater is corroding.
- Condensation: If you notice condensation forming around your heater, it might be working harder than it should—or leaking.
If any of these indicators sound familiar, scheduling a repair appointment with Chenevert Plumbing Repair is a good idea to keep your water heater in working order.

How to Protect Your Water Heater
Avoiding common water heater issues is all about regular maintenance and being mindful of a few key practices. If you want to keep your water heater in good condition, taking proactive steps is crucial.
You can help keep your water heater healthy by:
- Flushing it out: Periodically flush your water heater to remove sediment buildup, which can reduce efficiency and lead to overheating.
- Checking the anode rod: Inspect the anode rod annually and replace it if it’s heavily corroded, as it helps prevent rust inside the tank.
- Monitoring temperature settings: Keep the thermostat set around 120 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent scalding and reduce energy consumption.
- Insulating the tank: Adding an insulation blanket around the tank can help maintain water temperature and improve efficiency, especially for older units.
- Inspecting for leaks: Regularly check around the unit for any signs of water leaks or moisture buildup, indicating a failing tank.
- Examining the pressure relief valve: Test the pressure relief valve to ensure it’s functioning correctly and is not clogged.
- Scheduling professional maintenance: Enlist our team for help conducting an annual inspection to catch any emerging issues early and perform necessary maintenance tasks.
With these simple steps, you can protect your water heater from many common problems, extend its lifespan, and help it operate efficiently to meet your household’s hot water needs.

Understanding Your Water Heater Repair Options
Our team can use several approaches to address your water heater issues. For minor concerns, a simple fix like adjusting the thermostat or replacing a faulty heating element can often resolve temperature inconsistencies or an inadequate hot water supply. Flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup is another common repair method that can restore efficiency and eliminate any strange noises coming from the unit. In cases involving electrical issues, tightening connections or replacing damaged components such as the gas control valve or thermocouple can get your water heater back to optimal performance.
However, there are situations when repairing your water heater might not be the best option, and replacement becomes necessary. One key indicator is the age of your unit; most water heaters have a lifespan of around 10-15 years. If your system is approaching or beyond this age range, frequent repairs could become less cost-effective than installing a new, more efficient model. Additionally, if you notice substantial rust in your water or around the tank, this can indicate significant corrosion inside the unit, often signaling the end of its useful life. Persistent leaks despite multiple repairs can also suggest that it’s time for a replacement. By recognizing these signs early, you can avoid unexpected breakdowns and enjoy the benefits of a new, reliable water heater with advanced features and improved energy efficiency.
