Why Water Heaters Fail
Water heaters are among the household appliances that work the toughest, as they continuously hold and transfer water. Here are some reasons why water heaters fail.
- The tank liner and heater elements are corroded by deposits that accumulate on the bottom of the tank.
- The unexpected failure of a corroded tank bottom will create a flood, with water already in the tank in addition to the continuously fed cold-water supply.
- Without prompt action, this water will continue to flood your home.
Signs of water heater failure include:
- Accumulated water beneath the heater
- A whistling or hissing sound
- A chronic shortage of hot water
Tips to Prevent Damage from Water Heater Failure
- Regular water heater inspection
- Catch pan installation, with a drain connected to a sump pump, waste line, or any other means of allowing water to flow out of your home
- Easy access to the controls mounted on the water heater and identification of the automatic shut off valve before an emergency
- Water alarm installation
- Getting a tankless water heater
- Insulation blanket installation around the tank to reduce energy costs and extreme temperature changes that contribute to tank wear
