When Your Water Heater Sounds Like a Rock Tumbler

When Your Water Heater Sounds Like a Rock Tumbler

If your water heater sounds like it’s tumbling rocks for a middle-school geology project… that’s not ambiance.

That’s often scale buildup—minerals settling and hardening in the tank.

Why it matters (beyond the noise)

Scale can:

  • reduce efficiency (higher bills)
  • shorten heater lifespan
  • cause uneven heating
  • make hot water smell/taste worse sometimes
