1. Snapping/popping sounds – When you’re hearing sounds from your unit, different sounds will tell you different things. If you hear a snapping or popping sound, then there’s likely sediment build-up in your tank and you need a good cleaning.

2. Cold flashes in your hot shower – Some cold water in a hot shower might seem okay, but it means you should call in our Atlanta water heater repair experts. There’s likely a crack in the dip tube that’s responsible for bringing cold water into your unit that needs to be replaced.

3. Rusty anode rod – The anode rod’s job is to attract the rusting elements away from your water heater and towards the rod. The rod is replaceable, but if you don’t replace it soon enough then the corrosion could spread to your water heater.

4. Slow water pressure – Another symptom of sediment build-up could be slower water pressure. If you’re noticing that your hot water has slower water than the rest of your water, then call in our water heater repair specialists. Your hot water heater has harder water because of this sediment build-up and just needs a cleaning.

5. Your water takes longer than normal to heat up – If your water just isn’t coming fast enough, it’s possible that there’s something wrong with your heating element.
