Common Causes of Water Heater Malfunction Water Damage
Tank style water heaters are quite efficient when in good working order. A cold water intake pipe allows water to enter the tank at the top of the unit. This water is fed through a dip tube for heating. Depending on whether the unit is gas or electric, the heating mechanism heats water to the temperature specified on the thermostat before shutting off. The water then exits through the hot water outlet to deliver the water throughout the property. The following are common causes of water heater malfunction water damage.
Lack of Maintenance
Failing to regularly check and maintain your water heater is the most common cause of tank-style water heater malfunction water damage. Worst of all, lack of maintenance creates other serious issues, including corrosion, as well as scale and sediment build up.
Corrosion
Corrosion happens when the sacrificial anode rod deteriorates. The rod's purpose is to attract corrosive elements away from exposed steel in the tank. While designed to corrode, failure to replace the rod can result in water heater malfunction water damage.
Scale/Sediment
Hard water creates scale and sediment if not cleaned. Without cleaning, the scale and sediment inhibit the anode rod from preventing corrosion. This, in turn, can lead to one or both heating elements failing. This leads to water heater malfunction water damage.
