Signs You Need Water Heater Repair in Ellicot City, MD
It should not take an icy cold shower on a chilly day for you to notice your water heater needs repair work done. There are plenty of signs that should motivate you to call Modern Comfort Systems right away. Some signs include the following:
Discolored Water
When you detect water coming out of any faucet that is discolored, then you have an issue that requires you to act with a sense of urgency. The build up of sediment can cause a water pipe to rust, which in turn leads to compromised small pieces of the pipe tainting the water supply. Water discoloration often precedes noticeable damage to a water heater. Call Modern Comfort Systems the moment you notice any change to the color of your water.
Back and Forth Water Temperatures
Water that comes out of a faucet that is hot one day and cold the next day probably means the water heater has fallen into disrepair. Fluctuating water temperatures most likely mean mineral deposits have started to accumulate within the water heater. Calling one of our professionals to take a look at your water heater can prevent additional damage. This means we can repair your water heater, which will cost less than replacing it.
Strange Noises
Although your eyes can help you detect a water heater issue, your ears can also play a vital role in keeping your water heater in mint condition. You should respond to any strange noises that you hear coming from the water heater by calling Modern Comfort Systems. There might be a crack within the water heater that is forcing out air.
Finally, discovering pools of water around the water heater might mean the heater has one or more areas where water is leaking on the floor.
