Popping, banging, or rumbling sounds indicate heavy mineral sediment accumulation at the bottom of the tank. As trapped water boils beneath this sediment layer, steam bubbles burst violently. A professional sediment flush by Water Heater Repair Masters in Poway, CA can eliminate this noise.

If your water heater is under 10 years old and the problem involves a replaceable component—such as a heating element, thermostat, thermocouple, or relief valve—repair is usually cost-effective.
