If you’re seeing any of the symptoms below, it’s time to have the system checked before it turns into a bigger problem.
Sudden loss of hot water can point to heating elements, gas supply, or internal component failure.
Fluctuating temperatures often mean worn components or sediment buildup affecting performance.
Any leaking can cause damage fast — if it’s active, call emergency plumbing right away.
Discolored water can indicate internal corrosion or sediment issues that need attention.
Often caused by sediment buildup — the system has to work harder and may wear out faster.
