Signs of Water Heater Damage
Early detection can help mitigate the scope of damage and the extent of your costs. Call us when you notice any of these red flags:
- Strange noises. Popping or rumbling from your water heater often indicates sediment buildup. These sounds can be an early warning sign of a larger issue within your system. If left unaddressed, this can lead to inefficiencies and potential damage to the tank.
- Discolored water. This can be a sign of rust inside your water heater. Rust can corrode your tank from the inside out, eventually leading to leaks and possibly contaminating your water supply.
- Inconsistent water temperature. This fluctuation may be due to a failing heating element or thermostat. If not resolved, it can lead to increased energy consumption and discomfort in your daily routines, as well as further deterioration of your heater.
- Lower water pressure. This might be caused by sediment or mineral deposits blocking your water heater’s pipes. Reduced pressure can interfere with the performance of your appliances and fixtures, leading to potential strain on your plumbing system.
- Pooling water. Water pooling around your heater or leaks are clear signs of trouble. Ignoring this can cause significant water damage to surrounding areas, promote mold growth, and increase your utility bills due to water wastage.
- The heater keeps running. This often results from a thermostat problem or poor insulation. Continuous operation not only spikes your energy bills but also reduces the lifespan of your water heater, increasing the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns.
- Foul-smelling water. These odors may suggest bacterial growth inside the tank. This can compromise water quality, making it unsuitable for use and potentially harmful.
The biggest sign that it may be time to install a new water heater is your current unit’s age. A tank-style water heater can last for up to 20 years with proper maintenance but usually reaches the end of its lifespan after about 12 years. Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, tend to last longer, at 15 to 20 years. Older water heaters run less efficiently, costing you more on your utility bills while functioning less consistently than a newer installation.
Traditional vs. Tankless Water Heaters: Which One Is Right for You?
- Traditional Water Heaters store hot water in a tank, making them a great option for households with high water usage. They are cost-effective upfront but may have higher energy costs over time.
- Tankless Water Heaters heat water on demand, offering unlimited hot water while saving space and reducing energy consumption. They tend to have a higher initial cost but lower long-term expenses.
What Size Water Heater Do I Need for My Home?
Choosing the right size depends on household size and water usage. For a family of four, a 40–50-gallon traditional water heater is ideal, while a properly sized tankless model ensures a continuous hot water supply without unnecessary energy waste.

Installing Tankless Water Heaters
TL Premier Plumbing is committed to offering innovative solutions for your home’s water heating needs. A prime example is the tankless water heater, which represents a significant shift from traditional tank models.
Unlike conventional water heaters that store and constantly heat a large volume of water, tankless systems provide hot water on demand. This means the unit only activates when you turn on the faucet, delivering a continuous supply of hot water without the standby energy losses associated with tank models.
Tankless water heaters are compact and can be mounted on walls, allowing for the more efficient use of space and offering greater flexibility in installation choices. This modern design not only saves space but also provides seamless integration into your home.
With a tankless water heater, concerns about running out of hot water during peak times are a thing of the past. Whether you’re showering, doing laundry, or running the dishwasher, a tankless system keeps the hot water flowing as needed.
Our experienced technicians are available to answer any questions about tankless water heaters, providing the information needed to decide if it’s right for your property, needs, and budget.
