Is there anything more annoying than a broken water heater? Not only is your home now without hot water, but figuring out what’s wrong with your heater and getting it fixed can be a hassle in its own way.

Common Water Heater Issues

Lots of things can go wrong with a water heater. Depending on the type of machine you have, and the damage itself, you may be looking at a really simple repair, or maybe even the need to replace it.

One of the first things our team will do when arriving at your home is assess why the water heater’s broken, and devise the best way to get the problem fixed.

Not sure if your heater is really broken? Here are 4 common issues that could indicate you should reach out to the Blue Owl experts:

• Water temperatures - These are one of the most common types of problems with water heaters. Whether the water’s cold, too hot, or always lukewarm, the wrong temperature is definitely a sign your water heater may need some repairs;
  

• Leaks - If you notice your water heater is leaking, call a professional right away, and don’t assume the problem will go away on its own. Leaks can be caused by everything from improper pressure to a stuck valve, loose element bolts, or even a chip in the water tank itself;
  

• Water discoloration - It’s usually a plumbing issue, but a faulty water heater can also cause the water to change its color when the inner lining of the heater has corroded;
  

•  Strange noises - Most weird noises are caused by sediment build-up. While your heater may still work now, as sediment continues to accumulate eventually the machine may become permanently damaged.
