Is Your Water Heater in Danger of Bursting?

A burst water heater puts a drag on your daily activities. That is why Brian Wear Plumbing recommends prompt water heater repair in Columbia, MO. There are many causes for a busted water heater. Here are a few signs that your water heater is in danger of experiencing this issue:

Sulfur-like Stench

If you detect a rotten egg smell around your heater, it could be a telltale of possible bursting. It means there is a gas leak from the inside of the heater. The gas could ignite at any moment, proving to be dangerous.

Turn off the gas supply to prevent any catastrophe in your home. Call a local plumber from Brian Wear Plumbing to fix your problem. On some occasions, the best option is water heater replacement. Getting a new heater can serve you longer than a fixed heater.

Poorly Installed Heater

Sometimes, your heater may be poorly installed, having great potential of bursting. We recommend you hire a plumber in Columbia, MO, for the best services. Poorly installed heater controls and gas connections can cause a significant explosion.

Water heater installation is done with a lot of care to avoid such occurrences that may harm an individual. Having an electric heater can also suffer an electric short. Therefore, it is wise to have your water heater serviced regularly.

Knocking Noise

Water heaters collect sediments from hard water causing it to require more energy in heating the water. The water trapped under the sediment gets heated and makes a pop sound. Have us replace a traditional water heater immediately you notice that popping sound.
