Few things are more unpleasant than getting into a cold jet of water when you couldn't wait to take a nice hot shower. Unfortunately, even the best water heater won't last forever, and older systems are prone to complete system failures. There's good news, though. By observing some warning signs, total system failure can be avoided.

Here are some signs that it might be time to replace your water heater.

Signs that it's time to replace your water heater

Water heater replacement

Do you have reddish water coming from the hot water taps? If so, your water heater could rust from the inside and it could start leaking. It could also indicate rusty pipes. To determine if it is a problem with the pipes or a problem with the heater, empty a few buckets of water from the hot water tank. If it's still rusty from the third bucket, your problem is most likely a rusty water heater.

Pooling of water around your water heater

The humidity around your water heater is a sign of water loss, even if you can't see the water coming from the tank. The metal expands when heated, allowing water to escape even into the smallest holes and crevices. As it cools, it contracts and temporarily stops the leak. If you notice that water collects around or under your water heater, it is almost always a sign of a big problem.

Strange noises

With the aging of the water heaters, sediments accumulate in the tank. The constant heating causes the sediment to harden. Hardened sediment can cause noises. The sediment layer also decreases efficiency and can cause small holes in water heaters and leaks. If your water heater hums, chances are you'll need a new system soon.

Troubleshooting water heater problems: Noisy pipes

When you start hearing noises in the water pipes, these can be caused by air or lack of air, obstructions and blockages in the water line. Here are some steps you can take to identify the problem. Water hammer Water hammer is a dull sound that results from the sudden pressurisation of the water line caused by the rapid closing of a tap or other water valve. The water rises rapidly, causing a loud hammering sound in the pipes. This damages the pipes over time. Water hammer only occurs when water is not flowing. You can rule out water hammer if you hear the noise while the water is flowing. Shut off the water supply to your house and drain the water from the pipes by opening a low tap, such as an outside tap or a tub. Turn off all taps and turn the water back on in the house by opening a tap and closing it. If you do not hear the clunk noise, the problem is a water hammer.
