How do I know if I need to have my water heater repaired?

• You are not getting any hot water – Mineral deposits could potentially be building up around the heating element, which would lead to a faulty burner (gas units) or heating element (electric units)
• You are experiencing low water pressure – If you have multiple plumbing fixtures with low water pressure, you could have an issue with a distribution line. However, mineral deposits could be built up inside the pipes, reducing the overall pressure coming from the tank.
• Strange noises are coming from your water heater. Popping or cracking sounds could mean that mineral deposits are building up inside the tank. A professional plumber can flush them out.

DIY Water Heater Solutions

Before calling a plumber, try troubleshooting the most common issues.

Has the tank reset button tripped?

• The reset button switch automatically cuts off if the water heater reaches a temperature over 180 degrees. This feature protects the consumer from scalding water. If you press the reset button and the switch flips again, your unit has a problem.

Is there fuel in the unit?

• Gas water heater – Switch the gas supply valve to the ON position to see if the pilot light is lit.
• Electric water heater – Check that the unit is plugged in and the circuit breaker is still ON.
• If you have tried troubleshooting, but your water heater is still not working, it’s time to call a professional. Baucom Plumbing Contracting of Monroe, NC can help! Contact us today for an estimate for water heater repair!
