FAQ: Tank Water Heater Repair and Maintenance

We recommend annual maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This includes flushing the tank and checking crucial components.

While professional service is crucial, you can help maintain your system by checking for leaks, monitoring water quality, and keeping the area around the heater clean and dry.

A standard maintenance service usually takes 1-2 hours, depending on the unit's condition and any necessary repairs.

Flushing removes sediment buildup that can reduce efficiency, cause strange noises, and even lead to tank failure. It's a crucial part of maintaining your water heater's performance and longevity.

The anode rod should be checked annually. If it's less than 1/2 inch thick, heavily corroded, or coated with calcium, it's time for a replacement. Our technicians can assess this during routine maintenance.

Don't wait for a cold shower to signal problems with your tank water heater. Contact Scott Plumbing & Heating today to schedule your repair service or maintenance check.
