????????????Your water heater is an essential component in the comfort and convenience of your family. With hot water readily available, you can easily manage everything from laundry to bathing and meal prep; however, as with any appliance, taking care of your water heater and keeping it in top operating condition will sometimes require professional repairs. Fortunately, a professional plumber can handle all types of problems with your hot water heater and will provide an excellent way to handle issues, such as a noisy water heater.

Whether it’s a high pitched whining noise or crackling, popping sounds, your water heater is in need of professional water heater repair. Typically, when you experience noise problems like this, your water heater has an accumulation of sediment in the tank and perhaps on the heating element. To resolve the problem and get your tank and heating element clean again will require a complete flush of the tank and thorough scrubbing of the internal heating elements.

The accumulation of materials, such as sand, iron, calcium, magnesium and other undissolved grit can all affect the performance of your hot water heater. In fact, having your hot water heater drained and serviced can actually help improve efficiency, helping you to save money.

When your hot water heater is in need of repairs or service, be sure to contact an experienced plumber. Noisy operation and poor performance are definitely not issues that should be ignored.
