No Hot Water A lack of hot water is one of the most common problems for commercial water heaters, and there are a number of reasons why it might occur:

• The pilot light has gone out
• The hot water line is clogged
• Buildup of sediment on the bottom of the heater might be blocking hot water from going through

LA Metro Plumbing is equipped to handle this issue. Insufficient Hot Water If you are finding that small amounts of hot water are being produced by the building’s hot water heater, this could be a warning sign for a serious problem. While it may be that the burner is dirty and needs to be cleaned, it could also be that the thermometer for your hot water heater is broken. As is the case with no hot water, it might be that there is a lot of sediment or dirt deposited on the bottom of your hot water heater which can prevent the heat from adequately heating the water. Rust–Colored Hot Water If your customers, tenants or employees are reporting that the hot water in your building is brown or rust–colored, this is likely a problem that is major and needs immediate attention. What it most likely means is that the inside of your commercial hot water heater has started to rust, which almost always means that the unit has to be replaced. However, the rust could be coming from the pipes leading from your hot water heater as well. LA Metro Plumbing will evaluate the state of the water heater and the pipes that connect it to the plumbing system.
