Don’t Let a Water Heater Disaster Ruin Your Day!
A flooded home is a homeowner’s worst nightmare, and a failing water heater is a common culprit. Even “new” water heaters can rust from the inside, leading to leaks and costly water damage.
Here’s how to protect your home from a water heater disaster:
- Annual Maintenance: Schedule an annual water heater inspection and maintenance service. A plumber can check for rust, sediment buildup, and other potential problems.
- Test the Pressure Relief Valve: This valve prevents excessive pressure buildup, which can cause the tank to rupture. Test it annually to make sure it’s functioning correctly.
- Check the Anode Rod: This rod helps protect the tank from corrosion. Have it inspected and replaced if necessary.
- Consider a Water Softener: Hard water can accelerate rust and corrosion in your water heater. A water softener can extend its lifespan.
- Know the Signs of Trouble: Be aware of signs like rusty water, rumbling sounds, or leaks around the base of the heater. These can indicate a problem that needs immediate attention.
