Life can be funny sometimes. In fact, life is usually pretty funny most of the time.
Take, for example, people who have a hard time making decisions. First of all, not everyone who immediately comes to mind would agree with your assessment. They might reply that they like taking their time to weigh all the options and weren’t having any difficulty at all.
Here’s where the funny – or maddening! – part comes into play. Indecisive people can be hilarious in their obvious struggle when the matter being decided is of little importance. Like which movie to watch. What to order for a main course. Or which tie to wear with that new suit.
But what happens when the stakes are a little higher – say, for example, when your water heater is clearly telling you “help me!” and you decide for the time being to do nothing? That kind of indecisiveness can turn out to be pretty expensive, and then suddenly it’s not so funny.
That’s why we’re pleased to present the following and rather common signs of a problem with your water heater. If you should spot any of these, the sooner you pick up the phone to request professional help, the better off you’ll be.
- Rust colored water. This symptom indicates corrosion inside your water heater storage tank. If there’s any chance of being able to repair the damage, then time is of the essence.
- Water beneath or nearby your storage tank. Unless somebody accidentally spilled water near your storage tank, pooled water is another leading indicator of internal tank corrosion or a crack in the tank.
- Your water heater is taking longer to replenish itself. How would you even notice? Well, if once three people could take one shower after another with hot water to spare, but that’s no longer possible, either something’s wrong with your system or you’re taking considerably longer showers.
- No hot water at all. There are few things that get our phones ringing faster than a sudden end to a family’s hot water supply. But don’t despair, since the problem – such as a tripped circuit breaker or faulty thermostat – might be easily corrected.
