Water heater tanks are usually in the basement or tucked away in a closet. We don’t see them, so we don’t think anything of it until something happens. That something is usually not enough hot water or none at all. However, there is one sign that means you should contact Turner Plumbing Inc. immediately.
Noise
Unexplainable noises frighten everyone. If we can’t see what’s making the noise, we don’t know what’s about to land on our heads. When the noise comes from the water heater tank, it’s only natural we worry about flooding.
Terrible noises coming from your water heating tank means one of many things. The first is that sediment has accumulated on the bottom of the tank, and the heating element is burning it off. Another is the heating element dying where you’ll need water heater services in Northport AL to help.
A fully closed relief valve will make a sizzling sound. Water pressure fluctuations will sound like a clock ticking. The sizzling sound can also be made by water leaking onto the burner.
A good reason to contact Turner Plumbing Inc. would be the hammering sound caused by the inflow of water stopping suddenly. Water tanks have built-in measures to control this, but the hammering could come from water pressure fluctuations from the street. The control measures can’t control this, and damages could happen to the water tank. You’ll need water heater services Northport AL to forestall trouble. Turner Plumbing Inc. wants you to have a fully functional water tank. If noises are troubling you, contact Turner Plumbing Inc.
