A homeowner in the 1488 Linda Mar Blvd, Pacifica, CA reached out to JK Plumbing after noticing their water heater was leaking and taking longer than usual to provide hot water. The system was also making popping noises, and water temperature was inconsistent—clear signs of internal wear and sediment buildup.
Our same-day inspection revealed a faulty temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve and heavy sediment accumulation at the bottom of the tank. These issues not only reduced efficiency but posed a potential safety concern.
Challenges & Repair Issues
🔹 Leaking from T&P Valve – A malfunctioning valve was releasing excess water, causing pooling around the base.
🔹 Slow Heating & Inconsistent Temperatures – Sediment was preventing heat from distributing properly.
🔹 Strange Noises During Operation – Popping and banging sounds were caused by mineral buildup inside the tank.
🔹 Safety Risk – A failing T&P valve can increase the risk of overpressure inside the tank if not addressed quickly.
