If these things have happened to you, you know what an inconvenience and a stressor it can be. If you have had professionals come at regular intervals to do some maintenance on your system since you have had it, congratulations. You have probably extended the life of your appliance by years by keeping up with preventive work. If you have never had anyone come to look at it and this is the first time you have paid any attention at all to your water heater, you probably could have avoided calling San Diego water heater repair professionals for a few more years if you would have done the maintenance.
Unfortunately many people dismiss the maintenance on their appliances, and then when they need repair or replacement they are pretty upset about it. If this has happened to you, it probably is a good idea to not press your luck any further and call on San Diego water heater repair professionals so that you do not end up hurting yourself or causing any more damage to this important home system. However, before you call on professionals, there are some things you should check first. Turn off the power source to your water heater, and if it is gas operated you should turn the control to the Pilot setting. The problem could be a bad thermostat, a faulty pilot control valve, a bad gas pilot or a problem with your upper electric heating element.
Do you notice any rust colored water running from the faucets or in the toilet? There could be corrosion in the tank. If you notice a bad rotten egg smell in the water, this means that bacteria has settled in the tanks sediment that is being fed by hydrogen from the decay in the appliance. If you have water that is leaking from the base of your heater, the temperature and pressure relief valve might be faulty or busted. It could also be stuck or overheating, too. Is there a pipe nearby that has busted? No matter which one of these problems you have noticed, or if your water is just plain cold, you can be sure that a professional San Diego water heater repair team will be able to quickly remedy the issues and get your life as back to normal as possible.
