Water Heater Making Noise San Antonio TX
Popping or rumbling almost always means sediment, more common here given local water hardness.
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's Common Here
Edwards Aquifer water carries mineral content that settles as sediment faster than in areas with softer water.
A Recent Call

What Homeowners Said
“Should have called about that noise years earlier.”
Coverage
