1. Rusted and Discolored Tap Water
If your hot water flows with a brown, rusty tint while the cold water remains clear, the interior lining of your water heater cylinder is corroding. This is a critical warning sign that the tank shell is weakening and could burst.
2. Active Drips from False Ceiling Panels
Any signs of dampness, bubbling paint, or water droplets on the ceiling panels directly below your water heater access door require immediate inspection. It could be a simple hose replacement or a cracked tank shell.
3. Pressure Relief Valve Overpressure Drips
The temperature-pressure relief (TPR) valve is a safety device designed to release excess heat or pressure. If the valve is constantly dripping, the thermostat is likely failing to shut off the heating element, causing dangerous overpressure.
