Common Water Heater Problems & Their Causes
Even with proper maintenance, water heaters can develop issues over time. Here are some common problems:
- No Hot Water or Insufficient Heating – May be due to a faulty heating element, thermostat issues, or an undersized unit.
- Strange Noises (Rumbling, Popping, or Whining) – Caused by sediment buildup in the tank, reducing efficiency.
- Discolored or Rusty Water – Indicates corrosion inside the tank, often requiring anode rod replacement or a new unit.
- Rotten Egg Odor – Suggests bacteria buildup in the tank, which needs flushing and treatment.
- Leaking Water Heater – Could be due to a faulty temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve or a corroded tank needing replacement.
If you notice any of these issues, call The Waterworks for fast, reliable service before the problem leads to expensive damage. Â
Should You Repair or Replace Your Water Heater?
Not sure whether to repair or replace your water heater? Here’s a quick guide:
Repair Your Water Heater If:
- The issue is minor, such as a thermostat or heating element failure.
- The unit is less than 10 years old and well-maintained.
- You experience occasional issues, but the system still functions reliably.
Replace Your Water Heater If:
- Your unit is 10–15 years old and showing signs of wear.
- There’s corrosion, rust, or leaking from the tank.
- Your system no longer meets your household’s hot water needs.
- You want to upgrade to an energy-efficient model to lower utility bills.
Our team will assess your water heater’s condition and recommend the best solution for your needs and budget!
Extend the Life of Your Water Heater with Routine Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your water heater and improves efficiency. We recommend:
- Flushing the Tank Every 6–12 Months – Prevents sediment buildup that can reduce efficiency.
- Checking the Anode Rod – Prevents rust inside the tank and should be replaced if corroded.
- Inspecting T&P Valves – Ensures safety by preventing pressure buildup inside the tank.
- Checking for Corrosion – Catching early signs of rust or leaks can prevent costly damage.
Routine maintenance ensures long-term performance and lower energy costs.

Rating
Waterworks Plumbing is professional, reputable and easy to work with. I have confidence in their diagnosis, service, and recommendations. I will use their service again in the future.
My technician Brandon B solved my problem immediately was courteous, professional, and outstanding at his job. Price was more than fair. I give the entire experience three thumbs up.
Waterworks came over to check on my hot water heater, which I thought needed replacement. Turns out it’s working fine and the tech recommended NOT replacing it at this time. The tech was friendly and explained things well. Plus he was HONEST! I’m a Waterworks customer from now on!
Our technician Matt was very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. The job was done quickly and at a fair price. Will def use Waterworks again!
We have been customers for 20 years and Jonle has always provided excellent service.
JonLe Heating and Cooling is a well run business. The service is trustworthy and effective. They communicate very well. No surprises. I have asked several involved questions and they have always responded quickly and right to the point. In a world where customer service is disappearing, JonLe excels in customer service.
Chad is always friendly and efficient. He explains what he finds and what he does. I have no reservations about recommending JonLe.
Technican Ian Knecht was very helpful and efficient. He explained what steps he was taking to identify the cause of the problem and the procedures he took to make the repair quickly.
Jonle does an amazing job. We had routine check on A/C along with new PVC piping to humidifier. Kevin the technician was great. Explanation of everything was wonderful.
These two young men came out to put in downspouts. They worked quickly and cleaned up after themselves. I would call The Waterworks again if needed and definitely have recommended them to family and friends.
JonLe did an excellent job installing our HVAC unit and continue to provide great service and maintenance.
Replaced outdoor hose bib attached to front of home. Work was done by Brandon. He did a great job. I expected to pay $500 based on research i.e. Angi’s List. I paid $700. I did receive a $35 senior discount. Easy to schedule service.
Drains on both tubs not draining quickly enough when showering & kitchen sink was backing up into the tub. Called Waterworks and they were able to get someone out the same day. They are now draining as expected.
I had a big mess !!!!!!!! The WaterWorks was the only company that I contacted that had the knowledge and equipment. Next Day service !!!!♾️❤️
Jonle is the trusted HVAC provider for my condo building and they are awesome! They are flexible (my grandmother lives in the same building and they were able to schedule both of our spring maintenance on the same day), knowledgeable, and very competitively priced. Highly recommended!
Tim did a great job servicing our AC unit. He noticed an item that needed replacing and took care of it while he was here. Thank you Tim !
After 28 years of having enjoyed the peace of mind a company such as JonLe provides in total care and upkeep of my HVAC system I highly recommend anyone new in the area or anyone wanting to find better quality service than they are used to having with their own provider to give JonLe a call, you won't be sorry!
Great service and professionalism by the service technician with my repair.
Logan L. did an Awesome job!!! He was so kind & patient with explaining everything! He went above and beyond!! 👏🏻🙂♥️ Thank you Logan & Waterworks!!! I will never call any other company!!!
Chad was a delight to deal with. On-time, friendly and efficient. He has served us well for several years. Simply put, " Good Job ".
My technician was very efficient and cleaned up after he was finished also he was very personable
Ryan from WaterWorks did a fantastic job installing a new toilet. He was upfront with pricing over the phone. Ryan was knowledgeable and explained everything and answered questions. We will definitely use WaterWorks again.
I’ve used JonLe for years whether general maintenance, service or replacement. Every single person I have worked with from the office to the techs to the sales team have been so great to work with. Always friendly and professional, extremely fair and they don’t try to push unnecessary or unneeded items, take the time to explain and educate at the same time. They will continue to be my go to team!
Waterworks does preventative maintenance on my sewer line yearly. I have a lot of trees and the roots can be pesky. I always request for Dave Canning to do the work. He is prompt, professional and has many years of experience. Highly recommend them!
Travis did a great job. He was very thorough and knowledgeable about how to use the Waterwork's great technology to be sure our drains were completely clear.
kept well informed with multiple reminders, texts with detailed information about service and the Tech prior to arriving......pic of the Tech in the text was a nice touch
I have used Jonle for several years now, and I am very happy with the service they provide!
I have been a JonLe customer for over twenty years. Today's service call was more evidence of why. Dino, our service tech, showed up on time, was professional and knowledgeable. He completed his worked and walked us through everything he had done and the condition of our HVAC system. I have great confidence in JonLe and am always comforted by the skill their team displays.
Today I had my semi-annual pre-cooling season system checkup. I received both a text and phone call when the technician was on his way. He arrived on time. Chad is professional and very personable. He updated me on what he did and made sure I understood. His work was thorough and gives me peace of mind that my heat pump and furnace are in good working order for the upcoming summer. He replaced my furnace filter (as its life had almost expired) and reset my filter maintenance minder. I am a very happy customer of West Chester Heating & Cooling.
