Why Water Heaters Fail
- Like any other tool, water heaters do not live forever. Over time, wear and tears, mineral buildups and other issues may reduce efficiency or total failure. Understanding why water heaters can fail, you can help identify early signals and prevent big problems.
- Water heaters are included for general reasons:
- Aging Equipment: Most traditional tank water heaters are in the last 8–12 years. After that, the performance begins to decrease.
- Severage buildup: Your water resides on the bottom of the mineral tank, reduces efficiency and damages.
- Corrosion: Metal parts inside the heater can rust rust, especially if the anode rod is not replaced on time.
- Defect heating elements or thermostats: These parts control the water temperature and wear over time.
- Leak: Cracks in tanks or connections can cause water damage and system failure.
- In JB router and plumbing, we diagnose the problem and determine whether you need repair or complete replacement based on the status of your unit.
