Why Leaking Water Heaters are Dangerous

Water heaters are probably the most underappreciated appliance in a home. After water heater installation, most homeowners forget about them until something goes wrong. However, this shouldn’t be the case. To make the most of your unit, it’s best to partner with Plumbing Professionals for routine maintenance.

Regular water heater services can prevent severe damage. Leaks are the most common issue, and they are dangerous when left neglected. Here is why you should repair leaking water heaters immediately.

Corrosion

When a tankless water heater develops leaks in the heat exchanger, the whole system may eventually corrode. Most of the time, when the system is corroded, you will have to replace everything. The good news is you can avoid the costs of buying a new one through routine inspections. This allows you to spot leaks and other underlying issues early, preventing them from turning into a bigger problem.

Water Damage

A leaking water heater can potentially flood the room you stored it in and cause severe water damage. Not only can it ruin your floors and walls, but it can pose safety hazards as well. When you notice signs of leaks, get professional water heater repair in Birmingham, AL as soon as you can.

Explosion

Although water heater explosions are rare, they can happen if you’re not taking preventive measures. If you have a broken pressure relief valve or corroded anode rod, the pressure may build up, increasing the chance of an explosion. A qualified plumber in Birmingham, AL can identify such issues and fix them before they get out of hand. Repairing leaking heaters will also help you avoid an extreme fire hazard.

An untimely water heater replacement can be costly, but you can avoid this with routine maintenance and inspection. When you work with Plumbing Professionals, we’ll save you from the risks that come with faulty water heaters through our range of top-notch solutions.

Couldn’t be happier with the service received from Plumbing Professionals. Price was lower than others had quoted and service was second to none.
