What’s The Best Way To extend the life of my Water Heater?

eLocalPLUMBERS’ expert from “Ask a plumber” replies: Most water heaters in Raleigh utilize hot water tanks and have a span of roughly 9 -11 years, it is important to maintain water heaters to ensure good working order. A well maintained water heater in Raliegh will reward you with a longer lifespan, up to twenty years, so make sure that you check and repair problems as they occur.

One of the top 10 problems for water heaters is sediment build-up. Mineral deposits can form at the bottom of your tank and, over time, this greatly affects the efficiency of your water heater. You can maintain your water heater by regularly (at least once or twice a year) emptying out the water so that you can clean out the bottom of the tank. When you find the sediment, you will need to open the drain valve so that you can flush out the sediment through the drain. Just flush out the tank by using several buckets of water until the water runs clear and there are no signs of sediment left. By removing sediment and making sure that your water tank is free of mineral buildup, you can prevent serious damage from occurring to your water heater and increase the expected life span.
