What Causes Water Heaters to Fail?
Water heaters can fail for a variety of reasons, including:
- Sediment Accumulation: Minerals in hard water can settle at the bottom of the tank over time, which can reduce efficiency and cause overheating, potentially damaging the tank.
- Corrosion: The anode rod in water heaters is designed to attract corrosive elements. Once it becomes too corroded and isn’t replaced, the tank can start to corrode.
- High Water Pressure: Excessive water pressure can put stress on the tank and its components, leading to leaks and failure.
- Malfunctioning Thermostat: A thermostat that doesn’t work properly can cause the water to overheat, stressing the tank and causing damage.
- Aging: Water heaters typically last between 8-12 years. As they age, their components wear out, making failure more likely.
- Electrical Problems: For electric water heaters, issues with wiring or heating elements can lead to failure.
- Improper Installation: If a water heater isn’t installed correctly, it can result in problems such as leaks or poor heating performance, eventually causing failure.
- Lack of Maintenance: Regular maintenance, like flushing the tank to remove sediment and checking the anode rod, is crucial for prolonging the life of a water heater.
- Leaks: Leaks from the tank or its connections can cause significant damage if not addressed promptly.
- Heavy Use: In homes with high hot water demand, water heaters may wear out faster due to constant use.
