Is It Time to Replace Your Water Heater?
A water heater is more than just an appliance—it’s an essential part of your daily comfort and well-being. When it begins to falter, deciding whether to repair or replace it can be a difficult and often emotional choice.

Signs Your Water Heater May Need Attention:
- Water Leaking from the Tank - Puddles or drips near your heater can signal internal corrosion or a failing valve—both require prompt attention.
- Dirty or Rust-Colored Water – Discolored water can indicate rust inside the tank or sediment buildup, which impacts water quality and appliance life.
- Visible Rust or Corrosion on the Tank Exterior – Surface rust is often an early warning of internal deterioration—and may mean your tank is nearing the end of its life.
- Reduced Hot Water Supply – If you're running out of hot water faster than usual, your heater may be losing efficiency or nearing failure.
