Water heater making noise? Popping and rumbling mean sediment; screeching means a valve; banging means water hammer. Learn which noises need water heater repair in NH.
(888) 480-9811Sediment on the tank bottom traps water that boils and pops through the layer. Flushing the tank helps early on; a heavily scaled tank that keeps rumbling is nearing replacement.
Usually a partly closed inlet valve or a failing temperature-pressure relief valve. The TPR valve is a safety device — have it checked promptly.
Ticking is normal expansion. Banging on shutoff is water hammer, fixed with arrestors. Humming in an electric heater is a loose element. When the tank itself is over 10 years old and noisy, replacement — possibly with tankless — is often the better spend.
