Common Reasons
Look for tank-body leaks, rust, frequent loss of hot water, unusual rumbling, recurring component failures, or water around the base. A connection leak may be repairable, so the leak location matters.
What May Be Checked
A provider may review tank condition, fuel or electrical connections, venting, shutoffs, relief components, drain access, pipe condition, space, and household hot-water demand before recommending equipment.
