There are few sounds on earth that are more attention-getting than the yells of a teenager stepping into the shower and getting COLD WATER! It sounds like the end of the world has arrived. The next sound is of a parent’s footsteps heading toward the hot water heater to take a look.
Hot water heaters are generally ignored until there’s a problem; they are normally very reliable. One of the first things that the plumber would look for when the heater isn’t working properly is whether or not the water is rusty or has a bad odor. Another common problem is that the water pressure is too low. Usually, but not always, that means something is clogged. Clogs can occur at the heater itself or in one of the pipes leading to the heater. One of the most dangerous problems can happen when extremely hot water is pouring onto the floor. Other malfunctions can happen to only gas or electric water heaters. Plumbers need to be able to repair all types.
If water is coming out of the tank of the hot water heater that almost certainly means a new one will be needed. A knowledgeable plumber will be able to recommend the correct size and type. If the children were small when the current heater was installed and are now teens taking umpteen showers a day, a larger heater would be a good idea. A 40-gallon hot water heater, for example, actually delivers less than 30 gallons of hot water. This can be used up quickly. In winter, it takes longer for the heater to recover and provide all the hot water that is required.
