Frequently Asked Questions
Tank Water Heater Repair

The most common causes are sediment buildup in the bottom of the tank, a failed heating element or thermostat on an electric unit, a burner or thermostat problem on a gas unit, or a tank that is too small for your household. Flushing the tank often helps; our technicians also replace elements and thermostats.

Rusty or brown hot water usually means the anode rod is used up and the inside of the tank has started to corrode. If only the hot water is discolored, the water heater is the likely source. Replacing the anode rod early can protect the tank; if the tank itself is rusting through, replacement is the safer choice.

Signs include a tank over 10 to 12 years old, rusty or discolored hot water, popping or rumbling noises, moisture or leaks around the base and water temperatures that swing. A leaking tank cannot be repaired and should be replaced soon. We inspect your water heater and tell you whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

Some ticking as the tank heats and cools is normal. Loud popping or rumbling usually means sediment has built up on the bottom of the tank, which makes the water heater work harder and shortens its life. Flushing the tank removes the sediment, and annual flushing helps keep it from coming back.

Once a year. Annual maintenance includes inspecting the anode rod, flushing sediment, checking the temperature and pressure relief valve, testing the thermostat, examining the tank for corrosion or leaks and inspecting the gas line or electrical connections. Regular care extends the life of A.O. Smith, Bradford White and Rheem tanks alike.
