How to Tell If Your Water Heater Is About to Fail

A hot shower should never be a gamble. But if your water heater is on its last legs, you might find yourself stuck with lukewarm—or even cold—water.

At All Around Water Services, we help homeowners in Cape Coral and North Fort Myers know when it’s time to act before their water heater fails completely.

Common Signs Your Water Heater Is Failing

Knowing the warning signs can help you avoid a full breakdown:

• Water takes longer to heat than usual

• Inconsistent or fluctuating temperatures

• Popping or rumbling noises from the tank

• Rust-colored or smelly hot water

• Leaking or pooling water around the unit

• Your unit is 8+ years old

These red flags often point to sediment buildup, corrosion, or a failing heating element.

Why Water Heaters Wear Out Faster in Florida

Florida's hot, humid climate and hard water can shorten the lifespan of your water heater. Common causes include:

• Mineral buildup from hard water

• Humidity corrosion in garages or outdoor installs

• High usage from large households

• Lack of maintenance or flushing

Routine service and inspections can significantly extend your unit’s life.
