Common Water Heater Issues & Their Solutions
Water heaters, like all appliances, can encounter a variety of issues. Recognizing these problems early can save you time, stress, and money:
- No Hot Water: Often due to a malfunctioning heating element or thermostat, which can be swiftly identified and repaired by our team.
- Strange Noises: Sediment buildup at the bottom of your tank can cause knocking or rumbling sounds, indicating a need for professional cleaning or part replacement.
- Water Leaks: Leaks may result from cracked tanks, deteriorated connections, or faulty valves, all of which require urgent attention to prevent water damage.
- Temperature Issues: Inconsistent water temperatures often point to a failing thermostat or an incorrectly sized water heater that doesn't meet your home's demands.
By focusing on the root cause of these issues, we offer targeted repairs to ensure lasting solutions. Regular maintenance plays a significant role in extending the life of your water heater. Routine inspections allow us to catch potential problems before they escalate. At Delco Storm & Sewer Services, our maintenance services include flushing your tank to remove sediment, checking the anode rod for rust prevention, and ensuring all components are functioning correctly. This proactive approach not only enhances efficiency but also saves you from unexpected breakdowns.

Water Heater FAQs
What Are the Common Indicators That My Water Heater Needs Repair?
Several key signs suggest your water heater may need attention. If you notice fluctuating temperatures, leaks around the unit, discolored water, or strange noises, it's wise to seek professional evaluation. Early detection can prevent minor issues from escalating into major, costly problems. Additionally, if your water heater is over 10 years old, regular maintenance checks are advised to ensure continued performance and efficiency.

Is It Better to Repair or Replace My Water Heater?
The decision to repair or replace depends on several factors, including the age of your unit, extent of the damage, and frequency of repairs. Typically, units older than 10-15 years with recurrent issues might benefit more from replacement. However, our professional evaluation will help determine the most cost-effective route for your situation, balancing performance and budget considerations.
What Are the Benefits of a Tankless Water Heater?
Transitioning to a tankless water heater can offer numerous advantages, notably increased energy efficiency and space savings. Unlike traditional models, tankless systems provide hot water on demand, reducing energy consumption by avoiding continuous heating of a storage tank. They are ideal for modern homes, where space efficiency is a priority, providing endless hot water flow without the bulk.
How Does Philadelphia’s Water Quality Affect My Heater?
Philadelphia is known for its hard water, which can lead to excessive mineral buildup in water heaters. This can affect efficiency and lifespan, making regular maintenance and cleaning essential. At Delco Storm & Sewer Services, we consider local water conditions in our maintenance strategies to optimize the performance and durability of your systems.
