Leaking Water Heater in Charlotte – Many of us enjoy taking a warm and pleasant shower to start out the day. However, if you have a leaking water heater, you may turn on the faucet and find that only cold water is coming out of the tap. You may want to check other sinks and other faucets in your home to make sure that you aren’t dealing with a faulty faucet. If the water coming through is cold in every room, it is probably a problem with your water heater. At South End Plumbing, we can diagnose and repair problems with your leaking water heater.

You can also check some other things to determine whether your water heater is having a problem. Gas water heaters might give off a strong rotten egg odor when the aluminum rod is going out. Another sign of a problem is to turn on faucets in various rooms of the home and watch for sudden bursts or sputtering water, which means that the pressure is varying. You can also check near the bottom of the water heater and the floor, since any wet spots or mildew are both signs of a leaking water heater.

If the problem isn’t too severe, we may be able to repair your water heater. This can be a slightly more economical option. When our team at South End Plumbing comes into your home, we will diagnose the cause of the issue, and then give you repair or replacement options. Since newer water heaters are often more energy efficient  than older models, you may qualify for a federal tax rebate or credit when you install a new water heater. We offer plumbing services, including leaking water heater repair, to properties in Charlotte, North Carolina. Please call us today for more information.
