Water Heater Not Working: What to Do and Who to Call
Water heater not working: what to do first, which warning signs matter, and when to bring in a licensed plumber.
What Causes Water Heater Not Working?
Understanding water heater not working helps homeowners in Tampa Bay make informed decisions about when to call a plumber.
Warning Signs
- Little to no hot water, or hot water that runs out quickly
- Unusual noises from the tank (popping, rumbling)
- Water pooling around the base of the unit
- Discolored or rusty hot water
- The unit's age (10+ years) alongside any of the above
When to Call a Plumber
Call a plumber if you notice leaking, popping or rumbling sounds, or the unit is older -- these often mean sediment buildup or a failing tank rather than a quick fix.
What To Do Right Now
- Check for visible leaking or pooling around the unit and shut off its water supply if you see any
- Note any unusual sounds or smells coming from the unit
- Call CDS Service Co at (813) 590-7499
- Avoid running the unit if you see standing water nearby
