What are some common hot water issues?

Slow to heat

Water that’s slow to heat is not only frustrating but can also have a negative impact on your water bill.

If you find this happening, be sure to reach out to a hot water repairs plumber for a proper inspection, so you can get back to having hot showers.

No hot water

Undoubtedly the most frustrating hot water issue to have, no hot water is a sure sign something’s gone wrong. Depending on the type of hot water system you’re using, this could be caused by a gas leak, malfunctioning thermostat, water leaks or tripped breaker. If you’re having issues with hot water, an emergency hot water heater repair plumber will be able to get your house within hours to fix the problem.

Making noises

Though noises aren’t the worst hot water issue to have, they can hint at a bigger problem. This likely points to a sediment build up, which is usually an accumulation of minerals such as magnesium. Too much sediment can eventually cause a leak, so be sure to get a hot water repairs plumber in before the problem gets worse.
