Common causes include thermostat failure, heating element issues (electric units), pilot light problems (gas units), or sediment buildup.
Leaks may come from fittings or valves, but if the tank itself is leaking, replacement is typically required.

Sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank can cause overheating and noise during heating cycles.
Most tank systems last 8–12 years depending on maintenance and water quality.
If the unit is under 10 years old and the tank itself is intact, repair is often the most cost-effective option.
