\"Scared<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Fall is here and brings with it many things: pumpkin spice lattes, the changing of leaves, cooler temperatures, and getting ready for Halloween. After the excessive use your water heater went through over the summer, now\u2019s the time when you might be noticing your water heater is giving you tricks instead of treats, just in time for spooky season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From terrifying noises to horrifyingly cold showers, here are some signs that indicate you need water heater repair in Pomaria, SC.<\/a> The last thing you want to do with a seemingly haunted water heater is to ignore the problem because that could lead to a full-blown nightmare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Lukewarm Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having your hot shower go cold halfway through is truly a tale of spine-tingling horror! Unfortunately, there are many possible causes of a water heater that\u2019s not delivering enough hot water to your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most common causes is a mineral buildup in your water heater that narrows the space through which hot water passes through. Sediment can also build up on the heating element. These are common issues in areas with hard water. However, you can rest assured that this is an easy fix for a professional plumber. We can perform a water heater flush that will eliminate the mineral buildup. For more details, check out why a water heater flush is so important<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stinky Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the water coming from all the taps smells as foul as a witch\u2019s brew, it could be an issue with your sewer line. However, if you notice the stinky stench when it\u2019s just the hot water that\u2019s running, this could be caused by your water heater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a component in your water heater called an anode rod, and its purpose is to attract sediment and minerals to prevent corrosion. When the anode rod wears down, you may smell bacterial contamination and notice rusty or reddish-brown colors in your water similar to the color of the fall leaves outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spooky Sounds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gurgling, hissing, banging, screeching, and popping noises can give you a fright when you\u2019re used to your water heater running silently! Any sudden and unusual sounds are cause for concern. These noises could indicate anything from a mineral buildup to a restriction in the water flow.
