Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heat Repair in Oklahoma
Most likely, you are referring to the overflow pipe attached to the temperature relief valve on the water heater. This safety valve helps relieve excess temperature and pressure inside the water heater in case of high pressure or an overheated water heater. If it leaks, there may be a problem.
Waiting a long time at the faucet for hot water to arrive is usually due to the plumbing in the home. When the hot water leaves the tank of the water heater, it has to travel through the piping to reach the faucet. However, there may also be a problem with the water heater heating the water.
When a water heater produces smelly water, it can relate to the mineral compound in the water supply reacting with the inside of the water heater. Depending on the chemical content of your water, sometimes a water heater can produce “smelly water.” The combined presence of hydrogen, sulfur, and bacteria causes foul-smelling water, including that “rotten egg smell.”
