🚿 Picking a Plumber: How to Find the Right Pro for Your Home

Hot showers, clean dishes, cozy baths — your water heater works hard every day! 🔥 But like any appliance, it won’t last forever.

Knowing when it’s time to replace your water heater can save you from icy surprises and costly water damage. Here are the biggest warning signs to watch for. 👀


⏳ 1. It's Over 10 Years Old

Most traditional tank water heaters last 8–12 years.

  • 📅 If yours is older than a decade, replacement is usually smarter than repair.
  • 🛠️ Aging tanks become less efficient and more prone to leaks.

Find your water heater's age by checking the serial number on the manufacturer's label!


🌊 2. Rusty Water or Rusty Tank

Notice reddish or brown water coming from your faucets?

  • 🛑 Rust could be forming inside your water heater’s tank.
  • 🛑 Rust = weakened walls, leaks, and eventual failure.

If your cold water is clear but your hot water is rusty, it’s time to call Big Daddy's Plumbing for a professional inspection!


💧 3. Water Pooling Around the Heater

Any signs of leaking or puddles near your unit are serious trouble.

  • 🚨 Small leaks can quickly escalate into major flooding.
  • 🚨 Internal tank damage often can't be repaired — replacement is safer.

Don’t ignore "just a little water" — it’s an early warning that a full failure is coming.


🎵 4. Rumbling, Banging, or Popping Noises

Strange noises aren’t just annoying—they’re a red flag! 🚨

  • 🔥 Sediment builds up over time inside the tank.
  • 🎯 Hardened sediment causes overheating, inefficiency, and damage.

If your water heater sounds like a popcorn machine, it’s probably nearing the end of its life.


💦 5. Inconsistent or Lukewarm Water

Tired of cold showers? 🥶

  • 🚫 If you’re not getting steady hot water anymore
  • 🚫 If temperatures fluctuate wildly

... your water heater’s heating elements or tank itself could be failing.
