How to Inspect Water Heater for Problems

Inspection professionals often don’t share any information on how you can inspect certain things at home by yourself. Sometimes it’s because of safety concerns whereas sometimes they just choose to hide what they are good at. However, we have been the leading plumbing company in Frederick MD for 2 decades and we understand that you don’t have to pay every time for a simple inspection. Here are a few things you can check to determine whether your water heater has some problem or not. 

  • The first thing is troubleshooting your water heater if it’s not working. In the case of an electric water heater, check the upper and lower heating element installed inside the tank. If it’s a gas heater, check out the gas burner. Both these are heating elements and they are quite easy to replace.
  • You can notice a series of signs to determine if your water heater is going bad including 
  • Not enough hot water
  • Water temperature varying a lot
  • A leaking water heater
  • The water coming from the heater is discolored or smelly
  • Very old water heater
  • Water flow is reduced
  • Last but probably the best option if you haven’t dealt with a water heater is to call one of our experts from the top plumbing company in Frederick MD to ensure your faulty water heater is inspected and repaired properly.
