What are signs you might need water heater replacement?

While you can prolong the life of your water heater with annual maintenance, the chances of replacement go up as you reach the 10 year mark. That said, it’s important for a homeowner to know some of the signals that might indicate it’s time for water heater replacement. Below are a few common reasons we get requests to replace old water heaters:

Water heater is 10+ Years Old.

An old water heater can pose some mild to serious threats to your home and family. Below are a few ways old water heaters can lead to dangerous conditions in the home:

Discolored Hot Water.

Mold growth is of particular concern for old water heaters found in basements. Leaking pipes or valves can create a damp environment that is perfect for mold to form.
Sediment build-up can also occur over time on the inside of a water heater tank. Bacteria growing in the sediment has the potential to make your family sick from contaminated water.
Critter infestations create a problem for old water heaters as well. Since water heaters provide a warm environment; many rodents or insects will choose to nest near them. Oftentimes the location they pick is close to burners, which can be a real fire threat as well.
Ruptures can occur in older tanks due to blocked valves or overheating. Depending on the placement of the tank, this could cause flooding and some serious water damage inside your home.

Leaking Water Heater.

A leak is never something to be ignored. Though it could be a leaking pipe or valve that needs adjusting; standing water in an older tank is a sign for a serious issue. Deterioration in the tank often leads to water leaks but also opens up potential issues to exposure of bacteria or critter infestations as well.

Rumbling Noises.

If you hear rumbling or knocking sounds coming from the water heater that can be a common sign of sediment build-up. Tanks can operate for a while with sediment present, but over time it can harden and make some serious noise when the water heater goes into action.
