🧯 Common Water Heater Problems in Baltimore Homes
We see the same water heater issues pop up across homes in Baltimore, Parkville, Towson, and surrounding areas. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to call a licensed plumber:
-
No hot water or inconsistent temperature
-
Water takes too long to heat
-
Leaking from the tank, valves, or fittings
-
Rust-colored or discolored hot water
-
Loud rumbling or popping noises
-
Older units (8–12+ years) nearing the end of their life
Many of these issues stem from sediment buildup, corroded parts, worn-out heating elements, or improperly installed equipment. The sooner you address these problems, the lower your risk of complete failure—or water damage.
