Ever hear popping or rumbling from your water heater? This common sound often points to sediment buildup in the tank. Minerals accumulate over time, and as water tries to escape through this layer, it creates steam bubbles that burst. Not only is this noise bothersome, but it also forces your water heater to work harder, reducing its efficiency and leading to higher energy bills. Understanding these sounds can help you maintain your system effectively.
