Common Water Heater Problems in South Downey

South Downey's water is hard, its housing stock is aging, and its apartment density is high.

  • Sediment buildup causing popping noises and short tank life

    South Downey's water supply carries dissolved minerals that settle to the bottom of the tank as sediment.

  • Corroded anode rods leading to rusty water and tank failure

    The anode rod sacrifices itself to protect the tank from corrosion.

  • Failed heating elements in electric tanks

    Sediment buildup is the leading cause of heating element failure in South Downey.

    Many of the newer townhomes and apartments near Downey Landing and the Paramount Boulevard corridor have tankless water heaters.
