Water Heater Repair FAQs
Your water heater could be making strange noises due to issues like sediment buildup, a sudden surge in water pressure, or a loose heating element. Sounds like popping, rumbling, banging, or hissing should be addressed by a professional right away. It’s recommended that you flush your water heater every six months, but at least once per year, especially if you have hard water. This is one of the best ways to prevent sediment buildup, extend your system’s lifespan, and maintain your hot water supply. A water heater could stop working for various reasons, such as a malfunctioning heating element, a faulty thermostat, pilot light issues, sediment buildup, problems with the power supply, or a defective temperature pressure valve.Why is my water heater making strange noises?
