Water Heater Expert Tips & Advice

A water heater typically lasts between 10 to 15 years, making it crucial to recognize when it's time for a replacement. As your water heater reaches the end of its lifespan, it may develop leaks or fail completely, leading to costly water damage and repairs that exceed the cost of a new unit. Routine inspections and servicing by a licensed plumber are essential for maximizing your water heater's longevity.


It's recommended to have your water heater serviced every three years, or more frequently if you use a significant amount of hot water. This preventive maintenance helps ensure your unit doesn't fail when you need it most. Safety is also a concern with older units, which may lack essential safety features found in newer models. Modern water heaters come equipped with pressure relief valves, temperature and pressure gauges, and gas shut-off valves, all designed to prevent damage to the unit and your home.


If your water heater is nearing the end of its life, consider replacing it with a new energy-efficient model to avoid the inconvenience and expense of an unexpected failure. For more tips and advice, contact MasterCraft Plumbers for expert guidance and service.

MAINTENANCE & INSPECTIONS

Water heaters are essential appliances, typically consisting of large cylindrical tanks that heat and store water, holding anywhere from 20 to 80 gallons at a time. Over time, sediment and rust can accumulate at the bottom of the tank, forcing the water heater to work harder to heat the water. This added strain can eventually lead to a complete failure of the unit.


Recognizing when it's time for a new water heater can be challenging. Here are some key signs to look for:

  • Leaks: If you notice any signs of leaks, it's crucial to address them immediately. Leaking water heaters can cause significant damage to your home and property.


  • Cloudy or Discolored Water: If the water coming from your faucet appears cloudy or discolored, it may be time for a new unit. This could indicate rust inside the tank, which, if not addressed, can contaminate your water supply and eventually cause the tank to leak or fail.


  • Sediment Build-Up: Sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank reduces the amount of available hot water. Draining and flushing your tank at least once a year can help prevent rust and extend the unit's lifespan.
  • Decreased Water Pressure: If you notice a reduction in hot water pressure, this could be due to sediment buildup in the tank. It may also take longer to get hot water, indicating potential sediment issues or problems with the heating unit itself.


  • No Hot Water: If your water heater isn't producing any hot water, there may be an issue with the heating elements or thermostat.


  • Pilot Light Issues: If your water heater has a pilot light that won't stay lit, it can be frustrating. This might not necessarily mean you need a new unit; it could be a simple issue that our experienced plumbers can easily fix.

Regular maintenance and inspections are vital for the longevity and efficiency of your water heater. If you encounter any of these issues, contact MasterCraft Plumbers to ensure your water heater is functioning correctly and safely.
