FAQ

Water Heater Maintenance Questions

Straight answers that help customers know when to call, what to expect, and how to avoid letting a small plumbing issue become a bigger problem.

Why should a water heater be flushed?

Flushing removes calcium and sediment that settle at the bottom of the tank. Sediment blocks heat transfer, forcing the unit to work harder and causing tank failures.

What is an anode rod?

An anode rod is a metal rod that attracts corrosive elements in the water, rusting away so the steel water tank doesn't. It should be replaced every 3 to 5 years.
