Water Heater Service in the Bay Area
At least once per year, your water heater should be serviced. The calcium in Bay Area water leaves sediment in the bottom of your filter, creating insulation between the burner and the water. Over time, this lowers the efficiency of your unit. That may mean your water doesn’t get as hot. It could also cause leaks.
Water is a solvent, which means it attacks metal. Inside your water heater is an essential piece called the “sacrificial anode.” This long metal rod is made up of magnesium or aluminum, and it attracts other minerals. Over time, your water will corrode the sacrificial anode. If it isn’t replaced, your water will begin attacking your tank.
When we service your water heater, we will flush the system. This removes that sediment and prevents buildup. It keeps your water heater running as intended and keeps the water in your home reliably hot. Regular water heater maintenance can extend the life of your water heater for the full 10 to 15 years. Through our membership plan, we will do a complete check of your household plumbing once per year.
