Water Heater Repair in Lynnville, TN
61% of households in Lynnville heat with electricity. That is the strongest free clue to what kind of water heater is in your basement, and it decides which faults are even possible.
Answer first
The fuel a town runs on decides which faults are possible, and Lynnville runs mostly on electricity, at 61% of households. That figure is house heating rather than water heating, but the two rarely disagree under one roof. Electric heaters fail at an element or a thermostat, and nothing else is in the running.

The Tennessee average is 16 points lower, so the state figure would mislead you about this town.
Strictly, the survey asks what heats the home. Water heating almost always runs on the same supply, but the two can differ in one house without differing in the town.
Which one do you have
If you are not sure, look at the top of the tank: a flue pipe going up into the ceiling means gas, and no flue at all means electric. The fuel decides the fault list, so start there rather than with the symptom.
Next comes what it is actually doing. A rumbling tank is sediment; a short supply usually names the failed part; a leak decides itself.
