Common Reason Why Water Heaters Fail
The use of the water tank accumulates on the bottom which can corrode the tank’s liner and heater.
When the corroded bottom of a tank fails without warning, the water already in the tank and the continuously fed cold-water supply create an instantaneous deluge.
This water will continue to flow throughout your home if not stopped.
Signs of water heater failure include:
- A hissing or whistling sound
- Water accumulation beneath the heater
- Chronic hot water shortage
Get these water heater tips and prevent a loss:
- The installation of water heaters should be inspected regularly.
- Install a drain, such as a catch pan with a drain connected to it and put it near the water source. If you have any other ideas on how to get rid of the excess water, that should work too.
- Check all the controls near your water heater and make sure you identify the location of the automatic shut off valve (ASOV) before an emergency
- Have you considered installing a water alarm in your house? These alarms come from several manufacturers, and they work by simply being plugged in to have it detect any leaks of pipes or tanks of water.
- If you’re looking for a sleeker alternative to traditional tankless water heaters, then you should explore the possibility of getting a storage-free model. This type of water heater heats water when it’s called for because there is no container to store the hot water in.
- Wrapping the tank in insulation will help lower your energy costs and reduce the risk of temperatures changing by much. This will limit how much wear the tank goes through.
