A water heater that is not running as it should can affect more than water temperature. Sediment buildup is common in both gas and electric tank systems, especially in areas with hard water.
Over time, this buildup reduces heating efficiency, increases noise inside the tank, and can lead to premature tank wear. Heating elements, thermostats, gas control valves, or ignition components can also fail, causing inconsistent temperatures or no hot water at all. Leaks around the tank should be taken seriously because they often indicate tank corrosion or a failing pressure relief valve.
Tennessee Standard Plumbing provides careful evaluations that identify both functional problems and safety concerns. We explain what we find in simple terms and recommend solutions that restore performance and protect your home.
Small changes in performance often appear before the system stops working completely. If you notice any of the signals below, your water heater may need a professional check:

Try to note the age of the unit, whether you’re seeing leaks or rust, and how long heating issues have been happening. Sharing those details helps us prepare for your evaluation.
Most tank water heaters last about eight to twelve years, depending on water quality, maintenance, and usage. Tankless systems often last longer because they do not store standing water, which reduces internal corrosion.
Water heater size depends on household demand. Many homes use a forty or fifty gallon tank, while larger families may require a bigger unit or a high-output tankless system. A professional assessment helps match the right size to your usage.
Slow heating can be caused by failing heating elements, a clogged burner, sediment buildup, or a thermostat that is not responding correctly. Long pipe runs and uninsulated lines can also delay hot water delivery.
Many issues can be repaired, such as faulty thermostats, failed heating elements, ignition problems, or a worn anode rod. Replacement is usually recommended when the tank is leaking, heavily corroded, or past its typical service life.
Most water heaters benefit from an annual service visit. Routine flushing, anode rod inspection, and component checks help maintain efficiency and reduce the chance of unexpected failure.
