5 Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair
Not sure if your water heater needs professional attention? Watch for these five common warning signs:
- Rusty water: If your hot water comes out rust-colored, your tank might be corroding on the inside.
- Â
- Strange noises: Banging or rumbling sounds usually indicate sediment buildup in the tank, which reduces heating efficiency and may harm the unit over time.
- Â
- Slow hot water recovery: Does it take forever for the water to heat back up after you shower? This might point to a failing burner or heating element.
- Â
- Water leaks: Pooling water around the heater is never a good sign. If you rule out condensation and a partially opened valve, the tank may be cracked.
- Â
- Inconsistent water temperature: You know it’s time for a repair if the water temperature fluctuates or fails to get hot enough.
Water Heater Replacement & Installation
Is your old water heater on its last leg? Adams can help you choose and install a new, more efficient system. Replacing your outdated unit improves performance and saves you money on energy bills.

Our team will help you select the right water heater type, size, and fuel source for your household. Then, professional installation ensures optimal performance and safety.
Water Heater Maintenance
Regular maintenance is necessary to keep your water heater in peak condition. We recommend annual tune-ups to extend your unit’s lifespan and prevent costly repairs. Crucial maintenance steps include:
- Checking the temperature setting: Adjust the water heater’s temperature to 120 degrees F to improve energy inefficiency and prevent scalding at the tap.
- Â
- Inspecting the temperature/pressure relief valve: The T&P valve is a safety component that releases pressure from the tank if it gets too high. During a maintenance check, our licensed plumbers test this valve to ensure it works properly and replace it if it performs poorly.
- Â
- Replacing the anode rod: It’s important to replace the sacrificial anode rod when it becomes corroded to prevent rust inside the tank.
- Â
- Flushing the tank: This step removes sediment buildup for increased energy efficiency.
- Â
- Inspecting for leaks: A technician can thoroughly inspect your water heater for signs of leaks in the tank, pipes, or connections and correct any issues they find.
What Is the Best Type of Water Heater for Your Home?
Choosing the right water heater depends on several factors:
- Household size: Larger households may benefit from a big traditional tank or multiple point-of-use tankless models to meet their high hot water demand.
- Â
- Energy efficiency: Tankless and heat pump water heaters are more energy-efficient, making them a worthwhile consideration for lowering your utility bills.
- Â
- Installation requirements: Tankless models require more complex venting and potential electrical upgrades. Check your home’s compatibility before settling on this option.
