What Causes Gas Water Heaters to Break?

Gas water heaters can break for any number of reasons, but some of the most common include:

• A faulty thermostat that cannot control temperature properly
• A defective gas valve that shuts the burners off
• Leaking pressure relief valve
• Leaks in the water supply lines or drain valve
• Poor heating due to dirty burners or a dirty flue
• Reduced capacity due to sediment accumulation in the tank
• Leaks caused by corrosion of the tank walls

How To Know You Need Repair Over Replacement

Usually, water heater repairs are the best option if your water heater is less than 15 years old and in good condition. Problems like faulty thermostats, sediment accumulation, or a leaking pressure relief valve can be repaired at a reasonable cost. But if your water heater is over 12 years old, the tank has sprung a leak, or it needs costly parts, consider a replacement.

DIY Repair Tips

An expert plumber should handle most water heater repairs, but there are a few things you can do to fix common issues before calling in the pros. If your water heater is not hot enough or is too hot, try adjusting the thermostat. Turn the dial in small increments, and wait a few hours to see if it works. Ideally, the water should be about 120°F.

If your water heater stops working, ensure the pilot light is operating. To relight it, you typically have to turn the thermostat to the off position and wait a few minutes. Then, open the access cover, turn the thermostat to pilot, and press the ignition button.

Once the pilot is steady, turn the thermostat back to your desired setting. If your water heater is equipped with an electronic igniter, the flame sensor may need to be cleaned.

Preventative Maintenance Tips

Your water heater should be serviced by a professional once a year. During that visit, the technician will drain the water tank and flush out the sediment. They’ll also inspect the pressure relief valve, water supply lines, and tank for leaks. Once every few years, the anode rod should be replaced to prevent tank corrosion and premature water heater failure.

You should visually inspect the water heater every few months, checking for leaks. If your hot water ever becomes discolored, smells odd, or leaves behind stains in your sinks, call a professional for a more in-depth diagnosis.
