Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair
It's important to be aware of signs that may indicate your water heater needs repair. Here are some common signs to look out for:
- Lack of Hot Water: Reduced or insufficient hot water may indicate thermostat or heating element issues.
- Inconsistent Water Temperature: Fluctuations during use suggest problems with the thermostat, heating element, or sediment buildup.
- Strange Noises: Unusual sounds (popping, banging) could signal sediment buildup affecting efficiency.
- Leaking Water: Water around the tank base or on the floor may indicate valve, connection, or tank corrosion issues.
- Rusty Water: Discolored water signals possible corrosion inside the tank, requiring attention.
- Foul Odors: Unpleasant smells from hot water taps may indicate bacterial growth due to insufficient cleaning.
- Low Water Pressure: Reduced pressure, especially with hot water, may result from sediment or pipe clogs.
- Age of the Water Heater: Water heaters have a lifespan of 8-12 years; consider replacement if nearing this age.
- Pilot Light Issues: For gas heaters, recurrent pilot light issues may suggest problems with the thermocouple or gas supply.
- Visible Signs of Corrosion: Corrosion on the tank exterior or pipe connections indicates deterioration and potential failure.

The water line that comes into the house burst in the middle of the night and we couldn't get the water turned off. We called Carter Quality Plumbing and they sent Randy out in the early hours of the morning. He was able to diagnose the problem and get the water off very quickly. He came back to make the necessary repairs and everything was done in a timely manner. Randy was excellent to work with and very professional. Will definitely use Carter Quality again in the future!Linda H.

Carter Quality is top notch! Very helpful, prompt, and reliable. We needed our entire home re-plumbed while our crawl space was being repaired. They worked very closely with the other contractor to take the stress and worry off of us while it was being done. I will recommend them to anyone, whether the job is big or small. Great organization!Amy A.
