A water heater leaking from the top is preferable to one from the bottom. On the other hand water runs downhill, so failure to fix the leak can lead to more serious problems, including electrical shorts, additional damage to the water heater, and the possibility of water damage such as ruined carpeting or drywall.
Hot water on demand is something we often take for granted. One of the worst things a homeowner can experience is having no hot water in the house.
A hot water heater is one of the most important appliances in your home but often taken for granted. Unless it’s been turned off for some reason, such as while you’re on vacation, a water heater is used every single day. Like any other appliance, problems can come up.
A common misconception is that a water heater which has stopped functioning has to be replaced. The truth behind the myth is that the only part of the water heater which necessitates replacement is a leak in the tank itself.
When your water gets a sulfur smell, it often involves the anode rod in your hot water heater. This rod is designed to attract corrosive elements, extending the life of your heater.
There’s nothing worse than coming home from a rough day at work, drawing a tub of nice hot water to soak in, and walking back into the bathroom to a terrible sulfur smell coming from the hot water.
I don’t know about you, but I prefer to take a shower with warm water instead of cold water.
A water heater leaking from the bottom is not always an indication of tank failure. Before you resign yourself to replacing the entire water heater, take a few minutes to determine where the leak is actually coming from, and you may be able to fix the leak yourself with little or no cost.
Water heaters may make a wide variety of noises, sometimes indicating a problem, and sometimes nothing to worry about at all. On the other hand, identifying the noises being made can give you early warning of components that need maintenance or replacement.
You turn on the hot water faucet, wait for the water to heat up, and after almost a minute, it’s still running cold. Maybe you stepped into a nice, hot shower, but the water gets cold within just a few minutes and ruins your nice relaxing shower.
Installing your new water heater is only a moderately complicated task. The important things to remember are to take the steps in their proper order, recognize you are dealing with both water and power and brief yourself on the steps before you dive in.
