Great question! A rumbling or popping noise from your hot water tank is often a sign of sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. Over time, minerals in the water can settle and harden, especially if the tank isn’t flushed regularly. When the heating element works to heat the water, it also heats this sediment, causing the water trapped in it to boil and create that rumbling sound. If you’re hearing these noises, it might be time for a tank cleaning or inspection to ensure everything’s running smoothly. Remember, regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of your tank and ensure consistent water temperature.

Water around the base of your hot water tank is a clear sign that something’s amiss. It could be due to a leak, excessive condensation, or even a fault in the tank’s internal components. It’s essential to address this immediately to prevent potential water damage or electrical hazards. We recommend shutting off the power supply to the tank and giving us a call. Our experts at Screaming Eagle Plumbing can diagnose the issue and suggest the best course of action to get your system back in tip-top shape.

 It’s a good rule of thumb to have your hot water tank inspected annually. Regular check-ups can catch potential issues early on, ensuring you always have a steady supply of hot water and avoiding more significant, costlier problems down the road. If you’ve installed a new system or haven’t had yours checked in a while, it’s a good idea to reach out.
