Water Heater FAQs

Common Questions About Water Heater Repairs

What should I do if my water heater is leaking from the bottom?

First, identify whether the leak is originating from the drain valve, external pipe connections, or the inner glass-lined steel tank itself. If water is seeping from beneath the metal casing or base of the tank, the internal vessel has rusted through, which cannot be repaired and requires tank replacement. Immediately turn off the cold water supply valve at the top of the heater to limit basement flooding.

Why does my gas water heater pilot light keep going out?

The most frequent cause is a defective or soot-coated thermocouple or thermopile that fails to sense the pilot flame, causing the gas control valve to shut off gas flow as a safety precaution. Other causes include a clogged pilot orifice, a draft down the flue, or a tripped thermal cutoff switch caused by restricted combustion air at the flame arrestor screen.

What causes popping or rumbling noises inside my water heater?

Rumbling and kettle-like popping sounds indicate severe mineral sediment accumulation at the bottom of the tank. As water becomes trapped beneath this hard mineral crust, it boils into steam bubbles that pop violently. Routine seasonal flushing prevents this sediment buildup and extends tank lifespan.
