Loud popping or cracking sounds coming from your water heater

Causes of Water Heater Malfunctions

Water heaters malfunction for various reasons. When you receive Babe Plumbing's water heater maintenance in Mankato, MN, we'll let you know the cause and whether you require a new water heater. Some potential culprits include:

  • Installation Issues

    It's not uncommon for unreliable HVAC companies to install water heaters incorrectly. If your water heater experiences issues, it may need professional reinstallation. 

  • Rusting

    Your water heater contains a metal rod called the "anode rod" that runs through the middle of its tank. When the anode rod corrodes, it's unable to protect the tank from doing the same. Your water heater tank will then experience internal rusting, which may show up as brown or discolored water.


  • Excessive Water Pressure

    High water pressure may damage your water heater and cause leaking from the overflow pipe or drain valve.

  • Lack of Maintenance

    Water heaters have several parts that require servicing to operate correctly. If you don't keep up with your water heater maintenance, minor issues can build up and result in a total breakdown.


  • Age

    The typical water heater has a lifespan of 8-12 years. If your water heater has hit that age or beyond, it will likely require constant maintenance and repairs. Replacing an old water heater will ultimately be the cheapest and most straightforward option.


Keep Up with Water Heater Maintenance

Whether you have a gas water heater or an electric water heater, consistent maintenance is crucial. In general, yearly maintenance is enough to uphold your water heater's efficiency and extend its lifespan. If you keep your water heater at a high heat setting or have hard water, you may require maintenance twice a year.
