Signs It's Time for Water Heater Repairs

Regular maintenance is key to extending the lifespan of your water heater. However, if you notice any of these signs, it may be time to consider having a professional inspect and repair or replace your water heater.

Here are some common indicators that your water heater might be nearing the end of its lifespan:

• The temperature on your hot water taps is consistently higher than usual.
• The water heater has been leaking, even after cleaning and maintenance.
• The water heater's age is nearing or exceeding 10 years.
• There are unusual noises coming from the water heater, such as banging or gurgling sounds.

"It may be time to consider having your water heater inspected by a professional if you've noticed any of these signs," says John Smith, a water heater expert at Diving Daily. "A thorough inspection can help identify potential issues before they become major problems."

While the cost of repairs may seem daunting, ignoring signs of wear and tear can lead to more serious problems down the line. Stay on top of your water heater maintenance schedule to ensure it lasts for years to come.
