At Robert Brown Plumbing, we understand how much you rely on your water heater. Not only does it provide hot water to let you bathe in comfort, but it also lets you sanitize your dishes and do your laundry. Because your water heater serves multiple important purposes, you will naturally want to keep it in good condition, and our team is here to help you do that.

If your water heater malfunctions in any way, you can turn to our experts to get the repair services that you need. In this article, we will go over a few ways to tell if you need water heater repair—if you notice any of the following, we encourage you to give us a call.

Cloudy Water- One sign that you definitely need water heater repair is cloudy or discolored water. This issue is often caused by corrosion inside the water tank—as the metal rusts, flakes of rust end up in the water that comes out of your shower or faucet. If you notice that your water is no longer running clear, we urge you to give us a call right away.
Inconsistent Temperature- Another sign that your water heater isn’t working right is the water temperature fluctuating without warning. If the water in your shower suddenly gets cold even though you didn’t touch the tap in any way, then it’s likely that you need water heater repair.
Lack of Hot Water- A third sign that you need water heater repair is a lack of hot water, or a reduction in the available supply. If you notice that you seem to be running out of hot water faster than you used to, without changing your water usage habits, then it’s likely that there is a problem with the water heater itself.
