Count on Professor Gatsby’s Plumbing to promptly resolve various water heater issues. Here are common problems and ways to address them:

No Hot Water

If your water heater fails to produce hot water, it could be due to a tripped breaker, blown fuse, or a faulty heating element. Our licensed plumbers offer innovative water heater installation services and can diagnose and replace malfunctioning parts.

Strange Noises

Popping, banging, and rumbling noises signal the need for service. Regular maintenance can prevent these noises, but severe sounds may require water heater replacement.

Low Amount of Hot Water

Running out of hot water often indicates your unit is too small or overtaxed. Adjust the thermostat or consider upgrading to a larger unit.

Leaks

Eroded components or aging units can cause leaks. Tightening screws or replacing valves can solve minor leaks, while eroded tanks may require water heater replacement.

Discolored Water

Rust-colored water may result from corrosion, a faulty anode rod, or sediment buildup. Flushing the unit and replacing the anode rod can help, but severe cases may require water heater replacement.

Water is Too Warm

Incorrect temperature settings or a malfunctioning temperature pressure valve can cause excessively hot water. Adjust settings or replace the faulty valve.

Water Odors

Excess bacteria and minerals in the tank can lead to odorous water. Regular maintenance and flushing can prevent this issue.
