Signs You Need a New Water Heater
Consider preventative maintenance to extend the service life of your hot water heater — but watch for these signs that replacement is the safer call.
10+ Years Old
Age of 10 or more years represents the end of expected useful life for most tank models, even if the unit currently appears functional.
Discoloured Water
Rusty or discoloured hot water indicates internal tank corrosion.
Unusual Noises
Rumbling, popping, or banging sounds from the tank are caused by sediment buildup on the heating element or burner.
Water Pooling
Water pooling at the base of the tank signals a failing tank seal, which will worsen rapidly.
Inconsistent Hot Water
Inconsistent or insufficient hot water despite no change in household usage patterns.
