Full System Inspection and Safety Evaluation
We’ll inspect all aspects of your water heater, including its combustion or electronic ignition system. Our plumber will perform a complete safety assessment. For fuel-burning systems, that includes testing the ventilation system and ensuring there aren’t any backdraft conditions.
Flushing the Tank to Remove Sediment Buildup
Even if you have soft water, sediment will build up in your tank over time. That buildup results in higher energy usage and less consistent temperatures. It will eventually promote rust of the tank as well. By flushing the tank, we’ll remove all the rust, limescale, silt, and other accumulations. With tankless water heaters, we perform descaling instead. That’s where we use vinegar and water to clear scale from valves, tubes, pipes, and so forth.
Checking the Anode Rod for Corrosion
Tank water heaters have a sacrificial anode rod. The rod attracts rust through electrolysis, thereby helping to protect the tank and other components. Anode rods fail over time. The typical lifespan is between three and five years. Every year, we’ll check your rod and replace it once it has begun to corrode.
Testing Thermostats, Burners, and Heating Elements
Our plumber will test your thermostat and calibrate it as needed. We’ll also clean and calibrate your burner or heating elements, which will help extend their lifespan.
Benefits of Routine Water Heater Maintenance
The main benefit of water heater maintenance is lower costs. In fact, many homeowners spend unnecessarily by not scheduling water heater service until there’s a problem. Consider that water heating accounts for up to 20% of the average household’s total energy consumption. Water heaters with significant buildup in the tank, for instance, use a lot more fuel or electricity. Just by flushing your water heater, you can lower your water-heating-related energy costs by as much as 30% a year.
- Fewer repairs
- Safer operation
- Less risk of leaks
- Lower energy bills
- Quieter water heating
- Valid warranty coverage
- Reduced carbon footprint
- Longer equipment lifespan

Water Heater Maintenance FAQs
Here are answers to some common questions about our water heater services in Dallas and Fort Worth. If you have additional questions, contact us at your convenience.
How often should I schedule water heater maintenance?
We recommend scheduling a water heater inspection at least once a year. The best time to schedule is typically early fall, before the higher energy usage during winter. Our plumber can then recommend maintenance as needed. That can include flushing the tank, swapping out the anode rod, and so forth.
Can maintenance help prevent early water heater replacement?
Yes, regular maintenance can extend the life of your water heater and help it to age more gracefully. Most water heater warranties require routine maintenance as a condition of coverage. Flushing your water heater and replacing the anode rod as needed helps to prevent rust and other common issues. We can also recommend proactive repairs as required.
