If you live in Rittenhouse, Old City, or Society Hill and notice your water heater popping or rumbling, sediment buildup is likely the culprit. Minerals from hard water settle at the tank’s base, trapping heat and creating noise.
Center City Plumbing Experts recommends flushing the tank annually to maintain efficiency. Ignoring these sounds leads to longer heating times, higher energy bills, and potential tank failure.
For optimal performance, monitor temperature settings and install a water softener if needed. Regular professional service ensures your unit remains energy-efficient and long-lasting.
For safety guidance, review U.S. DOE’s Water Heating Best Practices.
Quiet systems aren’t just comfortable—they’re a sign your plumbing is working at peak efficiency.
