Common Water Heater Issues We Resolve

Water heaters can face a range of issues, many of which are best addressed by a skilled professional to prevent further complications. Here are some of the most common problems our Tampa water heater repair experts handle:

• Inconsistent or No Hot Water: If you’re dealing with temperature fluctuations or a lack of hot water, it could be due to a faulty heating element, thermostat issues, or sediment buildup. Our team quickly diagnoses and resolves these issues, so you can enjoy a steady supply of hot water again.
  
  
• Strange Noises: Popping, rumbling, or banging noises often indicate sediment accumulation or mineral buildup inside the tank. Left untreated, this can reduce efficiency and eventually lead to a breakdown.
  
  
• Discolored or Rusty Water: Rust-colored water may be a sign of corrosion within the tank or pipes. Addressing this promptly can help prevent leaks or more extensive damage.
  
  
• Leaks or Drips: Water around the base of your water heater may indicate a leak. Whether it’s a loose connection or a crack in the tank, our plumbers can identify the source and make the necessary repairs.
  
  
• High Energy Bills: An inefficient water heater can drive up your energy costs. Timely repairs ensure your system runs as efficiently as possible, helping you save on utilities.

Timely repairs keep minor problems from turning into larger, more expensive issues down the road. Additionally, a well-maintained water heater runs more efficiently, helping to lower your monthly energy bills. For reliable and prompt water heater repair in Tampa, reach out to Red Cap.

1. Water heater is 10-15 years old: 10-15 years is the average lifespan of a tank water heater. To learn your water heater's birthday, look on the upper portion of your water heater for the manufacturer’s sticker and find the serial number. To interpret the serial number, consult the water heater manufacturer's website. 
   
   
2. Hot water is a rusty color: This means the water heater is rusting away on the inside and will eventually leak or—at worst—burst. 
   
   
3. Tank is leaking: Unfortunately, this problem can't be fixed, and you'll need a new water heater ASAP.
