Water heater problems often show warning signs before a complete failure. If you notice leaking, unreliable hot water, unusual sounds, or repeated system shutdowns, schedule an inspection before the problem worsens.
Common signs that your water heater may need service include:
- Inconsistent water temperature or hot water that runs out unusually quickly
- Water pooling around the tank or visible leaking
- Discolored or unusual-smelling hot water
- Popping or rumbling noises from the tank
- A pilot light that repeatedly goes out
- Tripped breakers or recurring electrical issues
- Unexplained increases in energy use
What to Do If Your Water Heater Is Leaking
If your water heater is actively leaking, shut off the water supply to the unit if you can do so safely and contact a plumber for service. For an electric water heater, power can be turned off at the dedicated breaker if it is safe to access. If you smell gas or hear hissing near a gas-fired unit, leave the area and contact your gas utility or emergency services.
