Hot water runs out quickly — Bakersfield, California
If your hot water runs out faster than it used to — cutting showers short or leaving you with lukewarm dishwater — the problem is usually inside the water heater. Common culprits include heavy sediment buildup that reduces tank capacity, a failing lower heating element (electric heaters), a broken dip tube that mixes cold water into the hot supply, or a unit that's simply too small for your household's demand. A licensed plumber can diagnose the cause, flush the tank, replace components, or recommend a properly sized replacement.
