Top Notch Plumbing is just a call away and can help get your hot water restored to minimize any disruption to your household. Some common warning signs include:
Unusual noises emanating from your water heater: If you hear grinding or clanging sounds, it is abnormal and may indicate tank damage requiring replacement.
Rust-colored water from your tap: This suggests that your water heater’s lining has developed holes, posing a risk of hot water leakage.
Extinguished pilot light: If the pilot light is out, it could be a cause for concern and might indicate issues with your water tank or an inaccurate thermostat.
Insufficient or no hot water: While some problems with hot water production can be resolved easily, others may necessitate the replacement of the entire tank.

Tell-tale signs you may need a Water Heater Replacement
Your water heater has exceeded its 10-year lifespan – Although water heaters can last a considerable amount of time, reaching the 10-year mark indicates that it has surpassed its optimal functioning period. As it ages, the likelihood of encountering significant problems that cannot be resolved through simple repairs increases.
Your water heater tank exhibits damage – If your water heater tank displays signs of deterioration or damage, such as corrosion or leaks, it might be necessary to consider replacing it.
You experience frequent water heater repairs – If you find yourself dealing with recurrent issues regarding your water heater, it might be a sign that a replacement is in order.
Water Heater Maintenance
Your Water Heater has a pretty long lifespan if maintained properly. Thousand of gallons of water pass through a water heater every year, and if your water is hard, which is generally the case around the Lehigh Valley and Poconos areas, it contains high levels of calcium and magnesium salt. These minerals tend to build up in your water heater, which can lead to LESS hot water and HIGHER utility costs. In addition, these salts can cause rust in your tank, which leaves ugly brownish stains on clothing, dishes and toilet bowls and contributes to the premature demise of not only your water heater, but other costly appliances as well.
Top Notch Plumbing's Certified Plumber Will:
- Flush your tank with clean water until all the accumulated limescale and sediment are eliminated.
- Clean the drain valve and, if necessary, gently tighten it, taking care not to overtighten.
- Assess whether the sacrificial anode rod has corroded enough to require replacement. This inexpensive component safeguards your tank from rust and deterioration.
- Inspect and clean electrical connections, tightening them as needed.
- Examine gas pipes, valves, and burners to ensure there are no gas leaks, which pose a severe fire hazard.
- Ensure proper ventilation to prevent the buildup of hazardous gases such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide.
- Check the pressure levels throughout your water heating system, as excessive pressure can lead to a potential water heater explosion.
