The Reason for Unusual Noises from Your Water Heater

Monday, October 13th, 2014

You may not realize how much hot water you use until there is a problem with your water heater. Hot water helps clean your laundry and sanitize the surfaces of your home as well as your dishes. And after a long day or a chilly night, a hot shower is often the key to your relaxation. Unusual noises from your water heater may indicate that failure is inevitable, and you may be at risk of losing hot water very soon. That’s why it’s important to call a technician for water heater repair at the first sign of problems so you can get rid of the noise, prevent sudden failure, or replace your water heater if necessary.

The experts at Celco Heating and Air Conditioning have years of experience performing water heater repair in Fairfield, so you can get the job done as quickly as possible.

Some Common Problems

Water heaters will last many years, especially if you call a technician for maintenance services every year. However, even with maintenance, these problems may cause you to hear unusual noises.

  • Sediment in the Tank: The most common reason for banging noises from the water heater is sediment that has settled in the tank over time. Minerals may build up in the tank as a result of hard water, leading to small pieces of sediment that may knock against the tank and eventually cause clogging. A professional technician can flush the tank to drain the deposits and check for damages.
  • Leaks: A water leak may cause you to hear bubbling or dripping from your water heater. Or, you may notice a sizzle as water leaks onto the burner. In either case, a professional is best suited to examine your unit and make sure it has not corroded through.
  • An Issue in the Pipes: If you hear a banging or knocking noise whenever you shut off the hot water, it may not be a problem with the water heater. Water hammer is instead caused by a problem with the air chambers in your plumbing system.
