Water Heaters Questions from Matthews
A standard tank often lasts around 8 to 12 years. Rust-colored hot water, rumbling noises, water at the base or a tank older than ten years are signs to have it checked. Replacing it before it fails avoids water damage and a cold-shower morning.
Call us and describe what you are seeing, where it is in the house and when it started. We will explain what the first visit involves and find a time that works. Before any work starts at your Matthews home, you get a clear plan and an estimate.
Matthews is about 42 miles from our base in Landis, roughly 55 minutes south on I-85 and around I-485. That puts it inside our regular service area. When you call, tell us your street and the problem so we can plan the visit and bring the right parts.
Popping or rumbling usually means sediment has built up on the bottom of the tank. Water trapped under the sediment boils and pops as the burner heats it. Flushing the tank can help if the buildup is caught early. On an older unit, it can be a sign the tank is wearing out.
