A water heater problem can leave your household without hot water for bathing, cleaning, and laundry. Leaks from the tank or its connections can also release a lot of water into a basement or utility area.
Common warning signs include no hot water, water that doesn’t stay hot, rusty or discolored hot water, popping or rumbling noises, and water pooling around the base of the unit.
Safety First
If you have a gas water heater and smell gas, leave the home and contact your gas utility right away. For leaks and other problems, contact a plumber to check whether the unit can be repaired or needs further attention.
