Common Water Heater Problems in Rancho Santa Margarita Homes

Orange County's hard water and mineral content can accelerate water heater wear. Common issues we encounter include:

Sediment Buildup

Orange County's hard water causes mineral deposits to accumulate in tank water heaters. This reduces efficiency, causes rumbling noises, and shortens tank life. Regular flushing prevents this problem.

Corroded Anode Rod

The sacrificial anode rod protects your tank from corrosion. When depleted, the tank itself begins to rust. We replace anode rods to extend your water heater's life by years.

Failed Thermostat or Heating Elements

Electric water heaters typically have two heating elements and two thermostats. When these fail, you get insufficient hot water or no hot water at all. We diagnose and replace faulty components quickly.
