One of the things that our home inspectors check at Bloodhound Home Inspection check during a home inspection is the water heater. Of course we're always looking for the common items like water leakage from the tank, valves, etc. We also look at, if gas, venting, gas lines and the hookup of water and other lines. Sometimes we come across units that make a popping sound. This is not water boiling inside the tank but usually a sediment issue. Depending on your water source and the use of filters, you may get large deposits of sediment inside the bottom of the tank. As the sediment can stick over time, the heat from the unit can cause the sediment to come loose making a popping sound. Depending on how bad the amount of sediment is in the tank, fixes can range from flushing out the unit to having to replace the unit entirely, Check out the video below!
