Signs Your Water Heater Needs Attention
Your heater should last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, provided regular maintenance is performed on your system. Regular maintenance is the number one way to keep your water heater in shape. However, even with regular maintenance, your unit will eventually wear out, and you’ll need to replace it.
Some signs that you need to replace your water heater include:
- Increase in utility bill
- Frequent repairs
- Leakage from the unit
- The appliance is older than 15 years
- Water stains or spots are present on the floors
The experts at After Hour Plumbing & Drain will help you determine the best options for replacing your water heater.
Deciding to replace your water heater can also be influenced by the changing needs of your household. For instance, if your family has grown or if you are considering remodeling, upgrading your water heater can cater to increased demand and improve efficiency. Additionally, modern energy-efficient models can significantly reduce your home's energy costs over time, providing long-term savings.

Common Water Heater Problems
Water heater issues may not be as common as those of other household appliances, but they can still occur, and you need a trusted company to come and fix them for you. We understand that no one wants to be without hot water for longer than necessary, which is why we offer 24/7 emergency plumbing services. Just a few of the most frequent issues we see include:
Lack of Hot Water
The first way you can identify that something may be wrong with your water heater is if you’re not receiving hot water. It’s common for your water heater to run out of hot water when used simultaneously in different areas of the house, or if a lot of water is being used at the same time. If your water is not coming out hot from the start, you should call a professional to inspect it.
We often find that a lack of hot water can be due to issues such as a malfunctioning thermostat or simply an insufficient tank size for the household's water usage needs. Our team is experienced in diagnosing these problems and can recommend effective solutions, such as thermostat adjustments or tank upgrades.
Leaking Tank
Leaks may occur due to loose connections or corrosion in your tank. Contaminants found in your water can lead to corrosion of your tank, creating small cracks where leaks occur. This can be fixed by getting your connections tightened or your tank sealed and fixed by a plumbing professional.
Dirty or Unpleasant-Smelling Hot Water
If you’re experiencing dirty or smelly water coming from your heater, this is a sign that something isn’t right. If your water is coming out in a dirty, rust-colored water, you could be experiencing corrosion inside your tank. The only way to solve this problem is to replace your system.
Bad-smelling water could indicate that bacteria have contaminated your heater. You can fight this by flushing your tank or boiling the water at its highest temperature to try and kill the bacteria. If that doesn’t work, you can try cleaning it out with chlorine bleach. If all those options fail, it may be best to replace it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Can I Tell If My Water Heater Needs Repair or Replacement?
Determining whether your water heater needs a repair or replacement often depends on a few key signs. If you notice inconsistent heating, unusual noises, leaks, or increased utility bills, it might be time to consult a professional. Typically, a water heater over 10 years old may not function as efficiently, and a replacement could be more cost-effective. Consulting with After Hour Plumbing & Drain professionals will provide a detailed assessment, considering Monterey's unique environment, to help you make the best decision.
What Are Common Reasons for Water Heater Failure?
Water heaters can fail due to several reasons, such as old age, sediment buildup, or faulty components. In Monterey, sediment buildup from mineral deposits can frequently occur due to the city's water quality, leading to reduced efficiency or system failure. Regular maintenance and flushing of the tank can help prevent these issues. If you suspect a component has failed, like the thermostat or heating element, our team at After Hour Plumbing & Drain can conduct a thorough inspection and recommend the necessary repairs.
