Water Heater Making Noise Houston TX
Popping or rumbling almost always means sediment buildup.
What the Sounds Mean
Popping or cracking, water boiling under sediment. Rumbling, more significant buildup. Banging, sometimes loose pipes rather than the tank itself. Ticking, usually just normal expansion, not a concern.
Why It Happens
Sediment insulates water from the heating element, forcing the unit to work harder over time.
A Recent Call

What Homeowners Said
“Should have called about that noise sooner.”
Coverage
Houston and surrounding metro.
