Signs You Need a New Water Heater

If you recognize any of these, call PNW Plumbing at 503-957-8703.

🌡️

No Hot Water

If you're completely out of hot water and the unit won't recover, it may have failed entirely.

🕐

Unit Is 10+ Years Old

Most tank water heaters last 8–12 years. After that, efficiency drops and failure risk increases significantly.

💧

Leaking Around the Tank

Rust or water pooling at the base of the water heater means the tank is failing — don't wait.

🦀

Rusty or Discolored Water

Rust-colored hot water typically means the inside of your tank is corroding.

🔊

Rumbling or Popping Sounds

Sediment buildup causes loud noises as the heater cycles — efficiency drops and failure can follow.

💡

Rising Energy Bills

An aging water heater works harder and uses more energy as it approaches the end of its lifespan.
