Continuous Dripping

In the event that your showerhead or faucet from a sink somewhere in your is dripping continuously when it should be off, you may have an issue within your home plumbing system that needs a professional repair. The continuous dripping could be a simple issue with the tap, or due to a larger problem with your system’s water pressure.

Discolored Water

If you have water coming through your faucets or showerhead that is discolored, your home plumbing system likely needs a repair. Discolored water can be caused by air in the pipe, a leaky pipe, or rust in your pipe.

Drain Issues

Drain issues can also be indicative of a plumbing system in need of repair. Clogged or slow moving drains could be a sign of a broken pipe that needs to be repaired.

No Hot Water

Sometimes your home’s hot water heater may reach maximum capacity, which results in you having to wait for the water in your home to heat back up again. However, if at the start of the day when you first turn a faucet or shower on and the water won’t heat up, that usually is an indicator that you have an issue in your plumbing system that needs to be repaired by a professional.

Poor Water Pressure

Poor or low water pressure is a strong indication that you have something wrong with your plumbing system that needs to be addressed. You could have poor, low, or uneven water pressure due to a clogged pipe, a burst pipe, or a damaged water heater.

Indicators your Water Heater May Be In Need of Repair

The water heater in your home serves an important function for your home’s most important appliances and comforts. That’s why it can be so frustrating when your hot water heater breaks down entirely. To avoid that, here are a few indicators that your water may be in need of repair:

Appliances Not Working

An often overlooked sign that a water heater is in need of repair is if other appliances in your home that require hot water, like your dishwasher or washing machine, aren’t working properly. Therefore, if your dishwasher or washing machine aren’t working properly, you may have to look beyond your appliances at your water heater for the root of the problem.

Discolored Water

The water that comes out of your home’s faucets or shower heads should be clear and clean in appearance. Any water that flows through your pipes that is cloudy, brown, or tinted in some other way could be a sign that there is an issue with your water heater that needs to be addressed by a professional.

No Hot Water

In the event that the water in your home won’t heat up, you likely don’t need to look any farther than your water heater to discover the problem. Contact the professionals at Air Services Heat and AC today to schedule a repair.

Leaks

Unfortunately, water heaters can at times spring a leak. Water heaters often leak due to a loose valve or fitting. If you notice any leaks coming from your home’s water heater, contact a professional to schedule a repair as soon as possible.

Unit Cycles On & Off When It Shouldn’t

One of the more frustrating issues that homeowners can have with their water heater is it cycling on and off when it shouldn’t, leading to inconsistent water temperatures.

Sign a Water Heater Needs to be Replaced

Replacing a water heater can be a burdensome investment when the time comes. However, it is best to replace your current water heater before it breaks down entirely or continues to place strain on your home plumbing system. Signs to look out for to know if your water needs to be replaced include:

Extreme Fluctuates in Water Temperature

If there is a major issue with your home’s water heater, you will likely experience extreme fluctuations in your water temperature.

Frequent Repairs Required

No matter if it’s a major or minor appliance in your home, if frequent repairs are required, we know that the unit’s lifespan is likely nearing its close. As your water heater ages and more frequent repairs are required, a replacement water heater should begin to be considered.

Poor Water Pressure

In the event that you have poor water pressure throughout your home, that may be because of your water heater. Your water heater can be causing your home to have poor water pressure due to a blockage in the system that makes it difficult to repair.

Unexplained Increase in Energy Bills

If your energy and water consumption habits remain unchanged and yet your monthly bills are increasing, you may have an issue in need of repair with your water heater causing an inefficiency. That inefficiency, if left unrepaired, will likely continue to drive up your monthly energy bills.

Unusual Sounds

Some noise coming from a home water heater is to be expected. That said, any banging, grinding, or knocking sound coming from your home’s water heater may be a sign that a replacement is necessary

Why is Water Heater Maintenance Important?

Your water heater is an integral component of your home’s plumbing system. Regularly maintaining your water heater is an important step to keeping that system working properly. Additional advantages of regular water heater maintenance are:

Enhanced Efficiency and Reduced Energy Bills

Regular maintenance from a professional water heater technician can improve the efficiency of your home’s water heater. This has the potential to in turn reduce your monthly energy bills, with your water heater working at optimal efficiency.

Less Repairs

Having regular maintenance performed by a professional can also lead to less repairs required down the road. Further, by having your water heater regularly serviced, it will have improved functionality and you’ll know you can rely on it to heat your home’s water.

Less Wear and Tear

Most homes’ water heaters are frequently in high demand no matter the time of year. Regular maintenance on a water heater ensures that the unit will incur less wear and tear as time goes on, no matter its usage.

Prolong Lifespan

Regular maintenance can prolong the lifespan of your water heater by addressing any issues before they become bigger, more expensive problems. A prolonged lifespan for your water heater also protects the substantial investment you’ve made in your home’s water heater, ensuring that it has as long of a lifespan as possible.

Signs your Tankless Water Heater Needs to be Repaired

An advantage of a tankless water heater is that they require repairs less frequently than other models do. Unfortunately though, sometimes repairs are still needed for tankless water heaters and it is best to address them as soon as any signs pop up. Signs to be on the lookout for to know if your tankless water heater needs to be repaired include:

• Appliances Not Working
• No Hot Water in the Home
• Leaks
• Unit Turns Itself Off
• Unusual Color or Taste in Water

Signs Your Home Plumbing System Needs Repiping

Wyrock Plumbing Heating Cooling technicians have the experts needed to professionally and safely have repiping done in your home. Professional repiping services are needed when your home’s entire cold and hot water pipes need to be removed and replaced.

Repiping is not a process that most homeowners want to undertake. However, when the time comes it is a necessary undertaking to keep your home’s vital functions operating properly and to keep those in your home comfortable. Signs your home plumbing system needs repiping include:

Age

Generally, your home’s pipes have a lifespan of around 50 years. Pipes that are aged 50 years or older were usually made with chemicals and substances that are considered to be dangerous. Once your pipes reach that age, it may be time to consider repiping your entire plumbing system.

Continuous Clogging

In the event that you are continuously noticing water puddling above the drain in your sink or shower, despite having your drains frequently cleared, your home plumbing system may be in need of repiping.

Corrosion

Corroded pipes can quickly compromise an entire plumbing system if left unaddressed. They can lead to catastrophic water leaks and other issues that are costly to repair. If you notice signs of corrosion such as discolored or flaking pipes, it may be time for you to consider repiping your plumbing system.

Discolored Water

The water that comes through your home pipes should be clear and clean. If the water is red, orange, or cloudy in appearance you have an issue in your plumbing system that needs to be addressed by a professional. This can be indicative of a burst pipe that has compromised your plumbing system to the point that repiping services are needed.

Leaky Pipes

A pipe system that frequently has leaks is a sign of a plumbing system that may be in need of repiping. Specifically, any leaks that result in visible signs of water damage are an indicator that repiping may be needed.

Poor Water Pressure

If your home continuously has poor or weak water pressure, repiping may be the remedy your home’s plumbing system needs. There are a variety of issues that could result in poor water pressure, but if low water pressure is a persistent problem throughout your home, repiping may be what your plumbing system needs.

Unusual Sounds

Your home plumbing system should run quietly in the background of your home. Any banging, knocking, or grinding sounds disseminating from your home plumbing system is cause for concern. In some cases this can only be rectified by repiping your home’s plumbing system.
