What We Fix: Common Water Heater Issues in Tampa Homes
Water heaters don’t give much warning when they’re about to fail. One day you’ve got hot water — the next, nothing. At Megatech Plumbing, we’ve seen it all and fixed it all. Here are the most common water heater problems we handle across Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, and nearby cities:
No hot water: The most obvious one. Could be a bad thermostat, failed heating element, or total unit failure.
Water takes too long to heat: This might mean sediment buildup, aging parts, or the wrong size unit for your household.
Toilet leaks: Whether it’s a random flush or a slow trickle, toilet leaks quietly raise your water bill.
Leaking water heater tank: Whether it’s a slow drip or a puddle forming, leaks need immediate attention.
Pilot light won’t stay lit (gas units): Common with older models or dirty thermocouples.
Weird noises (popping, rumbling): Usually caused by sediment hardening inside the tank.
Discolored or rusty water: That’s a sign the inside of your tank might be corroding.
Inconsistent water temps: Could be electrical issues, sensor failures, or pressure problems.
High utility bills: A failing water heater works harder and wastes energy — and your money.
Even if you’re not sure what the problem is, we’ll figure it out. Our licensed plumbers use proper diagnostics and always explain what’s happening in plain English, no tech talk, no guesswork.
7 Warning Signs Your Water Heater Might Be Going Bad
1. Inconsistent Water Temperature
Hot, then cold, then lukewarm — if your water can't stay steady, something's up. It could be a failing thermostat or sediment buildup messing with performance.
2. Rusty or Discolored Water
If your hot water looks brownish or has a metallic smell, your tank could be corroding from the inside out. That’s a big red flag your water heater is nearing the end.
3. Strange Noises From the Tank
Popping, cracking, or rumbling sounds? That’s often hardened sediment reacting to heat. Left alone, it can damage the tank and drive up your energy bills.
4. Water Around the Base of the Tank
A small pool or consistent moisture near your unit means a leak could be forming. Don’t ignore it — this can quickly turn into a major flood risk.
5. Takes Too Long to Heat Up
If your water takes forever to warm up (or doesn’t get hot at all), the heating elements may be worn out or clogged with mineral deposits.
6. High Energy Bills
A struggling water heater uses more power to do less work. If your utility bills spike without reason, it might be the unit working overtime.
7. The Unit Is Over 8–10 Years Old
Water heaters don’t last forever. If yours is pushing a decade or more, it’s time to think about replacement — especially if any of the signs above are also happening.
