These issues can result in dirty water, lower water flow, or a complete lack of hot water.

You may be running out of hot water due to sediment buildup, a water tank that's too small for your home's needs, or a faulty heating element. If you water heater is 10 years old or older it may be time for a replacement. Regular maintenance, such as draining the tank and flushing out sediment, can help prevent this issue.
