Hot Water Tank Maintenance Services
Extend the Life of Your Water Heater With Regular Maintenance
When your hot water tank is not functioning properly, it's essential to understand the warning signs indicating the need for repairs. A variety of mechanisms within your water heater can malfunction, causing breakdowns. Potential issues could stem from the burner or heating elements failing, a tripped circuit breaker on an electric heater, a faulty thermostat, or an extinguished pilot light on a gas unit.
Common causes for hot water tank failures for homeowners include:
- Sediment buildup in the tank
- Damaged heating components in the water heater
- Thermostat issues leading to incorrect water temperature
- Faulty pilot light or gas valve
- Broken anode rod
- Loose plumbing connections
- Defective temperature or pressure valve
- Obstructed or damaged drain valve
Regular water heater maintenance can help prevent these common issues and keep your water heater operating smoothly. However, despite routine maintenance, repairs or replacements may sometimes be required. To avoid costly damages, we recommend having your hot water tank professionally inspected and maintained at least once a year.

BOOST HOT WATER TANK EFFICIENCY WITH A WATER SOFTENER
Enhance Your Hot Water Tank’s Performance with a Water Softener
If you're dealing with hard water, a water softener could be the perfect addition to your home. Hard water, which contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, can lead to mineral buildup in your hot water tank. This buildup not only affects the efficiency of your water heater, but it also shortens its lifespan, increases your energy bills, and can even lead to costly repairs.
By installing a water softener, you can prevent these issues, improving your water heater's performance and reducing the frequency of maintenance. Soft water helps reduce sediment buildup, ensuring your tank heats water more efficiently and remains free of obstructions.
Benefits of a Water Softener:
- Prevents Mineral Buildup: Keeps your water heater and plumbing free from scale deposits.
- Improves Energy Efficiency: Soft water requires less energy to heat, reducing your utility costs.
- Extends the Lifespan of Your Appliances: Reduces wear and tear on your water heater and other appliances.
- Cleaner Water: Enjoy cleaner, softer water for your home.
