Signs your water heater is failing
Rusty or discolored hot water, a rotten-egg smell from the tap, popping or rumbling sounds from the tank, water pooling around the base, inconsistent temperature, or a tank that is simply old are all reasons to have it looked at before it fails completely.
A tank that is actively leaking from the tank body itself, rather than a fitting or valve, cannot be repaired and needs to be replaced before it causes water damage.
