Most water heaters last 10 to 12 years. These signs mean it is time for a check before it fails completely.
- Rumbling or popping: sediment has built up in the tank.
- Rusty or cloudy hot water: the inside of the tank may be corroding.
- Water around the base: a valve or the tank itself is leaking.
- Hot water runs out fast: a heating element or thermostat may be failing.
- It is over 10 years old: plan the replacement before it surprises you.
