Common Water Heater Problems
Water heaters can experience different issues that affect their performance. Our team handles all of these common problems and more, such as:
-
No Hot Water
If your water heater isn't producing any hot water, the problem could be a failed heating element, thermostat issues, or a tripped circuit breaker. Other causes range from sediment buildup in the tank to pilot light issues.
Whatever the reason for your water heater troubles, our technicians will quickly identify the cause and make necessary repairs.
-
Not Enough Hot Water
When your water heater runs out of hot water too quickly, there could be a number of causes. You might have sediment buildup, an undersized unit, faulty heating components, or a broken dip tube. These are just a few of the potential problems you might be dealing with.
When you call Mercurio's, our technicians will quickly find the source of the issue and recommend the best solution.
-
Strange Noises
Popping, bubbling, rumbling, or banging sounds often indicate sediment buildup in the tank. Odd noises may also point to loose heating elements, faulty valves, or other issues. Our repair services include thorough flushing to remove sediment, part replacement, and additional fixes to restore quiet operation.
-
Water Leaks
Water around your water heater could come from valve problems, high water pressure, or tank corrosion. We'll find the source of the leak and make repairs whenever possible.
-
Rusty or Smelly Water
Discolored water or unusual odors might indicate anode rod problems or bacterial growth. Our repair services include anode rod replacement and tank flushing. We also offer water treatment services to address any existing water quality problems at the source.
-
Temperature Fluctuations
Inconsistent water temperature can stem from thermostat problems, heating component malfunctions, sediment buildup, mixing valve issues, and other problems. Our technicians make precise adjustments and repairs to ensure steady temperatures.
