Methods of Preventing Water Heater Repairs in Pueblo

While Patterson Plumbing & Heating, Inc. provides our customers with top-notch repair and replacement services, there are ways to treat your system to avoid costly services. Regular maintenance and proper usage are key to extending the operational life of your water heater and maintaining optimal performance.

These include:

• Installing A Drip Pan: A drip pan is inexpensive and effective. The drip pan is installed under the water heater to collect any extraneous dripping water. The drip pan can be piped to drain the water outside the home or into a suitable drain. An ideal time to replace or install a drip pan is when the water heater is being replaced.
• Flushing Your Water Heater Tank: Our licensed plumbing technicians can do this for you, or you can do it yourself by hooking up a hose to drain the tank to a suitable drain. Flushing the water heating tank should be done twice a year to remove sediment buildup and improve efficiency.
• Checking Water Heater Valves: Check regularly to ensure the shut-off and drain valves are working correctly. It's also important to ensure that the home's main water shut-off valve is working in case of an emergency when you need to turn off all water to the house. Regular monitoring helps prevent emergency situations.
• Checking for Water Heater Leaks: Every month, it's a good idea to check your water heater for leaking. Be on the watch for spraying, water droplets, or mist outside the tank. Corrosion and lime buildup on the pipes can also be indicators of issues. Addressing leaks early can save money and prevent damage.

Warning Signs of Water Heater Failure

Sometimes, even the most well-maintained water heating system needs attention. Our plumbers have the skills required to handle this task.

If you notice any of the following, it may be time to schedule a water heater repair or replacement service:

• Lack or loss of hot water indicates a potential issue with the heating element or thermostat.
• Any sign of water leakage or damage requires immediate attention to prevent flooding and structural damage.
• Rusting or loose bolts & screws can compromise the structural integrity of the heater.
• A soft or spongy floor might suggest water leakage that could lead to significant repair costs if not addressed promptly.
• Wall deterioration, mildew, or mold are clear indicators of moisture issues needing quick resolution.
• The smell of gas is dangerous; call the gas company immediately and evacuate the area.
• Popping, crackling, or other strange noises may indicate electrical problems or sediment buildup.
• Unusual moisture or condensation around the water heater can suggest a malfunction that might escalate if unchecked.

Understanding Pueblo's Water Dynamics

Pueblo is known for its water dynamics, influenced by the nearby Arkansas River and the semi-arid climate. These factors can affect water quality, leading to sedimentation issues in water heaters. Regular maintenance is crucial in these conditions to prevent sediment buildup that reduces efficiency and increases energy costs. The local climate necessitates systems that can withstand expansive temperature fluctuations. Patterson Plumbing & Heating, Inc. offers solutions that account for these factors, ensuring your water heater remains efficient and effective throughout the year. We use local insights to provide advice on the best systems for your home, taking into consideration Pueblo’s water hardness and mineral content. This personalized approach is what sets our service apart from others, as we aim to deliver not just a service, but a tailored experience based on local knowledge and years of dedicated service.
