Temperature variance in either direction can be a sign of a water heater on the fritz. Water heaters rely on thermometers to regulate water temperature, so scalding hot water can be as much of a water heater issue as freezing cold water.

If you notice an odor that only shows up when the hot water is on, you may be dealing with bacteria build-up in your water heater. This is not always an issue that requires repair or water heater replacement – call 905-399-9888 and ask about our water treatment and filtration services.

Rusty or muddy water coming from your faucets indicates that sediment problems are worsening. As metal parts corrode and sediment builds up in your hot water tank, large amounts of sediment can spread throughout the plumbing system, contaminating your water. As water passes through the pipes, it brings sediment with it. You’ll likely need a water heater repair or replacement to resolve corrosion in your water heater.

If you’ve identified obvious problems with your water heater, from leaking water to rust or any other problem, don’t hesitate to contact us! We’ll come diagnose the problem and give you an estimate for repair services (or recommend a replacement if necessary).
