Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair
Water heaters require service about once per year to maintain performance and energy efficiency. Even with proper maintenance, water heater repairs are sometimes unavoidable. Daily wear and tear can contribute to water heater breakdowns, but other factors can also cause issues. These may include:
High pressure
Faulty or broken components
Sediment and mineral deposits and buildup
Excessive rust and corrosion
Loose fittings
Limited or no hot water
If you’re hot water usage hasn’t changed but you keep running out, there’s an underlying issue causing lukewarm or low supplies of hot water. Lukewarm water or low supply are both signs that either your electric heater’s elements or your gas heater’s burners are malfunctioning. Other issues may include temperature pressure relief valve problems or water leaks.
Poor water pressure
Sediment and mineral buildup are at fault if your water is hot but has low pressure. Over time, sediment can accumulate in your system and partially or completely block pipes, limiting the flow of hot water to your taps.
Leaks and floods
Water heater age, poor plumbing system installation, loose valves, and insufficient maintenance can all cause leaks from your unit or system. It could be pooling or dripping water near the unit or its pipes. Leaks can escalate into hot water supply and pressure issues as well as further damage to both your system and your home.
Strange noises
While you should expect occasional noises from your water heater, excessive or strange noises are a sign of bigger problems. For example, persistent humming can indicate loose components. Knocking may suggest water crashing into the shutoff valves or sediment moving throughout the tank. Screeching often comes from water squeezing through partially closed valves, resulting in pressure buildup that emits a high-pitched noise.
Unpleasant odors or appearance
Have you noticed strange colors, a hazy appearance, or unpleasant odor coming from your hot water? Corrosion and rust, which can come from unit damage or a broken anode rod, can stain your water and encourage bacterial growth. This bacteria growth can escalate into foul smells and potentially cause illness. If the unit’s rust and corrosion are beyond repair, you may need a new water heater.
Cloudy water and a change in smell can also indicate excessive mineral deposits. While this buildup isn’t inherently bad for your health, it can lead to poor heating performance and further damage to your heater.

"I admit that Apex was a bit pricier than the other estimates I'd been given, but they were more prompt and ready to assist with my emergency situation. Josh was very helpful, patient, and surprisingly fast at installing the new water heater and removing the old one. I was very glad to have him here."

"Logan was excellent, took the time to explain everything and was very easy to work with. The rate was VERY EXPENSIVE though. The materials cost $30 but the labor was $500 for 30 minutes, which puts the hourly rate at $1,000/hour. In hindsight, I should have agreed to an hourly rate and paid based on that instead of the entire job. Advice to those with similar projects that don't have much plumbing knowledge."
