Our Plumbers Know Water Heaters, Inside and Out

Leaks

A severe leak might be the result of the intake valve being loose, broken or corroded. It could also be corrosion in the body of the tank itself (although this would have been preceded by rust colored water for at least a week).


Noise

Popping or banging sounds from the interior of the storage tank point to a sediment build up at the bottom of the tank. The sediment gets heated up and causes water at the base of the tank to boil causing a popping sound. Larger pieces of sediment can be projected into the side of the tank causing the banging sound.


Smells

A sediment problem can also be to blame if there is a A Professional Contractor Repairing the Intake Valve on a Water Heater rotten egg smell whenever you turn on a faucet. The sediment in the base of the tank combines with loose hydrogen and allows bacteria to grow. A full tank flush is about the only way to handle this problem.

Rusty Water

Traditional storage tank water heaters have an anode rod in them. The entire purpose for this piece of metal is to oxidize and prevent the interior of the steel tank from rusting. If your water is running orange and brown, it's a good bet that the anode needs to be replaced.
