A homeowner in 1141 Main St, Half Moon Bay, CA reached out to JK Plumbing after experiencing lukewarm water and longer-than-usual heating times. They also noticed a low rumbling sound coming from the water heater and were concerned it might be time for a full replacement.
We arrived the same day and performed a full inspection. The issue was caused by a faulty lower heating element and significant sediment buildup that had settled at the bottom of the tank—common problems in older or hard water environments.
Challenges & Repair Issues
🔹 Inconsistent Water Temperature – The water heater was producing only lukewarm water.
🔹 Sediment Buildup – Layers of mineral deposits were impacting heat transfer and making noise.
🔹 Faulty Heating Element – The lower element had burned out, reducing the unit’s ability to fully heat the tank.
🔹 Increased Energy Consumption – The system was working harder, driving up utility costs without delivering comfort.
