Water heaters are rarely fine one day and then deceased the next. There are usually warning signs that a water heater is on its last leg. The following are some of the most common signals that it’s nearing the end of its life.

​

• No hot Water - There's not much worse than a cold shower. if your water seems lukewarm it means your water heater is at the end of its life. 

• Cloudy or Rusty Water - The anode rod inside your water heater prevents the inside from rusting. Once that wears out, the inside of the water heater will rust causing cloudy or rusty water indicating the end is not far. 

• Rumbling or Popping - As a water heater ages minerals from hard water build up inside the tank which create air pockets in the hot water that create the popping noises as air is released.
