Regularly flushing your water heater is essential for maintaining its efficiency, extending its lifespan, and ensuring you have a reliable supply of hot water. Sediment buildup in the tank is a common issue, especially in areas with hard water, where minerals accumulate over time. This buildup can reduce heating efficiency, cause unusual noises, and lead to corrosion, which may result in costly repairs or early replacement.

For most homes, flushing the water heater once a year is recommended. However, if you live in an area with particularly hard water, consider flushing it every six months to prevent excessive sediment accumulation. During a flush, the tank is drained to remove sediment, which allows the heater to operate more efficiently and use less energy.

If you’re unsure about performing a flush yourself, a professional plumber can handle it safely and effectively. They can also inspect the heater for any additional maintenance needs. Taking this simple step regularly can help you avoid unexpected breakdowns and keep your water heater running smoothly for years to come.

Tankless water heaters, also known as on-demand water heaters, offer a compact and efficient alternative to traditional tank systems. Unlike conventional water heaters that store a large amount of heated water, tankless units heat water only as needed, eliminating the need for a bulky tank. This space-saving design is ideal for smaller homes, apartments, or any setting where maximizing available space is a priority. A tankless unit can often be mounted on a wall or tucked into tight spaces, freeing up valuable floor area.

Beyond space efficiency, tankless water heaters can significantly reduce energy costs. Traditional water heaters constantly use energy to keep the stored water hot, even when it’s not in use—a phenomenon called “standby heat loss.” Tankless systems, on the other hand, heat water only when you turn on a tap, saving energy by avoiding continuous heating. This on-demand operation can lower your energy bills by as much as 20-30% annually, making tankless heaters an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice.

While tankless heaters can have a higher upfront cost, their energy savings and longevity often offset this over time, making them a smart investment for homeowners looking to optimize space and efficiency.

A leaking water heater is not only inconvenient but can also lead to significant water damage if left unchecked. Here are the top reasons why your water heater might be leaking and what you can do to stop it.

  1. Loose or Faulty Connections
    The water inlet and outlet connections at the top of the heater can become loose over time. Tightening these connections can often resolve minor leaks. If the leak persists, a plumber may need to replace faulty connectors.

  2. Faulty Temperature and Pressure Relief (T&P) Valve
    The T&P valve releases water if pressure becomes too high. If the valve is defective, it may release water unnecessarily. Replacing the valve can prevent leaks from this source.

  3. Drain Valve Leaks
    The drain valve, located at the bottom, can develop leaks if it isn’t fully closed or if it becomes worn over time. Tightening it slightly can sometimes stop the leak, but if it’s damaged, replacing the valve is usually necessary.

  4. Corroded Tank
    Over time, sediment buildup and corrosion can wear down the tank itself, leading to leaks. Unfortunately, corrosion typically means the tank needs replacement, as it’s a sign of irreversible damage.

  5. Internal Tank Cracks
    Extreme temperature changes can cause cracks in the tank’s inner lining. If this is the issue, a professional inspection is essential, as a full replacement may be necessary.

How to Stop the Leak
First, turn off the power supply to the water heater. Then, shut off the water supply to prevent further leaking. If it’s a minor issue like a loose connection, you may be able to fix it yourself, but for more serious problems like corrosion or internal cracks, call a plumber for professional assistance. Prompt repairs can prevent extensive damage and keep your water heater working safely and efficiently.

Routine Plumbing Maintenance

Your plumbing is meant to operate with as little ongoing maintenance as possible, but that doesn’t mean you can ignore it altogether.

One of the most important plumbing maintenance services is flushing your water heater. All water heaters, including both tanked and tankless heaters, accumulate sediment build-up from your water supply during normal operation. Left unchecked, this sediment can restrict your water flow, make your heater less efficient, increase your utility costs, and shorten the life of your water heater.

The good news is that having your water heater professional flushed is quick, easy, and affordable. We recommend a flush every 1-2 years to keep your unit in tip top shape.

Our Other Services

We offer all kinds of plumbing services, so we’re always able to help when you need it. Some of the other things we can help you with include:

  • Gas line services
  • General plumbing repair services
  • Whole home repiping
  • Water leak detection
  • Clog repair
  • Leak repair
  • Slab leaks
  • Garbage disposal repair and installation
  • Bathroom plumbing services
  • Fixtures and faucets
  • Sinks and drains
  • And more

We don’t avoid “dirty” jobs or the smaller jobs that some plumbers avoid. If you have any concern with your residential plumbing system, it is worth our attention.
