Count on us to assess and fix your water heater problems

If you’re like most homeowners, your water heater just keeps delivering hot water shower after shower, washing after washing. This important appliance typically is tucked away in a corner and gets little attention — until it just stops working. Either the water comes out lukewarm or you see puddles of water, or both. When that happens, you need a professional plumber who can accurately diagnose the problem (water heaters are more complex than they seem) and provide a solution, whether that’s a repair or a replacement. Count on Knight’s Mechanical to be your dependable plumber for your water heater.

Signs that a water heater needs professional attention

While a well-maintained water heater should last 10 to 15 years, that lifespan can vary quite a bit. Here are some signs that, at the very least, you should have a professional plumber check out your water heater:

  • Small pools of water around the tank, even if just occasional.

  • Tap water is lukewarm rather than hot.

  • There are visible signs of corrosion.

  • Popping or banging sounds that indicate sediment build-up in the bottom of the tank.

  • Rusty-looking water coming from your fixtures that signals corrosion in the tank and a deteriorated anode rod.
