Water Heater Repair & Maintenance

Water heater repair is our most common call for plumbing services in the East Valley. Water heaters are one of the most important systems in your home or business, and even small issues can quickly turn into bigger problems if left unaddressed. Sediment buildup - especially common in East Valley homes due to our hard water - can reduce efficiency and shorten the lifespan of your system.

Routine Water Heater Maintenance

Here in the East Valley, we find that well-maintained water heaters tend to last anywhere from 10 to 13 years for traditional tank models. Our hard water and extreme heat – you know how hot it gets in your garage in the summer – mean that without regular maintenance, many units fail in as few as five to six years. The main cause is heavy sediment buildup.

Routine maintenance is one of the best ways to avoid unexpected water heater breakdowns. Flushing the tank and checking key components – like the anode rod – every year can extend the life of your system and improve performance. You should do a water heater flush annually, and replace the anode rod every two to three years.
