Water Heater Maintenance

Most homeowners do not think about keeping up with the maintenance for their water heater. But annual water heater maintenance can help prolong its’ lifespan. Sediment build up is very hard on your tank. Sediment and minerals harden over time and become rock like in the bottom of your tank.

The inside of your water heater is glass lined – glass and rocks don’t mix well. Sediment can shorten the lifespan of your water heater by prematurely creating hairline fractures in the glass lining of your tank, which allows water to meet the steel that the water heater tank is made of and causes it to rust and leak.
