Tampa Homeowners: What to Do When Your Water Heater Dies

❄️ Cold Shower? Here’s Why Your Water Heater Might Be to Blame

There’s nothing like starting your day with a sudden splash of ice-cold water. Whether you’re bathing, washing dishes, or doing laundry, hot water plays a vital role in daily life. When your water heater fails, it’s not just an inconvenience—it can disrupt your entire routine.

At Cass Plumbing, we get dozens of calls each month from Tampa homeowners dealing with issues like:

  • No hot water at all

  • Lukewarm water despite cranking the dial

  • Rusty water coming from taps

  • Water puddles around the heater

  • Loud banging or popping sounds

🔧 Common Water Heater Issues in Tampa Homes

Tampa’s warm weather doesn’t mean your heater works less. In fact, the hard water and humidity in Florida can accelerate wear-and-tear on internal parts.

Typical problems include:

  • Sediment buildup: Reduces efficiency and increases risk of overheating

  • Rusting tank walls: Leads to corrosion and tank failure

  • Broken thermostat or heating element

  • Faulty T&P valve (temperature & pressure relief)

Cass Plumbing’s experts are trained to spot these issues early and repair them before you’re left with a flooded utility closet.

🛠 Repair or Replace?

  • New high-efficiency tank units

  • Hybrid systems with smart technology

We’ll help you choose the right system based on your household size, water usage, and budget.
