Common Causes of Hot Water Problems
A Crushed or Broken Dip Tube
One of the most common causes of water heating problems in homes is a broken or crushed dip tube. The dip tube plays a crucial role in moving cold water to the bottom of the tank, where it can be efficiently heated. However, when the tube is damaged, cold water is unable to circulate properly, resulting in less hot water reaching your taps. Don’t worry, our experienced technicians can quickly diagnose and fix this issue.
Malfunctioning or Defective Heating System
Having a faulty heating system can be incredibly unsettling. If you suspect that your heating system is malfunctioning or defective, it’s best to seek the advice of a professional plumbing service. We are just a call away at 020 34752302, ready to provide you with emergency heating professional services.
Sediment Build-up in the Tank
Another common cause of lukewarm or cold water in London homes is sediment build-up in the heating system, particularly in tank heating systems. Over time, sand and debris settle at the bottom of the tank, reducing the effectiveness of your water heater.
If your water heater has a bottom or underneath location, this build-up can further hinder its performance, resulting in lukewarm or cold water. It’s essential to have a plumbing professional diagnose and repair these water heating problems for you.
Preventing Unexpected Water Heating Problems
While emergencies are unavoidable, routine inspection and service of your heating system can help prevent unnecessary hiccups. When each component of your heating system is regularly scrutinized, you significantly reduce the risk of damage to the system.
What to Do When Your Heating Systems Troubleshoot
If you notice that your water heating system is not functioning correctly, here are a few tips to help you troubleshoot:
-
Electric: Check the fuse or circuit on your switchboard to ensure it is functioning correctly. If the fuse is blown or defective, replace it with the appropriate fuse wire. In cases where the circuit breaker has tripped, fix and reset it to the “on” position. However, some blown fuses or tripped circuits will require the service of an authorized plumber. Schedule a same-day service appointment with us at Emergency Plumber London by calling 020 34752302.
-
Gas: For gas water heaters, check the pilot light to ensure it is functioning properly. Most storage gas water heaters include step-by-step instructions on the cover panel. Follow them carefully. If you encounter any difficulties during the process, it’s best to call a professional plumber. In the worst-case scenario of a gas smell, avoid making calls within the building.
