Water Heater Repair in Orlando

Some Common Water Heater Issues

There are a few different reasons your water heater may run into problems. No matter what type of hot water issue you are dealing with in Orlando, FL, the Modern Plumbing Industries, Inc. team can help. Take a look at some of the problems we handle most often.

• No Hot Water - Of course, if there is no hot water in your home, you know to call for repairs. There may be any of several issues with your water heater, although it likely has to do with the ignition system. This could be due to a lack of power or gas flow or a faulty heating element.
• Lack of Hot Water - When hot water seems scarce or if you only receive intermittent bursts of hot water from your sink or shower, there could be an issue with a heating element or a broken dip tube—a simple repair to make if you are a trained plumber.
• Loud Noises - If there are loud rumbling noises in your tank, your technician may flush the tank to rid it of any mineral deposits.
• Worn Anode Rod - The anode rod is a component that keeps the water heater tank from rusting and eventually corroding. This rod attracts corrosion to protect the inside of your tank, but it must be replaced every now and again.
• Leaky System - If a water heater is leaking, there could be an issue with the temperature and pressure relief valve. However, if the leaking comes from the tank itself, the tank may have corroded, a problem which requires replacement.
