Hot water can cause serious problems in your bathroom. A cold shower is not the best way to start your day. There are several reasons your bathroom might not be getting hot water. Your local plumber can diagnose the problem.
OLD PIPES
If your hot water is not flowing to the rest of the house, but the problem seems to be in the bathroom, this could be due to a problem with your pipes. Even though you may not be aware, your pipes could be corroded. This can cause water-flow to stop.
Corroding pipes can occur from the inside out, and may be caused by minerals in the water. This is more common in areas with hard water. This corrosion can cause water-flow to stop, and pipes will need to most likely be examined and replaced.
PIPE LINE
If your pipes are working well and you don’t see any signs of corrosion, then it may be your pipe lines. The water heater may not be working properly if it is located on the opposite side to an area that receives hot.
Glendale’s emergency plumber will inspect the route of your pipe and tell you if it is being installed in the most efficient way.
Pipe lines can sometimes run into areas with less insulation or are exposed to extremely cold temperatures. This problem can be fixed by your plumber installing a water heater closer to your bathroom or insulating your pipeline.
PIPE LAKE
The problem seems to not be in the pipes or the line. So what can we do? To make sure that there are no leaks, the last step in checking the pipes is to check for corrosion. It is possible to identify a leaky pipe simply by looking at them carefully and checking the water pressure.
A PARTIALLY CLOSE VALVE
A valve in a pipe line allows you to stop water flow when it is needed. It’s not unusual for pipe lines to remain partially closed after a plumber has finished. This is easy to fix. The easiest way to locate the valve is to follow the pipe from the bathroom to your water heater. After you have located it, open it back up.
The temperature regulating valve can also be installed by Glendale Plumbers. It regulates the water temperature to ensure it isn’t too hot or cool. You might not need to worry about this valve!
CLOGGED FAUCET
The lack of hot water can cause clogging by minerals. Although cold water flows fine, clogging can occur when hot water flows. High temperatures are more likely to cause mineral deposits.
If your home has had hard water issues in the past and you suspect this is the problem, contact a Glendale Plumber to have your faucet running like new. You may also discover that your faucet is misaligned.
WATER PRESSURE
Hot water pressure can have an impact on the temperature of your bathroom. A pressure meter can easily test this. You can skip this possibility if the water pressure coming from your bathroom faucet is equal to the pressure coming from the heater.
WATER HEATER
To determine the distance between the water heater and the bathroom, examine the pipeline. It is possible to need to change the size or configuration of your water heater to suit your home’s requirements. You may experience hot water problems in other parts of your home if this happens.
