Signs Your Water Heater Needs Service
Catching a water heater problem early can save you from a bigger headache later. Call Boss Plumbing & Heating if you notice any of the following:
- No hot water or water that isn’t getting hot enough
- Inconsistent water temperatures or sudden fluctuations
- Discolored or rusty-looking water from your hot water taps
- Unusual noises coming from your water heater, such as rumbling or popping
- Visible corrosion, rust, or moisture around the unit
- Water pooling near the base of the tank

- A water heater that’s more than 10–12 years old
The sooner you address the issue, the easier it is to avoid a full replacement—or worse, water damage from a leaking tank.
FAQs
Why is my water heater not working?
There are several reasons a water heater stops producing hot water. For gas water heaters, the issue is often a pilot light that has gone out, a faulty thermocouple, or a problem with the gas supply. For electric water heaters, a tripped breaker, a burned-out heating element, or a failed thermostat is frequently to blame. Sediment buildup from years of use can also reduce efficiency and lead to failure. If your water heater isn’t working, our same-day plumbers can diagnose the problem quickly and let you know whether repair or replacement is the right path forward.
How often should water heaters be flushed?
Most water heaters should be flushed once a year to clear out sediment that accumulates at the bottom of the tank over time. Sediment buildup forces your water heater to work harder, shortens its lifespan, and can cause rumbling or popping noises during operation. If you have hard water, more frequent flushing may be beneficial. Our team can flush your tank as part of a routine maintenance visit and let you know if anything else needs attention.
What are signs my water heater needs repair?
The most common warning signs include inconsistent or insufficient hot water, rusty or discolored water from your hot taps, unusual noises like rumbling or banging, visible corrosion on the unit, and moisture or pooling water near the base of the tank. A noticeable increase in your energy bill without a clear explanation can also point to a water heater that’s struggling.
When should I replace my water heater instead of repairing it?
As a general rule, replacement is often the smarter investment for water heaters that are 10–12 years old and require significant repairs. If the tank itself is corroded or actively leaking, water heater replacement is almost always the right call. Our plumbers will give you an honest assessment of your unit’s condition and help you weigh the costs.
