What to Do When Your Water Heater Fails
When your water heater stops working or you see leaks, time is of the essence to prevent further damage. Taking early action helps protect your home and can speed up the repair process. Here are some steps Houston homeowners can follow to stay safe and regain comfort quickly.
If your water heater stops working, follow these initial steps:
- Check for visible leaks. If you find water collecting around your heater, turn off the water supply valve leading to your tank. Next, for electric units, switch off the breaker; for gas heaters, move the gas control to “pilot.”
- Listen for unusual sounds. If you hear banging or popping noises, there might be mineral build-up—a frequent problem due to calcium-rich water.
- Monitor water temperature. Sudden changes in temperature—either too cold or scalding—can signal a failing thermostat or heating element.
- Call a professional. If you aren’t able to restore function or you feel unsafe, it’s best to call a licensed plumber. Our team is available around the clock, and we follow Houston’s codes and best practices to keep your home protected.
These simple actions can help prevent bigger issues and give you peace of mind. If you feel unsure about the next step, reach out to Sealy Plumbing for fast, friendly advice while you wait for help.

Signs Your Water Heater is Calling for Help
Your water heater will often give you warning signs before it shuts down completely. Learning to recognize these signals can save you from the shock of an unexpected cold shower. One of the most common indicators is strange noises coming from the tank. If you hear popping, rumbling, or banging sounds, it usually indicates that sediment has built up at the bottom of the tank and is hardening. This forces the burner to work harder to heat the water, which can overheat the tank and damage the metal. If you notice these sounds, it is time to call us for an inspection.
- Another clear sign of trouble is rusty or discolored water coming from your hot water taps. This can suggest that the inside of your tank is beginning to corrode or that the sacrificial anode rod—which protects the tank from rust—has worn out. If this is not addressed quickly, the rust can eat through the tank, leading to a major leak that could damage your flooring and drywall. We can inspect the anode rod and flush the tank to remove sediment, potentially saving the unit from total failure.
Inconsistent water temperature is perhaps the most annoying sign that something is wrong. If you find that your hot water runs out much faster than it used to, or if the water never seems to get hot enough, you may have a broken heating element or a malfunctioning thermostat. In some cases, it could simply be that the dip tube has broken, allowing cold water to mix with the hot water at the top of the tank. Whatever the symptom, paying attention to these changes allows us to intervene early with effective repairs.
