Signs Your Water Heater Is Failing
The average water heater lasts around 10 years, depending on water quality and maintenance.
Not Enough Hot Water
Hot water that runs out fast or never gets hot can mean a failed element, burner or sediment buildup.
Leaking Tank
Water around the base of the tank often means internal corrosion and a tank near the end of its life.
Rusty or Discolored Water
Rusty hot water can signal corrosion inside the tank.
Popping or Rumbling
Noises from the tank usually come from sediment buildup on the bottom.
Pilot or Ignition Problems
A pilot that will not stay lit or a unit that will not ignite needs professional service.
Unit Over 10 Years Old
Older units are less efficient and more likely to fail. Replacing ahead of time avoids a flood.

Call (248) 371-0494How long does a water heater last?
The average water heater lasts about 10 years. Water quality, sediment and maintenance all affect lifespan.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
If the tank is leaking or the unit is near the end of its life, replacement is usually the better value. If a part like a thermostat or element failed on a newer unit, a repair often makes sense. We will give you an honest recommendation.
Is a tankless water heater worth it?
Tankless units provide on-demand hot water and can save space and energy. They cost more up front, so we help you compare options based on your household and usage.
Why is my water heater making noise?
Popping and rumbling usually come from sediment on the bottom of the tank. Flushing can help, but heavy buildup on an older tank may mean replacement is near.
