The Common Causes of Water Heater Issues
There are any number of reasons that water heaters can fail. Some of the reasons we deal with most frequently include these:
- Leaks within the tank: Leaks can occur due to corrosion, cracks, or weak joints in the water heater tank. If left unaddressed, these leaks not only waste water but can also lead to significant damage, including mold growth and structural issues.
- A faulty thermostat: A malfunctioning thermostat can prevent your water heater from reaching the desired temperature. This issue impacts comfort and can increase energy consumption and utility bills as the system works harder to compensate.
- Broken or malfunctioning pilot light: The pilot light is essential for igniting the gas burner that heats the water. If it’s not working, your water heater won’t do its job.
- Sediments and other minerals in your water: They can accumulate at the bottom of the tank, reducing efficiency and causing wear and tear. This buildup can lead to overheating, decreased capacity, and, ultimately, the premature failure of your water heater.

Does My Water Heater Need to Be Repaired or Replaced?
Deciding whether to repair or replace a broken water heater can be challenging, but understanding the key indicators can help you make an informed choice.
First, consider the age of your unit. Most water heaters have a lifespan of about 8 to 12 years. If your system is approaching or has surpassed this age range, replacement might be the more cost-effective option. An older unit is more likely to experience frequent breakdowns and inefficiencies, leading to higher energy bills and repair costs.
Next, evaluate the extent of the issue. Minor problems, such as a faulty thermostat or a broken pilot light, can often be repaired in short order. However, significant issues like extensive leaks within the tank or severe sediment buildup may indicate that the system is beyond repair. These problems not only compromise the water heater's performance but can also lead to further damage if not addressed promptly.
Finally, consider your hot water needs and usage patterns. If you frequently run out of hot water or your current system no longer meets your property’s demands, upgrading to a newer, more efficient model could provide long-term benefits.
The water heater professionals in our Greenville office have built a strong reputation for the integrity of our assessments and the reliability of our work, whether installing a new water heater or repairing an existing unit. You can count on us for good information done solely for your best interest.
