Repair or replace?
Most tanks last 8–12 years. If you're seeing any of these, it's worth a five-minute phone call before it becomes a flooded basement.
Check the serial number on the data plate — the first digits usually encode the year. Past a decade, failure is a when, not an if.
Moisture or rust streaks at the bottom of the tank usually mean the liner has failed. That's a replacement, and soon.
Sediment buildup makes the tank overheat and bang. It shortens the unit's life and drives your gas or electric bill up.
If it only happens on the hot side, the tank is corroding from the inside out.
Showers going cold quicker than they used to points to sediment or a failing element — sometimes repairable, sometimes not.
A pilot or igniter that keeps cutting out can be a simple fix — we'll tell you honestly if a repair makes more sense than a new unit.
