When the hot water goes, even in the summer, life just doesn’t feel as comfortable. Norfolk Plumbing is here for your water heater woes all year long.
Water heaters rarely explode, but it’s not unusual for them to fail and leak or to shut down altogether. At any point between 8 and 12 years old, your water heater will begin to show its age. The internal anode that collects corrosive particles to keep the lining clean also gets corroded, so it will allow corrosive particles to settle to the bottom of the tank and rust the water heater from the inside out. When this happens you will begin to hear strange noises, and the water coming out of the faucets may be discolored; you may see leaks, and you might notice weird variations in water temperature. That’s when you know it’s time to call the Norfolk, VA water heater repair and replacement specialists at Norfolk Plumbing.
At Norfolk Plumbing, we are big proponents of installing tankless water heaters. Though the initial cost is higher than a conventional water heater, the significant savings you will realize over time is more than worth the investment.
