Signs You Need Professional Water Heater Service

If you're experiencing any of the following issues, it may be time to schedule a professional water heater service:

• Inconsistent Water Temperature: If your water is lukewarm or fluctuating in temperature, your unit may have a failing heating element or sediment buildup.
• Rising Utility Bills: Unexplained increases in your water or energy bill could indicate an inefficient water heater struggling to function properly.
• Leaks: Leaks from your water heater can lead to water damage and pose safety risks. Loose fittings, faulty relief valves, or cracks in the tank should be addressed immediately.
• Unusual Noises: Banging or rumbling sounds often signal hardened sediment buildup, which can strain your unit and lead to leaks.
• Discolored or Cloudy Water: Rust-colored or murky water can indicate corrosion inside your water heater tank, affecting water quality.
• Pilot Light Issues: If your gas water heater's pilot light won’t stay lit, it could be due to ventilation problems, a faulty thermocouple, or gas supply issues.

If you notice any of these warning signs, contact Early Bird Plumbing for fast and reliable service.
